George Clooney will write and reportedly star in another CIA movie.
‘Escape from Tehran’ focuses on the true story of the CIA using a fake Hollywood movie project to smuggle a handful of Americans out of Tehran during the 1979 hostage crisis.
Clooney will write the script with Grant Heslov - who he penned ‘Good Night and Good Luck’ with - and the movie will be produced by the pair’s Smoke House company, which was set up last year. It is yet to be confirmed whether Clooney will also be starring in the project.
Warner Bros. secured the rights to an article on the undercover operation written by Joshua Bearman for Wired magazine. ‘Escape from Tehran’ is Clooney’s third foray into the CIA world. He starred as a CIA agent in 2005 film ‘Syriana’, and is currently working with the Coen brothers on ‘Burn After Reading’, a black comedy about a CIA agent who loses the transcript of his book.
