There I was, innocently mooching across the net earlier when I discovered a future film project that'll be right at home in the 'oddest name' family. Oh, that and it actually sounds pretty interesting.
"The Men Who Stare At Goats" is a novel by British journalist Jon Ronson, telling the tale of the U.S. Army's First Earth Battalion.
Ok, fine, so where exactly do the goats come in, I hear you cry? (Er, very quietly...)
Well, the battalion was reported to use paranormal powers - sufficient to kill a goat just by staring at it.
Anyway, the novel was adapted into a script by the man responsible for the upcoming How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.
Smoke House director Grant Heslov will direct, while his friend, (the continuously interesting) George Clooney, will star.
Night Night.

What will it be next, 'The Women Who Stare At Sheep' The next biggest yawn after the Lord of the Rings coming out of New Zealand, that'll be good. The cover looks a bit like 'Top Secret' - is there a reference there?
Hey Glenn,
I have a copy of Top Secret at home, and yes this does appear to have more than a passing resemblance... nicely spotted.
