George Clooney is adapting Joseph Heller's satirical 1961 novel Catch-22 for a six-part TV show, in which he is giving greater prominence to female roles. According to The Times, the 20th century tale has been criticised for it 'terrible misogyny' and its arguably demeaning depiction of women - the very few female characters are 'objectified and sexualised'. The 57-year-old will produce, star and direct the show and he and co-star Christopher Abbott, 33, grace the cover of Variety to promote the new project.

In their ‘code’, anyone who threw down their arms and surrendered wasn’t worthy of living nor worth the trouble to feed.
“Im still waiting for true telling of Huckleberry Finn.”
Never happen, too many “N” words.
Of course, film makers have always taken liberty with actual settings in movies. For example, the Deer Hunter was set in a western PA steel town. They drove up into the mountains to go hunting. However, they filmed the mountain scenes in the Canadian Rockies. They look a lot pettier than Alleghany Mountains
Clooney is a very old looking 57 year old.
He has not aged well. He needs to be airbrushed in his photos and films.
Modern “entertainment” desperately needs another preachy, condescending piece of garbage. I’ll be sure to check this one out.
Catch-22 is one of my all-time favorites.
You couldn’t pay me to watch what this putz does to bastardize Heller’s masterpiece.
