George Clooney will produce and possibly star in the serial-killer thriller "The Monster of Florence" for Fox 2000.
According to Variety, Bruce Cohen, Dan Jinks and Clooney's Smoke House partner Grant Heslov are producing.
The project was picked up in turnaround from MGM, which optioned the book by Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi as a starring vehicle in 2008 for Tom Cruise when he was running United Artists.
"Florence" details eight double homicides believed to have been committed by one man between 1968 and 1985 in Florence.
Christopher McQuarrie and Nathan Alexander will adapt the screenplay.
Clooney will be seen in Fox Searchlight's upcoming comedy "The Descendants" and will direct and star in "The Ides of March," an adaptation of the Broadway play "Farragut North." He recently signed on to star opposite Sandra Bullock in Alfonso Cuaron's 3D space thriller "Gravity" for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.
