George Clooney has his sights trained on Kate Winslet to star as his love interest in post-WWII thriller The Good German, reports Ananova. Clooney’s third collaboration with Steven Soderbergh, after Out of Sight and his current project Ocean’s Eleven, The Good German is based on an unpublished novel by Joseph Kanon. Set soon after the war, Clooney will star as a journalist returning to Berlin to track down the woman he left behind. Things never being as straightforward as they sound, his quest for love goes awry and leads him into the middle of a murder mystery. "The role they have in mind is perfect for an English rose figure and she fits the bill in every way ,” an insider told Ananova. "George saw her in Titanic and then in Hideous Kinky and thought, 'There is nobody else'. Soderbergh agrees."
