Video George Clooney Seeks Truth in Journalism in New Trailer for Broadway's Good Night, and Good Luck

Co-written by Clooney and Grant Heslov from the 2005 film, David Cromer will direct the new play later this season.

George Clooney is teasing his upcoming Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck in a new trailer. Watch above.

Adapted from the 2005 film, the play will begin previews March 12, 2025, at the Winter Garden Theatre ahead of an April 3 opening night. Clooney and Grant Heslov have penned the script from their 2005 screenplay, and Clooney will star as Edward R. Murrow. David Cromer will be at the helm.

A work of historical drama, Good Night, and Good Luck centers on a clash between famed journalist Murrow and infamous U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy, of anti-communist HUAC fame. The title comes from Murrow's broadcast sign-off. Clooney starred on screen as Murrow's co-producer, Fred W. Friendly, and will lead the stage version as Edward R. Murrow, the role played by David Strathairn on screen. Clooney also directed the original film.

“Edward R. Murrow operated from a kind of moral clarity that feels vanishingly rare in today’s media landscape," said Cromer in an earlier statement. "There was an immediacy in those early live television broadcasts that today can only be effectively captured on stage, in front of a live audience."

Tickets are currently available through a fan pre-sale with registration at GoodNightGoodLuckBroadway.com. General sales begin November 15 at 4 PM ET.
