Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney To Team Up For Farragut North?

Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney together sounds like a movie marketeer’s dream. Now it is going to become a reality - maybe. It has been announced that George Clooney is toying with the idea of attaching himself as director on an adaptation of Beau Willimon’s play, Farragut North, with DiCaprio attached to star.

It’s not yet known whether Clooney will star alongside DiCaprio, but given that the play contains a character that Clooney would be perfect for, so don’t be surprised if he ends up in front of the camera on this one as well.

DiCaprio will play an idealistic communications director working for a fast-rising presidential candidate (come one Clooney!), who gradually falls foul of a backstabbing and dirty tricks from rival politicos.

If Clooney decides to direct, it will be his fourth film as a director. The third - American Football comedy Leatherheads - will be out next year.

Willimon will be writing the script for Warner Bros.
