1ST 'CATCH 22' PHOTOS
GEORGE CLOONEY WW2 SERIES
Another exclusive sneak peak into next year's productions we are getting this pre festive week are the first photos from new historical series CATCH 22 coming from George Clooney. Also starring Christopher Abbott, Kyle Chandler, Hugh Laurie as Major de Coverley), Giancarlo Giannini, Daniel David Stewart, Rafi Gavron, Austin Stowell, Graham Patrick Martin, Gerran Howell, Jon Rudnitsky, Kevin J. O’Connor, Pico Alexander, Tessa Ferrer, Lewis Pullman, Josh Bold, Jay Paulson and Julie Ann Emery, the six episode series will air sometime next year on Hulu!
THE STORY OF CATCH 22
based on the novel by Joseph Heller, follows the incomparable, artful dodger, Yossarian (Christopher Abbott), a US Air Force bombardier in World War II who is furious because thousands of peoplehe has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty. Hope we get a trailer soon!

Well, well - the two sexy TV doctors Cloonie and Laurie together in the Catch 22 war series! We're looking forward to their appearance.
ReplyDeleteThe phrase 'catch 22' is used a lot to describe a paradoxical situation, and the number 22 attracts attention as being a master number in Numerology.
I did not know that about number 22!
DeleteMan, I haven't seen Giancarlo Giannini in anything for YEARS now! Of course, I haven't been watching a lot of recent Italian films either, which probably explains it.
ReplyDeleteI thought he wasn't even alive.
DeleteThis Catch 22 sounds like a real pickle to be in! Jason will like this film, though I probably won't watch as I don't like Clooney.
ReplyDeleteit's tough maths for my poor lil' brain.
DeleteA new historical series? Always a pleasure, fingers crossed!
