- THE MONUMENTS MEN
Well it looks like George Clooney is really setting up one
hell of an impressive cast for his next film, The Monuments Men as Matt Damon
is the latest name said to be in talks to join the all-star cast Deadline
reports.
Damon would join a cast that includes Daniel Craig, Bill Murray, Cate
Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, John Goodman, Hugh Bonneville, Bob Balaban and
Clooney himself.
Adapted by Clooney and his long-time partner Grant Heslov from
Robert M. Edsel's book "The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves,
and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History," the drama takes place during
the final days of Nazi Germany as Adolf Hitler and the Nazis try to cover their
tracks by destroying all the artwork they had stolen during their rise to
power, as a group of art historians and museum curators try to rescue those
works of art.
Clooney will start shooting The Monuments Men on March 1 in
Europe, co-producing with Heslov for Smokehouse with much of the same crew from
Ben Affleck's Argo, which they produced, including composer Alexadre Desplat.
