George Clooney buys a documentary.
Share this Story
Two years ago a small documentary entitled Our Brand Is Crisis was released and sadly no one really seen the film. Well that may no longer be the case because Warner Brothers has bought the rights to the 2005 documentary. Why did they buy this? Well for George Clooney of course because he wants to produce and possibility direct and star in a new film based on the documentary.
For those who never saw the original documentary, the movie focuses on electioneering and the dangers of bringing American tactics of political campaigning to a foreign country. Clooney is looking along with Warner Brothers to re-imagine the documentary as a fictional dark comedy.
The film is being written by Peter Straughan. And the film will be produced by Clooney’s production company Smoke House Pictures. No other news about the film is released as of yet but as soon as Straughan gives Clooney the script, I am sure we will hear more about casting and production start dates. Until then Clooney is busy working on other things including Leatherheads and Burn After Reading.
