The Hollywood heart-throb made a successful transfer from TV to the big screen when he landed the part of charming bank robber Jack Foley, opposite Jennifer Lopez, in the 1998 thriller.
The film was based on the 1996 book of the same name by Elmore Leonard, the writer behind Get Shorty and Rum Punch, which was adapted as Quentin Tarantino’s 1997 movie Jackie Brown.
The author released a sequel to his original book, Road Dogs, last year (10) and he has sent a copy to Clooney in the hope the actor will bring the character back to the big screen.
Leonard tells Britain’s Daily Mail, “Clooney is one of the few actors who can deliver the words exactly the way that I heard them when I wrote them. I’ve sent the new book to George. The role is the same guy as Out Of Sight. I don’t know if he’s read it yet though.”
