George Clooney Eyes the Paranormal

Can he drop a hooven animal with a single glance in his upcoming flick? After tossing around the ol' pigskin in 'Leatherheads,' GEORGE CLOONEY is now setting his sights on goats! He'll star in the absurdist, paranormal-themed flick 'Men Who Stare at Goats,' Daily Variety reports. The film adapts a British journalist's book about the U.S. Army's First Earth Battalion's supposed attempts to harness supernatural powers and -- perhaps you guessed it -- kill goats by merely staring at them. Next in theaters for George? 'Burn After Reading,' a star-studded dramedy from the COEN brothers that finds George and BRAD PITT playing two dodgy gym employees who happen upon a CIA agent's top secret memoirs, which they try and sell to the highest bidder! Look for that on the big screen this September. [link]
