George Clooney to star in film about Al- Qaeda
According to Star Pulse, George Clooney is reportedly set to star in a forthcoming movie about Islamic terrorist group Al-Qaeda.
Clooney is said to be eager to appear in The Challenge - after his production company, Smokehouse, bought the rights to the book. In the novel, journalist Jonathan Mahler recounts the tale of Guantanamo Bay inmate Salim Hamdan, who worked as a personal driver and bodyguard for Al-Qaeda associate Osama bin Laden.
According to reports, Clooney will play the role of Charles Swift, a U.S. Navy officer who helped bring Hamdan's case to the Supreme Court and won a pre-trial decision to ensure that even terrorists are covered by the Geneva Convention - a series of treaties which protects the human rights of prisoners of war.
Clooney is planning to spend an estimated $30 million on the project.
