GEORGE CLOONEY RELIEF FOR DARFUR. ADVOCATE FOR The International Crisis Group, a nonprofit organization dedicated to resolving deadly conflicts in places like Darfur. In April 2006 Clooney visited refugee camps in the African country and later testified before the U.N. Security Council about the tragedy. WHY HE’S MOTIVATED: “My visit certainly made me more passionate about it,” says Clooney, 46. “But it’s important that a trip like that isn’t about how it affected me. That’s the danger of celebrity–to go, ‘It was so sad for me.’ The truth is, it’s sad for the millions of people whose lives are being destroyed.” To learn more, go to www.crisisgroup.org

Burn After Reading Casting News. John Malkovich is in negotiations to star opposite George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand in the Coen brothers’ “Burn After Reading” for Focus Features and Working Title Films. The dark screwball comedy centers on Ozzie Cox (Malkovich), a former CIA agent who loses the disc of the memoir he is writing. McDormand will play Cox’s philandering wife. Clooney is set to play an assassin. Because the screenplay is being kept under wraps, it is unclear what Pitt’s character will be. Shooting is scheduled to begin in August. Joel and Ethan Coen penned the screenplay, and the former will direct the contemporary-set project. Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner are producing alongside the Coens. Malkovich, whose upcoming film credits include “Beowulf” and “The Great Buck Howard,” is a two-time Oscar nominee for “In the Line of Fire” and “Places in the Heart.” “Burn” would mark his first collaboration with the Coens.

TV Alert: George to appear in Cronkite Tribute. CBS News will honor longtime anchor Walter Cronkite with a primetime special later this month, the network said Thursday. “That’s the Way It is: Celebrating Cronkite at 90″ will air at 8 pm. Friday, May 18, on CBS. It will mark the history and legacy of the 91-year-old TV legend, who most recently contributed to the “CBS Evening News” by announcing the beginning of the September 5, 2006, show that started Katie Couric’s tenure. Couric will be in the roster of news stars — as well as competitors Charles Gibson and Brian Williams — who will be interviewed about Cronkite’s legacy. Also appearing will be CBS News journalists Don Hewitt, Mike Wallace, Morley Safer and the man who replaced Cronkite in 1981, Dan Rather. So too will be Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters and Ted Koppel plus friends Spike Lee, George Clooney and Robin Williams. (Hollywood Reporter)
From Joe Carnahan’s Personal Blog “Smokin’ Joe Carnahan” Clooney is filming the Coen Bros. movie next and then he’s sliding into one of Klein’s Sy Devore suits and we’re beating the holy hell out of Eisenhower-era L.A. I am putting together a little show reel for WHITE JAZZ including some badass photoshop stuff of Clooney AS Klein (against a 1957 shot of Chavez Ravine that looks like he’s standing in it) and I am going to see about throwing that up here for your viewing pleasure.
The Time 100 Most Influential. There is a Mende proverb told by my tribe in 
Sierra Leone: “The stranger who tells our stories when we cannot speak not only awakens our spirits and hearts but also shows our humanity—which others want to forget—and in doing so, becomes family.” When George Clooney went to Darfur to raise awareness of the suffering of the people there, he became part of our family. As someone who was forced to participate in the Sierra Leonean civil war as a child soldier, I know the damage that war causes to human beings. But I also know the resilience of the human spirit; I know that there is always the possibility for recovery. That is something that Clooney clearly sees too. He has used his fame to speak wholeheartedly for those who cannot speak, with genuine concern and insight and a deep commitment and selflessness that is rare but does not have to be. Clooney, 46, took his family—his father is veteran television journalist Nick Clooney—with him to Darfur on his first trip there in 2006, and together they made A Journey to Darfur, which aired on the AmericanLife network. The actor returned to the U.S. as a consistent advocate for action in that war-ravaged region, addressing a rally in Washington, lobbying the Senate, speaking before the U.N. Security Council. His celebrity gave him the opportunity to speak. But when he spoke, it was simply as another human being, one with unremitting passion, who could not stand by and watch the genocide in Darfur continue. We need more people like George Clooney and his father, people who are willing to work hard to expose the suffering of our fellow human beings in all parts of the world.
Clooney, Heslov visit ‘Tehran’ George Clooney and his Smoke House partner Grant Heslov will co-write a dramedy for Warner Bros. Pictures detailing how the CIA, with help from Hollywood, used a fake movie project to smuggle a handful of Americans out of Tehran during the 1979 hostage crisis. Warners has snapped up the film rights to Joshuah Berman’s Wired magazine article on the real-life intelligence tale and set it up with Smoke House to produce. As with any Smoke House project, “Escape From Tehran” is a potential directing and starring vehicle for Clooney. Project is the first Heslov and Clooney have penned together since 2005’s “Good Night, and Good Luck.” Berman’s article in the current issue of Wired centers around CIA operative Tony Mendez, a master of disguise who was put in charge of rescuing six Americans hiding out in Tehran. He came up with the idea of using a bogus movie and contacted Hollywood makeup artist John Chambers. Chambers and Bob Sidell, also a makeup artist, launched
Studio Six Prods. (an allusion to the six Americans awaiting rescue) and announced their first movie project, to be shot in Iran. Both Variety and the Hollywood Reporter were duped into writing news stories on the film after Studio Six took out trade ads. Mendez went to Tehran in January 1980 and told the Americans to pretend they were Canadians on a scouting trip for a big-budget Hollywood epic. The ruse worked. Smokehouse VP Nina Wolarsky brought in “Escape.” David Klawans (”Nacho Libre”) is attached to produce. UTA repped the magazine article. Heslov and Clooney launched the Warners-based Smoke House last year after Clooney parted ways with former partner Steven Soderbergh.Clooney is currently directing and starring in the 1920s sports pic “Leatherheads,” which Smoke House is producing for Universal.

Leatherheads updates (with thanks to Clooney Project)
‘Leatherheads’ shooting in Greensboro There’s no George Clooney - yet. But War Memorial Stadium is decked out for him and the other stars of the movie “Leatherheads.” Filming for the movie is taking place in front of the stadium on Yanceyville Street today. The scene being shot is a crowd scene and the extras are all in period dress. Clooney stars in and directs the movie, set during the 1920s at the dawn of pro football. His co-stars include Renée Zellweger and John Krasinski of TV’s “The Office.” Extras were being fitted with costumes early this morning. Members of the Tarheel T’s Model T Ford Club of the Piedmont were also revving their engines for their part in the movie. Eight Model T’s owned and driven by club members are being used for the film.
Turning Heads:
Residents try for sneak peeks at George Clooney, actors in town for movie Since George Clooney came to town last week to shoot scenes for his movie Leatherheads, Megan Abrams has been coming downtown in hopes of catching a glimpse of him. When Clooney walked by her Friday, she happened to be looking the wrong way and noticed him only as he was walking away. That was not cceptable. [Offsite]
Wheres’ George?
It’s a wrap! The “Leatherheads” team is packing up its lights and cameras and taking its action elsewhere. Not since Kevin Costner and crew first brought their golf clubs to town in 2001 has Greenville been this flush, suffering from celebrity fever. This spring, all anyone has heard from the carpool to the boardroom is, “Have you seen George?” Yeah, yeah, we’ve seen him, tried to talk with him. His agent’s reply: “As you might imagine, the number of requests for interviews has been overwhelming. George is currently not able to conduct any of these interviews while filming, since directing, as well as acting, is occupying all of his available time.” [Offsite]
Cleaning Up:
Twin City Cleaners is one of many local businesses bolstered by movie Bailey Dempsey and her husband, Dan, became familiar faces at the costume trailers on the set of Leatherheads, the movie being filmed in the Winston-Salem area. The couple picked up and dropped off costumes for the film’s principals and extras for the past week. A representative for Speakeasy Productions LLC contacted the Dempseys nearly two weeks ago about cleaning costumes for Leatherheads at their dry cleaners, Twin City Cleaners & Wedding Gown Specialists based in Lewisville. [Offsite]
Film crew uses Winston-Salem City Hall for movie Leatherheads. People who happened to be in the vicinity of city hall this morning got to see Renee Zellweger, one of the stars of Leatherheads, a movie about the early days of professional football that has been shooting in Winston-Salem. Extras dressed as reporters surrounded Zellweger on the steps of City Hall as photographers with the production shot still photos. The movie is set in the mid-1920s. The production has been shooting in Winston-Salem for the past week at such locations as the Millennium Center, the Nissen Apartments Building and Hanes Middle School. Shooting here will wrap up tomorrow. From here, it’s on to Statesville.
George Clooney’s ‘Leatherheads’ filming continues in Greensboro. He wasn’t there early, but when George Clooney did arrive, he created a stir among bystanders and extras on the set of his new movie. Clooney, along with cast and crew, was at War Memorial Stadium on Thursday to film scenes for “Leatherheads,” a movie in which he’s starring and directing. The romantic comedy, which also stars Renee Zellweger, is about the early days of professional football in the 1920s. While others were at the set as early as 5:30 a.m., Clooney wasn’t sighted until midmorning. He jogged past the front of the stadium and up a short grassy bank to join a crew of extras. With nothing blocking her view, Wesaal Khan was able to get a picture of Clooney on her camera phone. She shrieked, then called her sister in South Africa. Along with Khan, a research assistant at North Carolina A&T State University, were fellow researcher Xiu Lidong of China and Parvaneh Nouri. They left the laboratory quickly when they learned Clooney was at the nearby stadium, Nouri said. “They are Ph.D doctors and they just left the room,” Nouri said. Anne Reaves, an extra from Greensboro, finished her scenes for the day, then raved about the lunches of salmon, lasagna, Caesar salad and cakes — and about Clooney. “I saw George Clooney today in his little T-shirt. He’s so cute,” she said. Earlier in the day, extras were fitted in their 1920s period dress, the Ford Model T’s were parked at the stadium, and firefighters stood ready to provide rainwater on the set. “I don’t think I want to be a movie star if I have to get up at this hour,” said Greensboro police Sgt. Bill Hedrick, who arrived at the stadium at 5:30 a.m. to help with traffic. “Of course, George Clooney may still be asleep.” The eight cars needed for Thursday’s shots were provided by the Tar Heel T’s Model T Ford Club of the Piedmont, and club members didn’t complain about the hour. Filming for the movie began earlier this year in South Carolina and has taken place since then in several North Carolina locations. It is expected to finish in June.
