George Clooney is in negotiations for the lead in the Alexander Payne-directed family drama "The Descendants" for Fox Searchlight.

The film centers on a wealthy landowner who takes his two daughters on a search for his wife's lover in the hopes of keeping his family together.

This would mark Payne’s first feature since 2004’s "Sideways." Shooting is scheduled to begin February in Hawaii.

The screenplay was written by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, which is based on Kaui Hart Hemmings' debut novel of the same name.

According to Variety, Payne, Jim Burke and Jim Taylor are producing through their Ad Hominem production company.
