Hollywood star George Clooney is set to direct and act in "Good Morning, Midnight" adaptation for Netflix. Based on Lily Brooks-Dalton's novel, the narrative follows the parallel stories of Augustine (Clooney), a lonely scientist in the Arctic, as he races to make contact with the crew of the Aether spacecraft as they try to return home to Earth.

Mark L Smith has adapted the screenplay, reported Variety. Clooney will also produce via his Smokehouse Pictures banner with Grant Heslov, alongside Anonymous Content and Syndicate Entertainment. "Grant and I couldn't be more excited to be involved with this incredible project. Mark is a writer we've long admired and his script is haunting. We're thrilled to be working with our friends at Netflix as well," Clooney said in a statement.

"Having known and worked with George for over two decades, I can't think of anyone better to bring this amazing story to life. The book is powerful and moving, and Mark's adaptation is beautifully written. At its core, this is a story about human nature, and one that I know our global audiences will fall in love with, just like I did when I read it," said Scott Stuber, head of Netflix’s film division. The as-yet-untitled movie is set to begin production in October.
