George Clooney and producing partner Grant Heslov are set to turn acclaimed Netflix doco “The White Helmets” into a movie.
The Smokehouse Pictures boys want to tell, via narrative structure and, no doubt, star power, the story of the Syrian Civil Defense, a group of unarmed, politically neutral local volunteers who rush in when the Russian-backed Assad regime rains fire from the skies in its ongoing battle against rebel forces.
Obviously very early days yet – so no word if Clooney will have a role – as there’s nobody set to script the feature yet.
