Clooney Feels the Burn.

Word is George Clooney is set to reunite with the Coens for Burn After Reading, which is presumably their next film after Cormac McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men. “Production Weekly says the Coen Bros. script is loosely based on the novel ‘Burn Before Reading: Presidents, CIA Directors, and Secret Intelligence,’ by Admiral Stansfield Turner, who served as director of the CIA from 1977 to 1981. The contemporary East Coast caper is about a CIA agent who is writing a book and he loses the disc. Clooney wouldn’t play the agent, but instead a killer.” Well, ok then. But what happened to Hail Caesar! (or, for that matter, Clooney directing the Coens’ Suburbicon)?
