George Clooney has taken on another project that made news at Cannes. Focus Features has set Clooney to star in A clooney_george_02Very Private Gentleman, an adaptation of the Martin Booth novel to be directed by Anton Corbijn.

Rowan Joffe is scripting the film that begins shooting in Italy this fall.

Variety reports that story focuses on Clooney who plays an assassin who hides out in an idyllic Italian town before carrying out a final assignment. He resists his usual aversion to human interaction, and his friendships and romantic entanglements complicate his mission.
