Denzel Washington was apparently offered to take the role of Michael Clayton in "Michael Clayton". Despite admitting that the Oscar-nominated flick had "the best material," Washington shared that working with first-time director Tony Gilroy made him hesitant.

The movie earned seven Oscar nominations, including Best Supporting Actor for George Clooney. Meanwhile, Gilroy went on to write and direct "Duplicity" and "The Bourne Legacy" as well as writing "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story".
