George Clooney will make his Broadway debut as 1950s television news reporter and anchor Edward R. Murrow in a stage production of his film "Good Night, and Good Luck."
The production will debut in spring 2025 at one of 17 Broadway theaters owned by the Shubert Organization, according to a statement.
The 2005 movie, co-written by Clooney, 63, and Grant Heslov, starred David Strathairn as Murrow in the early 1950s, when he challenged the red-baiting antics of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis.
Clooney's work on the black-and-white film, including as its director, earned him nominations for the 78th Academy Awards in 2006.
For the play, which he also co-wrote with Heslov, Clooney will portray Murrow, according to the statement.
