HEY………….here are two of ten releases just out on line about a little surprise …..happy to report: Gorgeous George Stares At Goats Clooney becomes a psychic soldier Source: Variety Gorgeous George Stares At Goats We suspect that usually George Clooney's stare only makes him a ladykiller, but today, he's signing on for a different task: killing goats with only the power of his mind. Yes, he'll be starring in The Men Who Stare At Goats, to be directed by his producing partner and Good Night, And Good Luck co-writer Grant Heslov. The story's based around the US Army's semi-mythical First Earth Battalion, which apparently investigated psychic powers and non-lethal weapons during the late 1970s and 1980s, after Lt. Col. Jim Channon went on a fact-finding mission through the hippy communes of California and came back advocating ginseng regulators, divining tools, omni-directional thought and colourful uniforms so that "individuals will shine through the conformity. Groovy dude. They also had a goat lab at Fort Bragg, where for 25 years soldiers tried to kill goats by staring at them. Allegedly, it worked once, but we suspect that had more to do with the goats by that point probably being quite old. The film's based on the book all about the events by journalist Jon Ronson, with a script by How To Lose Friends and Alienate People's Peter Straughan. While Heslov's directed before, this is his highest profile film to date, what with bestest bud the Cloonster starring. And also staring. So fingers crossed for something truly groovy, man. Helen O'Hara AND…………………………… George Clooney in Men Who Stare At Goats movie Posted by David Pescovitz, May 16, 2008 10:12 PM | permalink The Men Who Stare At Goats is a must-read 2005 book by UK journalist Jon Ronson about the US government's interest in very strange stuff, like Jedi powers, psychic spying, subliminal sound weapons, and the potential to kill something (like a goat, or an enemy soldier) just by looking at it. Fact or fiction, or most likely some of both, it's an absolute blast to read. (And Ronson's BBC documentary based on the book, Crazy Rulers of the World, is a lot of fun too! You can find it here on Google Video.) Yesterday, it was announced that Grant Heslov will direct a feature film based on The Men Who Stare At Goats. The star? George Clooney. From Variety: 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. Script topped the 2007 Brit List of best unproduced screenplays.
