The Coen Brothers are reportedly very controlling when it comes to directing the actors, much like Hitchcock was. They have everything they want in mind, and they'll tell the actors exactly how to say their lines and what gestures to make. It should be interesting to see how George Clooney does in that kind of highly disciplined environment.

I was an extra on the movie, "Oh Brother Where Art Thou", and I got to see how very professional George Clooney was. He was on the set for many hours and always had a fine performance and made sure that he did it right. From the looks of things, the movie is going to be great and very funny. And, George Clooney, will do a great job.
