George Clooney is in discussions with 20th Century Fox about directing 'Echo'.



The 57-year-old actor has yet to sign a contract with the film studio, but according to Deadline, an agreement is likely to be reached between both parties.



'Echo' tells the story of a drone specialist who has a psychological crisis, wondering whether his lover is the person she first appeared to be.



Clooney's last directorial role was the 2017 drama 'Suburbicon', which starred Matt Damon and Oscar Isaac.
