VENICE - It was not very talkative during the press conference officer (only concession to reporters on the red carpet: "getting engaged?'ll think about it ...") to make room for Sandra Bullock, the true protagonist of Gravity, the film by Alfonso Cuaron who opened yesterday evening, the 70th edition of the Venice Film Festival in Venice. But now, in the garden of Cipriani, with a glass of champagne in hand ("Bellini too many and too much tequila last night, not a good combination"), surrounded by a group of friends, the film's director and the heads of Warner Brothers George Clooney is having fun, chat, relax. Kids with Sandra Bullock, old friend, who in his arms the little adopted son Loui, of three years.


Clooney, who do you think of this edition of the show?
"It's nice, I do not have a lot of responsibility, are an actor, I love this group, Alfonso, his son, Sandra, there are tensions.'s The 70th anniversary, I like it here, the film is beautiful, I can have fun and just . Alfonso and Warner When they asked me what I thought of making the film premiere in Venice I immediately said that it seemed like a good idea. If anything, I thought it was an unusual choice as the opening film, it is curious to see the entire audience with 3D glasses in the Great Hall, do not you think? The opening night is tough, because there are politicians, the jury .. but it seems that everyone enjoys the film. "

Looks like you're the artist, who has scored the highest number of films opening in Venice.
"I had no idea, I swear I had nothing to do with the choice."

It is true that she has rewritten the parties?
"We had trouble figuring out how to tie certain emotions. Has been a difficult film to make, you could not change the jokes, if you changed a word or two seconds longer put yourself there to say one thing sballavi everything. When we got back to redo the scenes during the assembly of the lines I have suggested that collegassero death to the daughter of Sandra's character, not me. "

Do you think she would be a good astronaut?
"Yes, I think that'd be fine in a spacesuit. Did not have to suffer from panic attacks or claustrophobia.'s Never been in one of those capsules? It's madness! Go to the Smithsonian Museum and see the capsule in which they went to the moon and you think, what you infilerebbe crazy in that thing to go to the moon and back?'s like getting on a Chevy 1957 and drive it to 700,000 km! But it's cool. "

What did you like the story?
"The idea that the audience is in front of 2 people alone, but in a story that is still interesting. Generally, if a script does not catch me in the first 15 pages is over, but with this you want to keep reading to see what happens. "

His character is generous to the end. We identified himself?
"I had nothing bad to do! I arrived, I was cute, and I die, a fantastic role for me. Regard to the generosity of character, I leave you to judge ..."

What does that say of Monument Men, it is mounting at his home on Lake Como?
"I literally finished yesterday morning to mount it, now we have to start the test, the sound in Los Angeles and New York, then we go to London to record the soundtrack which I have entrusted to Alexander Desplat. I put it in a small part in film, is this funny character who seems Ratatouille, with his big nose and ears. "

If someone told her to make a film about Berlusconi, who would it be?
"That anyone who does will have to wait until he is dead."

He just made ​​another one of his bike rides for the Alps How did it go?
"It was great, I was with one of my best friends, we went through Switzerland to the summit of Mont Blanc then we riscesi to Lake Maggiore. Gods landscapes of incredible beauty. And as you go from Switzerland to Italy the roads are becoming more disgusting and the food gets better. "

The people will leave you alone when doing these tours?
"No, I will flank while I go to 160 per hour, and they sit you, filming you, you scream ... a madness."

You might be wearing a helmet with the visor.
"I do not like, and is not for vanity, it hurts your neck when you wear it for a long time. And then it would not be fun, sweat and feel the wind in your face."

Ha seguito le polemiche sul web per la scelta di Ben Affleck per il nuovo Batman?
"Mi ha scritto Matt Damon il giorno dopo la notizia: "E se io faccessi Robin?". "Come no - gli ho risposto- Puoi fare Robin o la Batgirl". Matt è veramente un attore bravissimo, vedrete quello che fa nel mio film".

A parte gli scherzi: di Ben Affleck come Batman che dice?
"Gli ho parlato ieri sera, perché stanno veramente esagerando, gliene stanno dicendo di tutti i colori, lo stanno facendo a pezzi. Gli ho detto che avevano fatto lo stesso con Daniel Craig per 007... Passa tutto se fai un buon film. Non sono affatto preoccupato per lui. "Ben, per te è una grossa chance gli ho detto- Fai così: guarda tutto quello che ho fatto, e fai l'opposto. Andrà benissimo".

It followed the controversy on the web for the choice of Ben Affleck for the new Batman?
"I wrote Matt Damon on the day after the news:" and if I faccessi Robin? "."Nope-I replied – you can make Robin or Batgirl. " Matt is really a very good actor, you'll see what he does in my film. "

Seriously: Ben Affleck as Batman who says?
"I spoke to him last night, because they are really exaggerating, are saying all sorts of things, they're doing it to pieces. I told him who had done the same with Daniel Craig for 007 ... Passes all if you make a good movie. I am not worried for him. "Well, for you is a big chance I told him-you do that: look at everything I did, and do the opposite. Gonna be fine ".


So?  

OMG he told us the end of the movie. He will die. Oh now we know. I hate to know the end before    
 
"I had nothing bad to do! I arrived, I was cute, and I die, a fantastic role for me."
 
So yes it's me it  looks like LA, NY and London again. We will see more pics I hope or maybe we will not even know he is there. Wonder how Canada fits in this rota.
 
Thanks for the artical it's me. Nice Interview

Ok so now the question. Do I want to see him die  

Oh boy this will be a sad movie.

But I like his line. "I was cute" hehe

Ops

But

Wait
He jokes a lot about plots
'Everyone dies'

....so?

What everyone dies. No happy end? Oh no.

This is like if somebody tells you the end of the book before starting reading it.

Or do you mean it is all a joke and noone dies

I vote for the happy endin

Lasciamo stare tutto, ma teniamoci stretto quell’uomo di buona volontà che è George Clooney. Perché crede in quello che fa. Perché si porta da casa il pennarello per firmare gli autografi. Perché un altro, con una particina così, poteva anche starsene sul lago di Como. Invece lui viene qui e si diverte pure, molto più di quelli che gli stanno intorno, stressatissimi nell’ inventare e mettere in atto inutili contromisure alla sua fama.
Lui ha l’aria di godersela. La sera prima ha suonato il pianoforte e cantato al bar del Cipriani . E, finito il “lavoro” della serata inaugurale (red carpet, proiezione, cena ufficiale) è andato a farsi un paio di drink alla Palazzina G. con qualche amico, da brava ape operaia dell’arte cinematografica.
Sandra Bullock, invece, è andata subito a dormire, per stirarsi le rughe che (beata lei) non ha.

Let stand everything, but let's keep speaking the man of goodwill that is George Clooney. Because he believes in what he does. Who brings from home the marker pen to sign autographs.
Because another be. A small part in a movie could also stay on Lake Como. Instead he comes here and has fun as well, much more than those who are around, stressed in inventing and implementing countermeasures to his fame, unnecessary.

He seems to enjoy it. The night before he played the piano and sang in the bar of Cipriani. And, ended the "work" of the opening evening (red carpet, projection, official dinner) went to get a few drinks at the Palazzina G with few friends, a good worker bee of cinematic art.
Sandra Bullock, however, went immediately to sleep, stretching wrinkles that (blessed her) did not have.

Thanks for th artical. That was new to me. But it doesn't say anything about the film ending. Or maybe I can't read LOL But ok let's hope for a happy ending.

So as per the artical G was playing piano and singing at the hotel bar????
He brought his own marker pen to sign autographs?????

Ok can't believe that. haha Ok maybe that with the piano I will believe LOL

I would like to hear him playing piano
A LOT!!

I could buy a piano and ask him to


Mm?

I love that he plays piano and sings .

It was one of his dreams

He would be just  gorgeous sitting at the piano and singing . Aaaaaah

Dreaming....

Thanks It'sMe for this whole thread I enjoyed it so much. I know George can sing but didn't know that he could play the piano, he's a multi-talented wonder. When they were doing "Oh, Brother" the guy that did the singing(cannot remember his name it's in an article that I posted here) said that George could sing but he didn't have enough confidence to do it. You know George if not perfect...

We know! But the idea of him
His voice
Low...
And his hands on a piano

What a dream!!!

He can play the piano?
I didn't know that.

Oh that view and the prosecco .

and his hands on me . . . what a bigger dream

Well... Guess you are right!!!

Looking at that picture, I imagine its what heaven could be like, just gorgeous

George owns a piano, but does not play.  We know he can sing, but he always makes a joke of it.  He always has his own blue marker to sign autographs.

It was stated in several places that George just drifts out to space never to be seen or heard again...

I love this pic it's like a 007 poster , and george looks so handsome in it .
I didn't know he played the piano either , l would love to see him playing the piano up close .

This is a wonderful picture. I don't follow anyone but George I am not a fan in that sense. However if there is a movie on with Sandra Bullock in it I will go out of my way to see it. I think she is a good actress and from what I've heard a great person.
