Our beloved George Clooney is up to something strange. Apparently he is looking for actors to make up his cast for his new project, “Men Who Stare at Goats.” More photos of and video below.

Based on the book by the Guardian columnist Jon Ronson, “Goats” is set in Iraq and centers on Bob Wilton (McGregor), a desperate reporter who stumbles upon the story of a lifetime when he meets Lyn Cassady (Clooney), who claims to be a former secret U.S. military psychic soldier who was re¬activated post-9/11. Apparently, the movie offers glimpses into the supposedly real secret Army unit tasked with creating soldiers with paranormal powers.
Not only is Clooney serious about this project, but he already has big stars in negotiations! Ewan McGregor will play a reporter named Bob Wilton who stumbles onto the secret when he meets Clooney’s character who claims to be a psychic soldier. Oscar winner Kevin Spacey will be a former psychic soldier now running a prison camp in Iraq and Jeff Bridges will play Clooney’s mentor and the founder of the psychic program. Clooney, Grant Heslov and BBC Films are co-producing the movie and are hoping to start production in October.
With a story, title and cast like this you’re bound to hear more about “Men Who Stare at Goats.”
