Bradley Cooper, the screen idol from Rydal with the laser-blue eyes, has signed a two-year development deal with Warner Bros.

Cooper, 37, who was named People magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive' in November, will give the film giant first-look at any movies created by his production company, 22 & Indiana, according to Variety. Cooper's company name appears to be an allusion to the intersection in North Philadelphia where his father grew up.

"We're very happy to take our relationship with Bradley to the next level," said Warners chief Jeff Robinov in a statement. "He's a proven, multi-talented star, and we expect this deal to see him emerge in a whole new light as a creative force."

Cooper's best known for his roles in the 'Hangover' and 'Hangover II' comedies and is returning for a third installment, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The Germantown Academy grad also starred in Limitless, The A-Team, and Wedding Crashers.
