George Clooney and his business partner Grant Heslov have signed on to produce the movie adaptation of Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play August: Osage County.
Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts will play mother and daughter in the drama, to be directed by John Wells.
Clooney and Heslov previously tasted success with a play-to-film adaptation - their Smokehouse Productions were behind last year's (11) The Ides of March.
