George Clooney Stares at Goats

Yes, you read that correctly. Currently, George Clooney is staring at goats in Puerto Rico. Now, let me explain before you start thinking really weird thoughts (or is it too late?). Clooney is at work there, filming a new movie with a working title of Men Who Stare at Goats. It's a catchy title at least. Though I am not sure it properly conveys the movies anti-war satire message.

Stranger still is the premise of this movie. A paranormal unit of the US Army which is reported to have a belief in soldiers using physic powers to do things such as become invisible, pass through walls, and (get ready for this one) kill goats by staring at them. No, I am not kidding!


Working on the Carribean Island along with Clooney are Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges, and Kevin Spacey. Clooney's character is US operative, Lyn Cassady.


Clooney will also have a rather unusual look for the film. He is wearing a long brown wig, and a mustache. See photo above. Men Who Stare at Goats is being directed by George Clooney's close pal (and Smoke House partner) Grant Heslov. This will be his first direction of a feature film.
