George Clooney To Play “The Tourist”
Warner Bros. has hired Anthony Peckham to adapt “The Tourist“, an Olen Steinhauer novel, into a film as a potential star vehicle for George Clooney.
The WB acquired the rights to “The Tourist” last fall. The novel is said to be a contemporary international thriller about a spy who risks everything to reveal a conspiracy after he’s accused of a murder he didn’t commit.
Peckham is the writer who wrote the script for Human Factor which Clint Eastwood will be directing with Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon starring. He also did a rewrite on the Sherlock Holmes script that Guy Ritchie is set to direct as well as a rewrite on Book of Eli, a project that has Denzel Washington interested in starring.
Clooney’s next film will be the Joel and Ethan Coen directed Burn After Reading.
