George Clooney Can’t Do More Superhero Movies Because He ‘F—ked It Up So Bad’ With ‘Batman & Robin’

Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentChiara Bellosi, whose first work, “Ordinary Justice,” launched from Berlin’s Generation 14plus section in 2020, is back with “Swing Ride” (“Calcinculo”) about an overweight 15-year-old named Benedetta pining for attention in an Italian province where she falls in love with the skinny non-binary Amanda.A key difference between the two films is that while “Ordinary Justice,” which examined the lives of two families on opposite sides of a murder case, originated from a deeply researched screenplay that Bellosi wrote, “Swing Ride” — premiering in Panorama on Feb. 13 — stems from a prizewinning script proposed to her by Carlo Cresto Dina, her producer, who also discovered Alice Rohrwacher (“Happy as Lazzaro”) and is known for nurturing the cream of Italy’s new cinematic crop.   “It’s a very different process; it was the first time that I had to start from a world that didn’t germinate from me,” said Bellosi about working from the script penned by Maria Teresa Venditti and Luca De Bei that won Italy’s prestigious Solinas prize in 2018.It was like moving into a new house that she had to make her own, she said.“I worked with the writers; I wanted to make a few tweaks and we did that together,” she added, noting that initially “it was a leap into the void.” But directing from their screenplay actually ended up giving her “more freedom” than her previous pic because “the container is already there; but you can go pretty wild with the rest.”This freedom also made it more fun.

The couple went all out on Sunday, October 10 for their arrival at the London Film Festival premiere of the actor and director’s upcoming film, The Tender Bar.

George Clooney has officially ruled out a pivot from show business to politics. The 60-year-old actor and director noted in an interview with BBC Andre Marr that, while he's engaged in politics, he is hoping to reduce his workload rather than increase it with a foray into running for office.  Clooney, a long-time supporter of President Joe Biden, described America as a country that is still recovering from the damage caused by Donald Trump.

The Tender Bar, the latest film George directed, starring Ben Affleck. is always stunning us with her looks, from workwear to the red carpet, and she went all out for this event. Amal wore a creamy white, fitted strapless gown covered in sequins with rouche detailing in the bodice, paired with white satin pointed-toe heels.

Not all superheros wear capes. In fact, George Clooney prefers a well tailored tuxedo when swooping in to save Amal Clooney from a red carpet wardrobe malfunction. 

George and Amal Clooney only had eyes for one another on Sunday at the London premiere of at the 65th Annual BFI London Film Festival.The spouses couldn't keep their hands off one another on the red carpet at The Royal Festival Hall while promoting the upcoming film, which George directed and produced and which stars Ben Affleck, Lily Rabe and Christopher Lloyd.

Amal Clooney has stepped out on the red carpet for a rare appearance with husband George Clooney, 60, in London. The couple were all smiles as they attended a screening of his upcoming film The Tender Bar at the London Film Festival. The acclaimed lawyer looked glamorous in a strapless, sequin gown in a gorgeous off-white shade. She paired the floor length dress with a pair of cream pointy toe heels, and silver drop earrings as she swept her raven tresses to one side in sophisticated curls.

As a director George Clooney’s filmography has veered through different genres (most recently from the frigid edges of earth into outer space in the big scale epic The Midnight Sky) but I don’t think he has ever hit us directly in the heart quite the way his latest, The Tender Bar does. The only special effect used in this exceptional and universally recognizable story is simply family.

George Clooney is opening up about political aspirations.

George Clooney continues to maintain he has no interest in running for political office, and explained why in a new interview with BBC’s Andre Marr, promoting his latest movie “The Tender Bar”.
