Clooney gets cold feet over Snowman

George Clooney, the darling of the UK summer box office, has pulled out of a movie in which he was to play a musical snowman. Warner Bros. are now looking at John Travolta or Billy Bob Thornton to take the lead in Jack Frost, aka Frosty the Snowman, the story of a jazz musician and bad dad who dies but gets a shot at redemption as an earthly Snowman. Clooney has just confirmed for The Wild, Wild West with Men in Black director Barry Sonnenfeld and Will Smith as Artemus Gordon, a master of disguise.
