Actor-filmmaker George Clooney is in early talks to direct crime noir drama "Suburbicon".
If things work out, Clooney, 54, will work on a script by Joel and Ethan Coen, reported Deadline.
Little is known about the specific plot, but the movie will be made on the lines of Coens' breakout film "Blood Simple", a crime drama set in the 1950s.
"Suburbicon" is being set up at Sony's TriStar Pictures.
