After optioning Olen Steinhauer's The Tourist last fall, Warner Brothers recently announced that Anthony Peckham will adapt the book into a screenplay as a star vehicle for George Clooney. Clooney's own Smokehouse production company will produce, with he, Grant Heslov and Nina Wolarsky to helm the project. The plot is about a man who (cue summer-movie announcer guy), accused of a murder he didn't commit, risks it all to unravel a conspiracy.
Clooney will also be providing the voice of the titular character in the upcoming animated adaptation of Roald Dahl's The Fantastic Mr. Fox, due to hit theaters in late 2009.

Goodness, George Clooney is a busy man. What an eye candy. I still remember him in his 30s.
This picture of George Clooney is odd. It's like he's looking back at you.
