George Clooney's 'nerve-racking' task of bringing Suburbicon to life with the Coen brothers

Whether George Clooney is acting, directing or producing a new project, he's always looking in different directions, playing with different genres and taking on something that, as he says, "is worth fighting for." 

His latest film, Suburbicon (out Friday, Oct. 27) is a trifecta of sorts, with Clooney directing, producing and co-writing the script, which started as a Coen brothers project. It stars Matt Damon, Julianne Moore, Oscar Isaac and screened at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. 

Today, Clooney joins Tom Power to discuss Suburbicon, the mob mentality that's portrayed in the film, and his thoughts on the Harvey Weinstein scandal, something that Clooney calls "a watershed moment" that he hopes will inspire changes, especially when it comes to empowering and believing women who have been harassed or assaulted.
