George Clooney will STARE AT GOATS! This actually sounds pretty sweet...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. So, further news out of Cannes. Longtime friends Grant Heslov and George Clooney are working together again, this time with Heslov behind the camera and Clooney in front. The flick is called MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS and is based on Jon Ronson's book about the US Army's First Earth Battalion, which were supposed to have paranormal powers. Hence the title, referring to the belief that a man could kill a goat by staring at it. Mind bullets, The D would call 'em.

Script is by a guy named Peter Straughan, who penned HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS AND ALIENATE PEOPLE... apparently this guy attracts projects with weird titles. Thoughts?
