Clooney Trips Out Over Tourist

George Clooney signs on to star in the spy thriller The Tourist, an adaptation of Olen Steinhauer's novel

He just sent Sarah Larson packing—now it's George Clooney's turn to hit the road.

The Oscar winner has signed on to star in the contemporary spy thriller The Tourist, a big-screen adaptation of the best-selling Olen Steinhauer novel.

According to Variety, Clooney will also produce the Warner Bros. flick, in which he stars as a spy who is wrongly accused of murder and works to reveal the conspiracy working against him.

That'll teach Matt Damon to leave old scripts lying around Clooney's pad.
