Disclaimer: I usually refrain from running speculative rumors on /Film but its a slow news day. And besides, Im not going to pass this off as news. Heck Im not even going to pass this off as a rumor. For now consider this story a fun What IF? /Film reader Jon B brought it to my attention that George Clooney was spotted preholidays in Hollywood having a business meeting with director Ridley Scott and Marvel Studios chairman David Maisel ( Paris Hilton was also in attendance but gossip mags have recently linked the heiress and Clooney so thats more likely personal than professional) . Marvel Studios has said that they are interesting in bringing a Dr. Strange movie to the big screen. Clooney looks a bit Strange doesnt he? Or might Ridley Scott might direct The Avengers movie? Or perhaps it was just a fun meeting between friends. We know this whole discussion is circumstantial and speculative at best but in the boring days of early January I find it a little fun to speculate. So lets pretend for just a minute that there is something more to this dinner meeting.
Truthfully, he has Syria, Michael Claytona and O Brother Where art Thou as good performances. Look at his IMDB stuff and he has way more misses than good performances or movies.
