Clooney and Coens, Together Again

This should make the Movie MILF happy... you know how she has a thing for George Clooney.

The Hollywood Reporter states that Clooney will be reteaming with Joel and Ethan Coen for their third film together, Burn After Reading, a comedy about a CIA agent who loses the disk for the book he is writing.  Georgie Boy will play a killer.

Shooting is expected to begin late summer/early fall of next year, after Clooney finishes filming Leatherheads, his 1920s football movie, which he will direct and star in, opposite Renee Zellweger (tentatively).

Clooney has previously worked with the Coen Brothers on O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Intolerable Cruelty.  The Coens have pushed aside two other projects to make this film instead, Suburbicon and Hail Caesar, which Clooney was also planning to appear in.

Scorsese has his DeNiro, Burton has his Depp, Herzog had his Kinski, etc.  Looks like the Coens have found their muse... in the form of a ruggedly dashing man's man.

Why, yes it is, Seekie... yes it is... Nice one, Nina.  She's usually very thorough.  Tsk tsk.

Oh, and I take back what I said about Clooney not taking a bad picture.
