Deadline reports that the pair, along with Cate Blanchett and John Goodman, will star in the Clooney-directed period drama.   Clooney will also co-star in The Monuments Men, which follows a group of art historians and curators who helped to recover thousands of stolen artworks from the Nazis, during the final days of their reign.  Based on Robert M Edsel&amp;#039;s book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History, the film will reportedly focus on the 11 months between D-Day and V-E Day. As was previously reported, The Artist star Jean Dujardin will take a supporting role in the film.  Production is due to begin in March next year.
