Coming attractions: Clooney tosses the old pigskin around
By Anthony Breznican, Gary Levin and Ken Barnes,

Are you ready for some Clooney/Krasinski football?
Leatherheads is a fictionalized account of the origins of the NFL, by way of an old-fashioned screwball comedy.
The movie, directed and co-written by George Clooney, stars the Syriana Oscar winner as the coach of a wannabe pro football team in the 1920s. The title of the film, out Dec. 7, refers to the thin leather helmets of early football.
The coach recruits a World War I hero (The Office’s John Krasinski) as his star player. “At that time, the NFL was just a bunch of guys smashing heads in cornfields,” Krasinski says. “(He) realizes that if he can get a star college player, more people will come to see these quote-unquote professional teams.”
The plan works, and crowds start gathering. But Renee Zellweger’s journalist is trying to expose the star as a fraud.
She of course ends up in a love triangle. Cracks Krasinski: “All the ladies can rest assured, George Clooney will always win. I’m no match for him.”
