Most adorable and talented men from Hollywood will gather to work for the same movie.

 George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio will work for "Farragut North," a feature adaptation of an upcoming Broadway play loosely based on Howard Dean's 2004 presidential election campaign.

The idea of the movie goes like this: named after the Washington Metro station located near many lobbyists' offices, the play follows a young, idealistic communications director who works for an inspiring, though unorthodox, presidential candidate. During the campaign, his career is done in by more seasoned politicos who thrive on poisonous partisan politics, dirty tricks and back-stabbing.

Beau Willimon, the writer of the movie can be proud to work with these two titans of Hollywood. Willimon, who is adapting his own work, held readings of the play during the summer in which Jake Gyllenhaal participated. The play, which Mike Nichols is slated to direct, is set to open in fall 2008, just before the presidential election.
Clooney is in trouble with the staff of the hospital he was treated after the motorcycle accident, because they  had providing medical information about him to the media.

George Clooney is promoting his last movie "Michael Clayton", while DiCaprio is filming Ridley Scott's Iraq War thriller "Body of Lies."
