George Clooney returns to television after 20 years with adaptation of Joseph Heller’s “Catch-22”
"I thought it was a fun way to tell this story. It's hard to tell this story as complex as it is in a two-hour movie," Clooney says at the series premiere in Los Angeles.
The Oscar winner, known for films like "Syriana", "Gravity" and "The Monuments Men", also served as executive producer and directed two episodes of the Hulu series set during World War II about a member of a US bomber squadron fighting the higher-ups in the military bureaucracy. "The Sinner" actor Christopher Abbott stars as Yossarian while "The Wolf of Wall Street" actor Kyle Chandler plays his commander, Colonel Cathcart. "It's a heightened piece, it's satirical, it's dramatic, it's harrowing, it's very funny," Abbott said.
