George Clooney: “Steve Bannon Is A Failed F***ing Screenwriter”

George Clooney, speaking to reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote his new film Suburbicon, went off on former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.

Via EW:

“Steve Bannon is a failed f—ing screenwriter, and if you’ve ever read [his] screenplay, it’s unbelievable. Now, if he’d somehow managed miraculously to get that thing produced, he’d still be in Hollywood, still making movies and licking my ass to get me to do one of his stupid-ass screenplays.”

“You know, they say I’m out of touch. You want to call me a Hollywood liberal? Come at me. I sold ladies shoes, I sold insurance door to door, I worked at an all-night liquor store, I cut tobacco for a living. I can change the fan belt on my car. I grew up in that world in Kentucky. I know every bit of that world, and I know my friends and what they believe. And I know this is not a moment in our history that we’ll look back and be proud of. So if I’m not standing on the side I believe to be right, I’d be ashamed.”

Trailer: “Hail, Caesar!” Starring George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum

This looks like classic Coen Brothers.

AND we get a singing, dancing Channing Tatum. What else could you want?

George Clooney is engaged

One of Hollywood’s most famous bachelors is off the market!

People.com is reporting that the the Oscar winner, 52, is engaged to British human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, 36, whom he began dating last fall. They’ve been spotted together in London, New York, Tanzania and the Seychelles.

Apparently it was hard not to notice the giant diamond on Alamuddin’s left ring finger when the two met Cindy Crawford and husband Rande Gerber for dinner Thursday in Malibu, Calif.

Born in Beirut, Alamuddin studied at Oxford and NYU and is fluent in three languages.

Sandra Bullock/George Clooney “Gravity” breaks $100 million world-wide in first week

Not only setting an October record this past weekend at the U.S. box office, “Gravity” crossed the $100 million mark globally on Tuesday.

Directed by Alfonso Cuaron, the popular space drama earned an additional $6.6 million Tuesday in the U.S.– almost unheard of for midweek in October—bringing its domestic total to $68.4 million.

“Gravity’s” overseas take currently stands at $35.8 million.

Apparently, much of the weekend ticket sales (80%) were sold for the 3D version. Usually not my thing, but I’m guessing if that’s what’s driving this puppy, I should see it the way everyone else is…

The film’s $55.6 million launch over the weekend is apparently a career best for stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. The previous October record holder was “Paranormal Acitvity 3” with $52.6 million in 2011.
