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.
