This is the third time the 38-year-old actress will star opposite Clooney. They have previously worked in 1999's 'Three Kings' and 'The Descendants' in 2011, reported Deadline.
The cast for the mysterious sci-fi film, scripted by Damon Lindelof and Jeff Jensen, already comprises Hugh Laurie, Britt Robertson and Raffey Cassidy.
While details of the plot are being kept closely under wraps, it is known that Robertson, 23, has been cast as the lead, a schoolgirl with exceptional knowledge of technology who goes on a mission to reclaim her future.
After Lindelof quashed rumours the film would be an alien invasion movie, speculation is rife it will instead be based on the Tomorrowland area of the Magic Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World Florida - a vision of a future that never came to fruition.
