Clooney on a secret mission in Merseburg
BY UNDINE FREYBERG, 14.02.13
George Clooney
MERSEBURG / MZ. Black wool coat, jeans, dark gray woolen hat and a three-week beard. The styling was perfect, probably no one has recognized him.
Oscar winner George Clooney had traveled on Thursday with an eight-member team secretly and quietly to Merseburg to go for his film "The Monuments Men" in Scouting.
Piazza Duomo, the cathedral and the castle courtyard were photographed from all possible perspectives with small digital cameras. In the castle courtyard Clooney explained with very sonorous, deep voice, as he imagines that someone from the cathedral steps into the courtyard, and a little later he was standing on the steps of the altar in the Cathedral, in front of him his "disciple" and by the church window, a thick beam of light fell directly on the U.S. star. Great cinema.
Perhaps you will soon see the heartthrob so frequently in the Cathedral City - where his film, which he directed and played the main role, is actually shot in Merseyside. "But what we still can not confirm," said Eike Wolf, spokesman for the Babelsberg Film Studios, where Clooney has a few weeks ago, even an office from which he operates in East Germany. Clooney is allegedly. With his team still in search of the appropriate locations
The novel adaptation "The Monuments Men" is recover the way of a group of U.S. art experts to be entrusted, by the Nazis during the war, stolen art. Clooney, who is also the producer of the film, has still got some high profile actors on board: Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, Matt Damon and Daniel Craig, for example. James Bond in Merseyside? Not a bad idea, but so far it has not, although the filming already should start in early March. And which cities are actually in the race, so make Clooney and Co. a big secret.
But if it would be in Merseburg? "That would be great," gushed Domführerin Beate Tippelt. "Great for our cathedral, which has never been seen in a feature film, and of course for the region."
Only for a short stop at Café ben zi bena was next to the motif search i in Merseburg still time. Carola Jülich and Diana Oberbacher brought the film crew coffee and espresso. George took the way a cappuccino.
"The presence of Mr. Clooney seems to have it literally had a healing effect on my wife," Klaus Oberbacher, head of the Arts Foundation told ben zi bena, smiling the MZ. "In the morning, my wife had a cold yet strong, but since Mr. Clooney was there, she just radiates."

MERSEBURG/MZ. Schwarzer Wollmantel, Jeans, dunkelgraue Wollmütze und ein Drei-Wochen-Bart. Das Styling war perfekt, erkannt hat ihn vermutlich kaum jemand. Oscar-Preisträger George Clooney war am Donnerstag mit einem achtköpfigen Team heimlich, still und leise nach Merseburg gereist, um für seinen Film "The Monuments Men" auf Motivsuche zu gehen. Der Domplatz, der Dom und der Schlossinnenhof wurden aus allen möglichen Perspektiven mit kleinen Digitalkameras fotografiert. Im Schlossinnenhof erklärte Clooney mit sehr sonorer, tiefer Stimme, wie er sich vorstellt, dass jemand aus dem Dom in den Hof tritt, und wenig später stand er schon auf der Treppe vor dem Altar im Dom, vor ihm seine "Jünger" und durch die Kirchenfenster fiel ein dicker Lichtstrahl direkt auf den US-Star. Großes Kino.
Möglicherweise wird man den Frauenschwarm ja bald häufiger in der Domstadt sehen - falls sein Film, bei dem er Regie führt und die Hauptrolle spielt, tatsächlich in Merseburg gedreht wird. "Was wir aber immer noch nicht bestätigen können", sagte Eike Wolf, Sprecher des Filmstudios Babelsberg, wo Clooney seit einigen Wochen sogar ein eigenes Büro hat, von dem aus er in Ostdeutschland agiert. Angeblich sei Clooney mit seinem Team noch immer auf der Suche nach den passenden Drehorten.
Die Roman-Verfilmung "The Monuments Men" handelt übrigens von einer Gruppe US-amerikanischer Kunstexperten, die beauftragt werden, von Nazis während des Kriegs gestohlene Kunstwerke wiederzubeschaffen. Clooney, der auch der Produzent des Films ist, hat noch einige hochkarätige Schauspieler ins Boot geholt: Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, Matt Damon und Daniel Craig zum Beispiel. James Bond in Merseburg? Auch keine schlechte Vorstellung, aber soweit ist es noch nicht, obwohl die Dreharbeiten ja schon Anfang März starten sollen. Und welche Städte tatsächlich im Rennen sind, darum machen Clooney und Co. ein großes Geheimnis.
Aber wenn es Merseburg werden würde? "Das wäre toll", schwärmte Domführerin Beate Tippelt. "Toll für unseren Dom, der noch nie in einem Spielfilm zu sehen war und natürlich für die Region."
Nur für einen kurzen Stopp im Café ben zi bena war neben der Motivsuche in Merseburg noch Zeit. Carola Jülich und Diana Oberbacher brachten dem Film-Team Kaffee und Espresso. George nahm übrigens einen Cappuccino. "Die Anwesenheit von Herrn Clooney scheint dabei regelrecht eine heilende Wirkung auf meine Frau gehabt zu haben", erzählte Klaus Oberbacher, Chef der Kunststiftung ben zi bena, lächelnd der MZ. "Am Morgen war meine Frau noch stark erkältet, aber seit Herr Clooney da war, strahlt sie nur noch."

disappeared, and many many treasures which were centuries old. It was Capt. Walter Hancock, a revered sculptor in the US, and now with the US First Army as they advanced, who was on the spot for the Monuments Men.
So many threads to this story, and very very exciting
