NEW YORK, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- George Clooney says the success of his new drama "Good Night, And Good Luck" doesn't mean he will only make serious movies in the future.
The "O, Brother Where Art Thou?" star co-wrote, directed and acts in the critically acclaimed "Good Night, And Good Luck," a black and white film that chronicles the time in the 1950s when broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow took on Sen. Joseph McCarthy and his questionable tactics for exposing alleged communists in the United States.
Despite the praise he is winning for this dramatic project, Clooney told reporters in New York recently that he plans to continue alternating his more serious projects with lighter ones.
"I like those frothy things," he declared. "Those are the things that bought me a nice house in Italy. If my sellout--like Murrow had to do in 'Person to Person'--is 'Ocean's 11,' I'm doing OK. But if it's 'Batman & Robin,' I'm in a little trouble."
