"Grant and I couldn’t be more excited to be involved with this incredible project. Mark is a writer we’ve long admired and his script is haunting. We’re thrilled to be working with our friends at Netflix as well," shared Clooney. Netflix will be the lucky recipient of the highly-anticipated film which continues to emphasize the platform's influence in the industry as of late.
