George Clooney is keeping his directorial docket full after wrapping production on Netflix’s The Midnight Sky as the two-time Oscar winner has entered talks with Amazon Studios to direct and produce a feature adaptation of The Tender Bar, according to Deadline.
The film adaptation was originally set at Sony with Theodore Melfi (Hidden Figures) attached to direct, but after he departed the project the studio put it into turnaround with Amazon acquiring the rights shortly after.
The script for the film is written by William Monahan, best-known for his Oscar-winning work on the Martin Scorsese-helmed ensemble crime thriller The Departed, as well as Body of Lies and Edge of Darkness.
