Smokin' Joe Carnahan: CLOONEY EXITS

CLOONEY EXITS

Kids:

Rough weekend. I had a bad feeling after they pushed 'Leatherheads' to April
because of the extensive post on that film that something was going to have
to give. Also, George is neck deep in the Coen bros. film at the moment and
trying to do 'Michael Clayton' press which will likely carry over into Awards
season...SO...they wanted to see about pushing White Jazz back, which I
really don't want to do. I've been waiting awhile to make this one and I wasn't
content to sit on my hands.

Right now, (actually it began on friday) we're in the process of trying to plug
a guy into this movie that, if it works, would be pretty f*cking amazing. No,
INCREDIBLY f*cking amazing, so we'll see what happens.

No tears kids. This is the business. It happens all the time and you've got to
have the balls and the ability to push past in spite of these setbacks.

We march on.

Absolutely!

Can't wait to read more updates on this.

Take care. :)

This is just a guess, and I hope that I'm not out of line: Gerard Butler?

As you can tell, I'm anxious. :)

"pretty f*cking amazing. No, INCREDIBLY f*cking amazing, "

Someone in the Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks stratosphere? That'd be interesting.

What's a film without a setback? One that's not being made!

On-point Joe.

Kick some a$$! An orchard of ripe talent out there and I'm sure you'll have your pick.

Can't wait.

Peace,

Can't wait to hear who it is. I remember Cusack and Nolte being attached back in the day...

Wow! Thanks for the update. And ,OK, I do love George Clooney on screen, but White Jazz will be awesome without him, of that I am sure. No worries. Looking forward to your updates!

The allstar f.cking lineup:

Sean Penn
Edward Norton
Charlize Theron
&
James Gandolfini

I know, I know - the budget ain't that high. ;)

I'd love to see Sean Penn in a real f.cking role 'cause the guy rocks!

Are you still working with WIP or does this mean you need to shop it elsewhere?

Is it true that, as imdb says, that Charlize Theron is going to be Glenda Bledsoe?

Are Ray Liotta, Andy Garcia, or Jason Patric going to be involved? I could see all of them in this piece, especially Ray Liotta as Dave Klein.
