George

If George Clooney is doing something, well, you need to know. And the stakes have risen even more as he confirms that he will be directing it too. The actor is set to don a snowsuit for a post-apocalyptic presentation that is said to be based on Lily Brooks-Dalton's Novel, Good Morning, Midnight.

In the adaptation of Lily Brooks-Dalton's novel Good Morning, Midnight, he'll play lonely Arctic scientist Augustine, who tries to make contact with the crew of a spacecraft as they attempt to return to terra firma. According to Slashfilm, Mark L. Smith, screenwriter of The Revenant, adapted Lily Brooks-Dalton’s novel. Clooney will produce with usual producing partner Grant Heslov, along with anonymous Content and Syndicate Entertainment.

“Grant and I couldn’t be more excited to be involved with this incredible project,” Clooney said. “Mark is a writer we’ve long admired and his script is haunting. We’re thrilled to be working with our friends at Netflix as well.”

Scott Stuber, head of Netflix’s film division, added: “Having known and worked with George for over two decades, I can’t think of anyone better to bring this amazing story to life. The book is powerful and moving, and Mark’s adaptation is beautifully written. At its core, this is a story about human nature, and one that I know our global audiences will fall in love with, just like I did when I read it.”

Well, we are excited already!
