Sci-Fi Channel gets the scoop on Clooney project: The Men Who Stare At goats (http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=59931)
George Clooney and Grant Heslov are assembling an all-star cast for their Mandate Pictures-produced SF war movie The Men Who Stare at Goats, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Ewan McGregor, Oscar winner Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges are in negotiations to star opposite Clooney in the feature, which Heslov is directing from a script by Peter Straughan.
Based on the book by the Guardian columnist Jon Ronson, Goats is set in Iraq and centers on Bob Wilton (McGregor), a desperate reporter who stumbles upon the story of a lifetime when he meets Lyn Cassady (Clooney), who claims to be a former secret U.S. military psychic soldier who was reactivated post-9/11.
9/11 CT forum regulars will recognize the title as that of the book by JREF forum member Ronson about flag-rank froot loop Gen. Albert Stubblebine. Stubblebine is notorious both for allegedly conceiving of the experiments to kill goats by staring at them and for claiming that this hole is too small for a 757 fuselage.
