Actor George Clooney and writer Matt Charman are developing a limited Netflix series on the Watergate scandal that engulfed former President Richard Nixon.

Bridge of Spies writer Charman has teamed up with Clooney and his production company Smokehouse Pictures to develop the series for Netflix, according to Deadline.

The eight-episode series, titled Watergate, will reportedly focus on different individuals involved in the scandal, including former Attorney General John Mitchell and Nixon attorney John Ehrlichman.

Line Pennsylvania Avenue with “stocks” so the Deplorables can hurl garbage at the traitors before they go to prison.

George Clooney is another one I’d like to see Trump grab by the p***y and throw out of the country.

His best role was in The Descendants. Beau Bridges is in it too, it’s a good movie.

The good news: it will drain more money and time from failed Clooney and anyone looney enough to think this is an interesting topic in todays politics

Will Hillary do a cameo as herself as the Watergate lawyer who got fired for being unethical?

Didn't this assclown just lose million$ and millions with his last autistic artistic venture "Suburibicon"? The numbers were amazingly bad, something like less then $10K the opening weekend.

Indeed, Hollywood loves their socialists, statists, and sexual predictors, but they do NOT like poverty nor do they like the smell of us commoners.

Here is a link to all the box office data on George Clooney - actor, producer, director, and writer. Notably, for this "superstar:"

-In the 11 movies in which he's acted since the financial crisis, only one drew more than $100 million (Gravity - where the star was the special effects editor).
-Of his six directorial efforts, only one grossed more than $50 million (The Monuments of Men).
-Suburbicon grossed FIVE MILLION DOLLARS!!

George Clooney's move to Netflix from the studios seems to be a harbinger that he's following in the footsteps of those other great former kings and queens of the media - Olbermann, Glenn Beck, Katie Couric, and now Mee-again - toward this being his next venue.

Compared to what is going on right this moment, this is so lame.

Maybe they can get Bill Clinton to play Nixon as he is an experienced, impeached President.
