A 'Tourist' in DisguiseRumor has it George Clooney has picked up the film rights to Olen Steinhauer's latest novel, The Tourist. Also rumored is Clooney plans to play the book's main character, Milo Weaver, a jaded CIA black-ops agent (tourist) trying to balance family life with 3-D spy paranoia, lack of trust, and disillusionment.
Since Clooney has proven he knows a roller coaster film opportunity when he sees it (Michael Clayton comes to mind), it seems like a good idea to read the book and patiently await the film. Comparisons will be inevitable but Steinhauer's nuanced thriller should hold you over until it's time to buy your popcorn.
