While there are few details, George Clooney has been confirmed to play the protagonist Eddie Mannix, who’s character is based upon a real life detective. This will be the fourth time Clooney and the brothers have teamed up, having previously worked together on O Brother Where Art Thou?, Intolerable Cruelty and Burn After Reading.
