The oft delayed movie based on the "true" exploits of Chuck Barris, Gong Show Host/CIA agent, has finally gotten the green light. Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind follows the "fictional" exploits of Barris as he carries out CIA objectives under the guise of Gong Show chaperone.

George Clooney is set to direct and star as the CIA operative responsible for recruiting Barris. This will be Clooney's directorial debut.
