They quote Clooney as saying, "I'm going to do a comedy with Joel and Ethan in around a year.  I really like working with them and I like doing comedy with them."

"They offered me a part in Suburbicon a long time ago, and since then decided they have other projects they want to work on," he told the site. "So I called them up and said 'How about me taking a spin at it?' Because it's a really interesting, really funny, very dark comedy." No other details on the project are known.

Clooney has collaborated with the Coens on O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Intolerable Cruelty. He is also attached to Hail, Caesar!.
