George Clooney just can’t stay away from films about financial and political corruption can he? The actor and director has his eye on a feature adaptation of the stage play Enron, as in the Texas based energy company that found itself in a heap of trouble years ago due to its questionable “accounting practices.” A documentary based on the incident was released in 2005, and most recently a musical hit the stages of London. According to The Guardian, Clooney is ready to get on the bandwagon and bring a dramatized version of Enron to the big screen.
Ever since it was announced that Johnny Depp was going to play Tonto in Disney’s big screen adaptation of The Lone Ranger, we’ve said that they’ll need an actor like George Clooney or Brad Pitt to play the title character. Do you know why?
