George Clooney to Star in Greatest Movie Ever Made

Mon., Aug. 31, 2009 9:30 PM PDT by Erik Pedersen

OK, we'll wait until we actually see The Men Who Stare at Goats before we make our final decision on its place in film history, but this trailer makes us want to see this movie right now.

George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey and—thank you!—Jeff Bridges in full Lebowski-esque glory unite for a based-on-a-true story tale about a secret government project to create psychic soldiers who can kill with their minds—even as some just have trouble walking through walls.

Although there's probably darker underpinnings to the film, any clip that has Clooney announcing that he's a Jedi warrior to the guy who played Obi-Wan Kenobi is all right by us. Doing it to the strains of Boston's "More Than a Feeling" doesn't hurt, either.

What say you—will you see this? Or do you think we are under the control of Clooney's moustache?

Ewan's Cancer Scare

Holy (cancerous) moly!

Ewan McGregor told the BBC Breakfast show that he is just "fine" after having a cancerous mole, and several benign ones, removed from underneath his right peeper.

The 37-year-old star said the surgery was "not that big of a deal...I went to see a specialist who thought they were better to be removed, and indeed he was correct."

The brogued one, who made the medical disclosure while promoting his new erotic thriller Deception, went on to blame the cancer scare on his pale Scottish skin and his prolonged exposure to the sun—guess the long way round wasn't necessarily the best one.

While his moneymaking visage may now be minus a couple of pesky moles, his sarcasm, at least, has remained intact.

"It was great fun having skin cancer," he said. "It was great. I really enjoyed it."
