Ford impressed by Clooney

Harrison Ford wants to work under George Clooney's direction after being impressed with his Oscar-nominated movie Good Night, And Good Luck.

The Star Wars actor admits he rarely visits the cinema, but was stunned by Clooney's second directorial outing, about a TV news team confronting US Senator Joseph McCarthy during his Communist witchhunt in 1950s America.

Ford tells British film magazine Empire: "I did recently see Good Night, And Good Luck and really thought it was fantastic - a wonderful story to tell to our culture now.

"I'd like to work with him (Clooney) as a director."
