George Clooney Set for Men Who Stare at Goats

George Clooney will topline, and his Smoke House partner Grant Heslov will helm, Men Who Stare at Goats.

The film is an adaptation of British journalist Jon Ronson's book about the U.S. Army's First Earth Battalion, a unit that was to use paranormal powers. The title refers to the notion that one can kill a goat by staring at it.

According to Variety, the script was penned by Brit Peter Straughan (How to Lose Friends and Alienate People). The project has been around for some time, but international buyers only just received the script this week as the Cannes fest and market got started. The script topped the 2007 Brit List of best unproduced screenplays.

No word on when production will start.

    true story, and I don't even know if you could claim clooney has ONE "best", most of the good ones hover right about the same. And even if they don't, its always debateable.
