Dutch rock photographer Anton Corbijn seemed to like his first taste at directing feature films because he's at it again this time with a big name star, George Clooney. "The American" looks like a stylish spy movie, so maybe it is his big step into transforming himself yet again.

Corbijn was better known as a photographer for a decade of music acts including U2, David Bowie, Bjork, REM, and Simple Minds. He later turned to directing videos (you can get a collection produced under the same Director's Label series that distributes DVDs from Spike Jonez and Chris Cunningham.) His work directing videos then led him to "Control", a film about the rise of Joy Division.
