First and foremost, I’d like to say that this isn’t a joke.  Or at least I don’t think it is.  TV Guide is reporting that George Clooney has signed on to Men Who Stare At Goats.  This movie is being adapted from Jon Ronson’s book of the same name.

The movie tells us about the Army’s foray into the paranormal.  Evidently in 1979 the Army experimented with the possiblility that a soldier could become invisible, walk through walls or kill a goat by staring at it.  They are taking the whole, if looks could kill thing to the limit.  These are the soldiers of the First Earth Battalion and they are supposedly helping fight the war on terror as you read this.  By the way this book is non-fiction.

I have no idea who else will star in it, or when it will be filmed and released.  Grant Heslov, George’s partner in Smoke House Productions is slated to direct.  That is unless one of the members of the First Earth Battalion finds out first.
