George Clooney to direct and star in ‘Good Morning, Midnight’ for Netflix

George Clooney has signed on to direct and star in “Good Morning, Midnight” for Netflix. It will be his first project with the streaming service.

Clooney and Smokehouse Pictures’ Grant Heslov will produce the adaptation of Lily Brooks-Dalton’s novel, “which follows a lonely scientist in the Arctic, as he races to make contact with the crew of a spacecraft as they try to return home to Earth,” according to a description from Netflix.

“Grant and I couldn’t be more excited to be involved with this incredible project,” Clooney told Variety. “Mark is a writer we’ve long admired and his script is haunting. We’re thrilled to be working with our friends at Netflix as well.”

The story is a sci-fi thriller, and was named one of the best books of 2017 by the Chicago Review of Books. Clooney will play the lead scientist. Scott Stuber, head of Netflix’s film division, said: “Having known and worked with George for over two decades, I can’t think of anyone better to bring this amazing story to life. The book is powerful and moving, and Mark’s adaptation is beautifully written. At its core, this is a story about human nature, and one that I know our global audiences will fall in love with, just like I did when I read it.”

Clooney recently executive produced, appeared in, and directed a few episodes of Hulu’s “Catch-22.” The film, which does not yet have a title, will begin production in October.

Three Weeks Zero Covid Red Zone, Two Regions Still Orange

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia -- Data belonging to the Covid-19 Handling Task Force (Satgas) as of October 3, which was just released today, Wednesday (6/10) via the https://Covid19.go.id/peta-risiko page, recorded zero red zone in Indonesia for three consecutive weeks.

Meanwhile, the orange zone or areas with a moderate risk of Covid-19 transmission only left two areas in the past week. They are East Aceh District, Aceh and Bulungan District, North Kalimantan. The orange zone has decreased after the previous week, which amounted to 11 districts/cities.

The Task Force also noted that the yellow zone or areas with a low risk of Covid-19 transmission had increased to 508 regions, compared to last week's data which recorded 500 districts/cities included in the yellow zone. All regencies/cities in Indonesia, from Java to Papua, are mostly in the yellow zone category.

For the green zone with the criteria for an area that did not experience additional cases, the Task Force noted the addition of one regency/city in this zoning category, namely Tual City in Maluku. So that there are four regions that have entered the green zone in the past week.

The other three are Arfak Mountains Regency and South Manokwari Regency in West Papua, and Intan Jaya Regency in Papua.

The Task Force has no longer recorded a green zone or is not affected by Covid-19, because one area that was reported not to have been affected by the corona virus until last July, namely the Dogiyai Regency in Papua, is now in the yellow zone category.

The regional risk zoning map is calculated based on public health indicators using scoring and weighting. The indicators used are indicators of epidemiology, public health surveillance, and health services.

The corona virus pandemic in Indonesia has resulted in as many as 4,221,610 people being infected since the first finding of cases was announced on March 2, 2020. Of the millions of cases, 4,049,449 people have recovered, 29,823 are undergoing treatment in hospital and self-isolation, while 142,338 others have died.

The Task Force said that the number of daily additions to Covid-19 cases in Indonesia showed a slowing graph over the past 11 weeks. This condition has resulted in a number of hospitals in the region claiming that they are no longer treating Covid-19 patients due to zero cases.

Nevertheless, the government and a number of epidemiologists have warned the public to remain alert to the potential third wave of Covid-19 ahead of the Christmas and New Year holidays. Especially in the midst of the threat of new variants of the corona virus that continue to mutate and give various effects and tend to be more severe.
