George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones, two of the silver screen’s most beautiful stars, are teaming up together for their latest celluloid project. The Ocean’s Eleven star has signed up for Intolerable Cruelty, the next offering from kooky independent filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen.
Meanwhile, the actress also known as Mrs Michael Douglas is a dead cert for the movie, with her agent, William Morris, said to be on the point of closing the deal.
Gorgeous George will play the role of a hotshot divorce lawyer who falls in love with the wife of one of his clients, whose fortune he manages to protect despite his client being caught in a minty clinch with another woman. The wife, played by Welsh valley girl Catherine, swears revenge and, while endeavouring to part the lawyer from his well-earned pile of money, falls for him.
Catherine is currently shooting the movie version of Chicago alongside Richard Gere and Renee Zellweger, who was recently romantically entangled with Mr Clooney. But once the project, being filmed on location in Toronto, is in the can, the curvaceous beauty will head back to the US to team up with the Coens and George.
The handsome ER actor is no stranger to the Coen brothers’ offbeat oeuvres, having starred in O Brother Where Art Thou. He even won a Best Comedy Actor Golden Globe this year for his performance while Catherine, although nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Traffic, eventually lost out to Kate Hudson’s sparkling performance in Almost Famous.
