The Hollywood Reporter announced today that Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett and George Clooney are teaming up for The Good German for Warner Bros. and director Steven Soderbergh.
The romantic thriller follows an American journalist who is sent to cover the Allied summit meeting that will carve out control of post-World War II Germany. However, the reporter is secretly there to search for a lost love, and when the body of an American soldier washes up in the Russian zone, he is plunged into a murder mystery.
Clooney is no stranger to Soderbergh as the two worked together in several ways from the 1998 flick Out of Sight to the recent Ocean’s Eleven and Twelve films. The two also partnered together in the production company Section Eight Productions, which is producing such upcoming films as the two Clooney starrers Syriana and Goodnight, and Good Luck.
