Yesterday, we told you about George Clooney and his nonstop effort to help those who have been victims of the earthquake over in Haiti. The Oscar winning actor will be teaming up with MTV Networks to broadcast a worldwide telethon called, “Hope For Haiti.” An official press release has been sent out and we’re passing on the news to you so you can watch and most importantly help.
We have all heard about the unfortunate events that have literally rocked the nation of Haiti. The list of Hollywood actors and musicians who are aiding in the relief efforts continue to grow, and George Clooney is making sure he does everything he can to get others involved. According to Eonline, the actor is using his name to wrangle some of the biggest talents in town to participate in a Haitian relief telethon.
Jason Reitman once again tackles comedy and drama with his latest film entitled, Up in the Air. The film stars Oscar winner George Clooney and features Twilight co-star Anna Kendrick as his naive young sidekick. Up in the Air is a refreshing look at a career driven man and his inability to connect with those around him. The film offers a humorous yet relevant take on how technology effects people’s ability to have healthy, normal relationships.

It’s been almost 40 year’s since the classic children’s book, Fantastic Mr. Fox hit shelves in America and the U.K. to the delight of kids everywhere. Author Roald Dahl told a simple story about a fox and his attempts to outwit and for lack of a better word “outfox” three of the richest men around. The story is brought to life on the silver screen by director Wes Anderson, using stop motion animation that literally makes you feel like you’re a kid again. His feature version is charming and stays true to the source material, while keeping it fresh for younger viewers.

Ready for a bit of dry humor with your war film? Actually, it’s quite hard to call Grant Heslov’s latest film The Men Who Stare At Goats starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, and Jeff Bridges a war film. It’s more of a film about the crazy Jedi-knights who may or may not really exist in the US military. With a film like this you know what you’re paying for, the title tells you everything you need to know. It’s a film that knows how to laugh at itself without losing any of the power behind it.

George Clooney is currently busy filming the Anton Corbijn directed feature, The American but he’s still making deals while in the middle of production. According to Variety, the actor is in negotiations to star in the film adaptation of the Kaui Hart Hemmings novel, The Descendants. The film will be a dramedy, which will show Clooney as an unconventional family man.
Earlier this spring, May to be exact, news broke that award winning director Martin Scorsese was planning to helm a biopic centering on the life of Frank Sinatra. With this announcement came several casting possibilities, and at the time Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Harry Connick Jr. were all mentioned for the role. Now, several reports are suggesting that George Clooney may also be in the running to play ‘old blue eyes.’
All of these actors are talented in their own right, but that doesn’t automatically make them perfect for this part. Out of Depp, DiCaprio, Connick, and Clooney who do you think should play Frank Sinatra in the Scorsese biopic?
A few weeks ago the London Film Festival began its first press conference of the festival with the Opening Film, Fantastic Mr Fox. On the panel was the writer/director, Wes Anderson and the stars, George Clooney, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Eric Anderson, Jarvis Cocker and Wallace Wolodarsky. What follows was a really funny press conference; Bill Murray was the standout, with some fantastic one-liners and rants. The only problem with the press conference was the fact that most of the questions were to George Clooney and half of them was about his personal life, which seem out of place, but George Clooney was on top form and dodged the gossip news bullets aimed at him (for those quotes check out our Why Press Conference Suck story). Hope you enjoy.
You get someone like George Clooney sitting in front of journalists and despite the integrity of the film and media outlets, certain journalists will use all their skills to try and pull pointless personal BS from the talent. At the London Film Festival’s press conference for Wes Anderson’s new animation The Fantastic Mr. Fox certain “journalists” just couldn’t stop asking Clooney about was his personal life. The problem with these “journalists” is that they are like fleas, once they start biting they just won’t stop until they get something they can manipulate into a cheesy headline.
