The phone hacking scandal hasn't exactly been the sexiest story for Americans, but that's all going to change now that George Clooney is directing a movie about it.
Variety reports that Clooney is set to helm an adaptation of "Hack Attack," the book about the whole Murdoch mess by Guardian reporter Nick Davies, who broke the original hacking scandal wide open.
There's no word yet on which crusty acting veteran will play Rupert Murdoch himself. (Anthony Hopkins, maybe?)
Clooney is a very appropriate choice — after all, he was last seen shaming another British tabloid, the Daily Mail.
