George Clooney directs and co-stars in Leatherheads, his upcoming movie about American football in the 1920s. He stars opposite Renée Zellweger in this highly anticipated witty romatic comedy.
Its interesting to note that George Clooney actually rewrote the Leatherheads script (initially written by Brantley & Reilly), but the Writers Guild of America denied Clooney a screenplay credit.
Quoting Clooney on Leatherheads…
“With any luck, we set up a few classic sports moments and then sort of poop all over them. That’s our hope. Our hope is that every time you think it’s going to get really sappy for a second, we turn it on its ear.” — Entertainment Weekly fall 2007 preview.
