'GENIUS' SEASON 2 TRAILER WITH ANTONIO BANDERAS AS PABLO PICASSO! GEORGE CLOONEY TO LEAD HULU'S WW2 EPIC SERIES 'CATCH 22'

  GEORGE CLOONEY TO

LEAD 'CATCH 22' WW2 SERIES

It will be a six episode mini series

Two period set series for you today. 'Deadline' reports that George Clooney will topline Hulu's new WW2 series CATCH 22 based on Joseph Heller's book. Set in Italy during World War II, it is the story of the incomparable, artful dodger Yossarian, a bombardier for the U.S. Air Force, which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. If Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid the perilous missions he’s assigned, he’ll be in violation of CATCH 22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specified that people who were crazy were not obliged to fly missions, but anyone who applied to stop flying was showing a rational concern for his safety and was, therefore, sane and had to fly.
