George Clooney is a very busy actor and public person but that doesn't mean that he hasn't got the time to make plans for the future. While he is still shooting for the star studded 'Ocean's Thirteen' (with Matt Damon and Brad Pitt), the actor has already been contacted by the Coen brothers to star in their next movie.

George, Ethan and Joel Coen previously met on the set of 'O Brother Where Art Thou?' and, more recently, on that of 'Intolerable Cruelty' (2003). And, seeing that his name and his experience is more than enough to make a blockbuster movie, they want him back.

This time, as opposed to the other two, Clooney will star in a more serious film, inspired from a book by the CIA boss (1977-1981) Stansfield Turner, 'Burn Before Reading: Presidents, CIA Directors and Secret Intelligence'. The project, titled 'Burn Before Reading' will focus on a CIA agent who plans to write a book and to reveal all the secrets that were kept from the public.

At one point, the agent loses the disc on which he kept his material and starts a desperate search to retrieve it. The only thing that always seems to come in his way is a professional assassin, hired by the CIA to stop the agent on his tracks and played, ironically enough, by Clooney.

Production for the movie will start in August 2007, as that was the only time when the actor was available. After shooting for 'Ocean's Thirteen', George will start working on 'Letterheads', a football story he will be directing.
