George Clooney brought his Broadway hit Good Night, and Good Luck to screen in just two weeks.

The Hollywood superstar directed, co-wrote and starred in the original 2005 film - about the conflict between TV journalist Edward R. Murrow and U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy - and he brought the movie to the stage earlier this year with a successful run on Broadway with Clooney playing the lead role of the veteran reporter.
