Talk about a double whammy! George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones are teaming up for 'Intolerable Cruelty,' a modern-day dark romantic comedy from the Coen Brothers
'Intolerable Cruelty' is the story of an incredibly successful L.A. divorce attorney, Miles Massey (Clooney), who is seeking new challenges. When he meets the oft-divorced Marilyn Rexroth (Zeta-Jones), a tough-as-nails woman pursuing financial independence through "serial matrimony," the two square off in the mother-of-all battles of the sexes.
'Intolerable Cruelty' marks Clooney's second collaboration with acclaimed filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen after 2000's 'O Brother Where Art Thou,' which garnered a Golden Globe award for the former "ER" actor. The new film also features Geoffrey Rush ('Pirates of the Caribbean'), Cedric The Entertainer ('Barbershop') and Billy Bob Thorton, who headlined the Coen Bros. last film, 'The Man Who Wasn't There.'
