The Men Who Stare At Goats (Really)



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.
