George Clooney will be hard to miss at this year's London Film Festival, where three movies in which the Hollywood star appears will be screened.

The 48-year-old's voice can be heard in Fantastic Mr Fox, an animated version of the Roald Dahl novel that launches the two-week event on 14 October.

He will also be seen in the flesh in military satire The Men Who Stare at Goats and the comedy Up in the Air.

The actor is expected to attend the festival, which runs until 29 October.

Meryl Streep and Bill Murray, who also voice characters in Wes Anderson's film, are expected at the Fantastic Mr Fox premiere too.

Clooney will also attend the Men Who Stare at Goats screening, which will take place the following night.

As previously announced, the festival will close with Nowhere Boy - a drama about the early life of Beatle John Lennon that marks the feature debut of British artist Sam Taylor-Wood.

The full festival programme was unveiled on Wednesday at a press launch in central London.

'Strong and varied'

New films from Steven Soderbergh, Ang Lee and Joel and Ethan Coen are among the 146 UK premieres featured in the line-up.

The Liverpool-born star, recently seen on the BBC's Doctor Who, also appears in Nowhere Boy alongside Kristin Scott Thomas and Anne-Marie Duff.

The 45-year-old said Taylor-Wood's film - which depicts Lennon as a 15-year-old boy - would show "a very different side" to the Fab Four icon.
