The streaming service has announced that it will be adapting the 2016 bestseller from Lily Brooks-Dalton entitled Good Morning, Midnight.

Regarded as one of the best books of the year by Shelf Awareness and the Chicago Review of Books, Good Morning, Midnight is a post-apocalyptic tale that parellelly follows a scientist based in the arctic and the spacecraft crew with whom he is trying to make contact as they return to Earth.

George Clooney has signed on to the project — both in the capacity of director and the lead character, Augustine.

The double-Oscar winner will produce alongside his partner Grant Heslov, while The Revenant screenwriter Mark L. Smith has penned the script.

“Grant and I couldn’t be more excited to be involved with this incredible project,” said Clooney. “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.”

Production on the film is scheduled to begin in October.

The dapper film star is not only good at his craft, but is also a human rights activist with a particular interest in the Syrian civil war.

The Catch-22 star and his wife Amal are also good friends of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.

And so, with the media scrutiny the Duchess has been under — particularly as she prepares to give birth — George felt it was time to stand up for his friend.

“It’s a little unfair at times when… I’ve seen it when the press can turn on you for sort of ridiculous reasons and for almost nothing, and it seemed to me to be a little unjust since she hadn’t done anything except just happen to live her life,” he said on Good Morning Britain.

“She’s a really kind and smart and intelligent young woman, and they’re a really wonderful, loving couple. Most of it you can just shrug off and not pay attention to, but sometimes it’s unkind.”

It’s not the first time that George has come to Meghan’s defense.

In February, he told Australia’s Who magazine, “They’re just chasing Meghan Markle everywhere, she’s been pursued and vilified. She’s a woman who is seven months pregnant, and she has been pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that Diana was, and it’s history repeating itself. We’ve seen how that ends.”

Team Meghan has a good captain.

After years as the most prominent bachelor in Hollywood, no one thought that George Clooney would ever settle down. (Sure, he was married to actress Talia Balsam for a few years in the ’90s, but who even remembers that?!)

And then along came Amal.

The Oscar winner and the British lawyer have been married for 5 years, but originally met at George’s Lake Como home in 2013.

“It’s the wildest thing. A mutual friend of ours said, ‘Im stopping by and can I bring my friend?’ And I was like, ‘Of course.’ I got a call from my agent who called me and said, ‘II met this woman who’s coming to your house who you’re gonna marry,’” George revealed.

“The funniest thing was my mom and dad were visiting, so my parents were there, and we just talked and we stayed up all night talking and then, you know, I got her email address ’cause she was going to send me some pictures of my parents and then, we started writing and I didn’t know if she wanted to go out with me. I just thought, you know, we were buddies.”

The 57-year-old admits that he pursued his now wife — despite their first date almost not happening because Amal was taking legal action against the Muslim Brotherhood that day and didn’t know exactly when she would be done.

At least it all worked out in the end!

If you need proof, just ask his good friends, Brad Pitt, on whose car he placed the bumper sticker “small penis on board”; or Matt Damon whose trousers George had an eighth of an inch made smaller every few days to convince Matt that he was gaining weight.

Someone else who has now come forward, remarking on the Oscar winner’s rambunctious reputation, is Roseanne Barr.

The pair worked together on the first season of Roseanne in 1988 when George played Booker Brooks.

Whilst giving an interview on the Howard Stern Sirius XM Show ahead Roseanne’s revival, the lead actress revealed that the ABC network had sent the cast a chocolate bar in the shape of a number one when the show reached the top of the ratings.

Knowing that other shows had received better gifts to celebrate, George suggested “let’s go out, and I’ll throw it … and you hit it with a bat and then we’ll send the picture to the president of the network,” according to Miss Barr.
