"Hail, Caesar!" Berlin premiere turns into refugee crisis debate

By Michael Roddy BERLIN (Reuters) - The international premiere at the Berlin film festival for the Coen brothers' "Hail, Caesar!" turned into a debate about refugees on Thursday as the filmmakers and cast found themselves challenged at a news conference to do more to end the crisis. One questioner suggested that George Clooney, one of the stars of "Hail, Caesar!", should do a remake of his film "Syriana" which was about murky oil industry deals in the Middle East, but this time focus on refugees. Clooney responded that he would be meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday to discuss refugees, and would visit a refugee centre.
