Netflix’s moving film Jay Kelly, starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler, premiered at the New York Film Festival.
Biting cynicism is a hallmark of a Noah Baumbach movie. In the case of Jay Kelly, Baumbach tackles the cynicism of the film industry, or, more specifically, he puts a harsh spotlight on the nature of an A-list acting career that voraciously demands decades of oneβs life and self.
Actors David Oyelowo and DemiΓ‘n Bichir sat down with The Knockturnal to talk about their new upcoming film ‘The Midnight Sky’ starring and directed by George Clooney.
George Clooney with a Coen Brothers script is a formula for magic. However, what happens when he’s the director and not the star?
Paramount Pictures upcoming George Clooney-directed crime-comedy,Β SUBURBICON, hits theaters wide onΒ October 27, 2017.
An ode to post-war Hollywood, the Coen Brothers represent the Golden Age of Cinema in a way only they can. And it’s a damn good time.Β
He’s the man. I mean, who else would go up to someone and tell them that “No one will believe you” ? Who else will crash a game of kickball on Roosevelt Island?Β Who else will crash SXSW and serve drinks behind the bar? Who else will crash—
Ok we get the point. Bill Murray really wanted to be inΒ Wedding CrashersΒ but the part went to Will Ferrell instead. But nonetheless, only Bill Murray would be inΒ A Very Murray Christmas,Β a Netflix film set to release on December 4, 2015, which was written and directed by Sofia Coppola.
These are the kinds of movies that people can only dream of. The film will star a bunch of people– as themselves, with Murray playing himself as he worries that no one will show up for his Christmas party because of the snowstorm outside rampaging through New York City. Well, if the storm is anything like last year, I can tell you personally, Mr. Murray, that New Yorkers don’t care about curfews and they’ll show up nonetheless.
Anyhow, the comedy will feature George Clooney, Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Miley Cyrus, Phoenix, Michael Cera, Jason Schwartzman, Maya Rudolph, Chris Rock, Paul Shaffer, and more — all as themselves. Check out the newest trailer below, and hold your horses until December 6 rolls around.
I mean, if we already haveΒ aΒ GhostbustersΒ reboot with a whole female cast, why not have Sandra Bullock run her own casino heist?
Now we all loved the original. And I mean the original, with the Rat Pack of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. (in racist undertones) all robbing a casino. And of course, we liked the remake that George Clooney starred in and made with Brad Pitt and Matt Damon.
So obviously it’s time for the female rat pack to emerge. The film, which Clooney will produce, will have Gary Ross ofΒ The Hunger GamesΒ directing. Over a year in the works, the project is finally getting made, all with Olivia Milch (known forΒ Queen & Country)Β as the screenwriter, all when Clooney, Steven Soderbergh and Jerry Weintraub came together last fall. And while they had a mild setΒ back with Weintraub’s death earlier this summer, the film is still going on full speed ahead.
The all new female cast film is set to be released in 2017, and this still leaves up for question as to how close the script will be towards the 2001 Clooney film, or what ten other women will star in the film.
Their first film since Inside Llewyn Davis, the Coen Brothers appear to be going back to their special brand of comedy focusing on 1950’s Hollywood.
Actor and Omega brand ambassador, George Clooney, joined the Omega President, Mr. Stephen Urquhart, special guests: astronauts, Jim Lovell, Tom Stafford, Gene Cernan and key Houston celebrities and influencers to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission.
