George Clooney to direct Neflix’s Good Morning, Midnight

25th June 2019 - StreamedTV

George Clooney is to star in and direct Neflix’s adapatation of the novel Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton.

The post-apocalyptic tale follows the parallel stories of Augustine (Clooney), a lonely scientist in the Arctic, as he races to make contact with the crew of the Aether spacecraft as they try to return home to Earth.

Brooks-Dalton’s novel was met with critical acclaim and was named one of the best books of the year by Shelf Awareness and the Chicago Review of Books. The film will begin production in October.

Mark L. Smith adapted the novel for the screen and the film will be produced by Smokehouse Pictures’ Grant Heslov and Clooney alongside Anonymous Content and Syndicate Entertainment.

“Grant and I couldn’t be more excited to be involved with this incredible project,” said Clooney. “Mark is a writer we’ve long admired and his script is haunting. We’re thrilled to be working with our friends at Netflix as well.”

“Having known and worked with George for over two decades, I can’t think of anyone better to bring this amazing story to life,” said Scott Stuber, head of Netflix’s film division.

“The book is powerful and moving, and Mark’s adaptation is beautifully written. At its core, this is a story about human nature, and one that I know our global audiences will fall in love with, just like I did when I read it.”
