I nominated your post for a BoB award where the top prize is $1,000 good luck! I personally think Clooney would be a great choice, well at least 50x better than Affleck which does not mean much.

That of Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell. Not sure if the video games are based on any of Clancy's books, but I could very well see him as the cynical, aging tactical spy.

That would be awesome! I could see Clooney fitting nicely into the pantheon of Spy thrillers alongside Bourne, Bond and Harrison/Baldwin/Affleck's Ryan flicks. Get Soderbergh to produce the fuckers and it's a wrap! @Ian

And you know what I'd say it'd be worth turning the whole project over to him. He could direct and star. If nothing else it might be a fresh take. Maybe set it in the 80's or something, make it kind of retro. I think it could certainly work. And you know what I’d say it’d be worth turning the whole project over to him. He could direct and star.
