George Clooney filming in Rome

PAN, I did some research on fountains in Italy.  I did not see anything on the one, George Clooney is standing next to, however I did see where Rome is home to some beautiful historical fountains.

"It's me" lives in Italy and Benex is in Sutri, maybe they have some information on the fountain.

No

No information....

It's really beautiful, thanks PAN

I got hungry!

Wonder if George stopped in for some mushroom soup?

PAN - Did Katie make you a mod when Nicky80 and Lorna Doone dropped off the radar? Seems like you're working overtime to keep the peace. (If it matters, I knew you were being sarcastic. )

None of the research stuff is difficult, folks, or rocket science. It took a couple of clicks.

It's much appreciated (at least by me) but it's really not your job.

PAN, may have ran across that picture in my research.  I would not have associated it with the one George Clooney is standing in front of.

I really hope he's able to get good rest.

I really hope so

I would like me too.....

Clooney-Sgarbi, act two. After the post published a few days ago by the art critic, who accused the troupe committed to Sutri in the filming of the TV series ' Catch 22 ' with and directed by George Clooney to have dirted the town of which Sgarbi is mayor for some months, arrives the replica through The words of Lotus Production, which reads in the ' journal ',  "has really enjoyed the reception reserved by the town of Sutri" but never would have expected to read in the national and international press the negative statements of his first Citizen  ".

"As well known to Dr. Sgarbi-continues the letter-, the production was occupied, with the utmost diligence, competence and seriousness, which has always characterized, the setting up of the film set for the TV series ' Catch 22 ' and the consequent dismantling of the equipment and cleaning of all the places used. The overall sustained expenditure was not only ' a modest contribution of just five thousand euros ' requested and paid to the municipality of Sutri as stated by Dr Sgarbi, but more than 65,000 paid through transfers to shops and citizens for the inconvenience, As from the documentation in our possession.

The layer of Earth- "No" tampering with the country... impertinent... Bully "has never been perpetrated against the town " and its inhabitants who, on the contrary, have  "demonstrated their full support and appreciation. does not correspond to the truth-continues the production of the TV series-that "the layer of Earth placed to cover the paving stones and return the original appearance of clay has been removed slowly, without special care, by raising annoying powders, Forcing citizens to clean up. ' No citizen, in fact-is stressed-, was forced to clean up anything, since the cleaning work has been entrusted to specialized companies, which have perfectly restored the status of the places prior to filming  ". Furthermore, it is noted that no ' formal protest ' has ever come to the film's production. '

"I would point out, among other things, that Mr Clooney certainly does not have the management of setting up and dismantling the film set-the letter continues-. In the hope that the post published by the press office of Dr. Sgarbi is the result of an unfortunate misunderstanding, "the production asks " That is immediately removed  "as well as" the formal apology from Dr. Sgarbi and his press office, both in Production against Mr. Clooney  ", otherwise " will force me to protect the reasons for Lotus production and Mr. Clooney. "

Sgarbi-words to which, always from the pages of the ' newspaper ', Sgarbi replica:  "Nothing I knew of your production. None of you showed up. " And again, he adds, "Two of my trusted collaborators", during a dinner at Sutri on July 23, "I have been told that the city was still dirty and that many citizens had provided (perhaps because you already compensated) to clean up directly."

"I acknowledge-writes the art critic-that some citizens have had" credit transfers for the inconvenience ", but public spaces are not of those citizens. I therefore have no difficulty in denying it, possessing the photographic documentation showing with evidence the residues of dirt and earth. As for the cleaning work does not correspond to the truth that they have "perfectly restored the state of the places prior to filming"  "because a witness " told me to have intervened to clean up (and the photos attent) residues of dust and earth  ".

The pictures-photos that Sgarbi has published for a few hours on his profile. A "photographic documentation-writes the art critic in the newspaper-I found after the press", which  "Unfortunately gives you wrong. Even with my regret. I would not therefore have reason to remove the post on Facebook but I have nothing against it-then adds Sgarbi-, of course after having published photographs of the situation left after the first two days of your "cleaning work". As a demonstration of my estimation I can do more: appoint Mr. Clooney as an honorary citizen of Sutri.

Series, which will be broadcast on Sky, of which Clooney is co-producer and director. We have been working in the city for several days to put the production in the best possible conditions to work. On Monday morning, at Palazzo dei Priori, a special press conference was convened to give all the information on places, times and prohibitions.

What does this pic has to do with elections. Is one of the guys on the pic a candidate and uses it for publicity?

It sounds like maybe he's getting some rest.  That's a really good thing.

Carol, in the picture I love that bright light on George Clooney's shoulder.

Thank you, Benex. Great research!

thanks
no George sights ?

I was thinking the same thing. If they're filming Hugh Laurie, George must be somewhere around - unless he's not directing that part of the show.

The nuns in habits, brought back memories from being a kid. They don't dress like that anymore times do change in fashion even for nuns.

Thanks for posting Benex and Annemarie, the film making process is amazing to see.  I can't wait to see the series.

No George sights

Already in Rome?

Editing ?


Resting ?
I would hope so

Nice!

Don't forget that there are three directors for six episodes of this each directing two episodes: George, Grant Heslov and a lady who I think is in this piece of film.

So as well as location work there's stuff going on in the Rome Studios and George also has an editing suite in Laglio...............

It would be nice to see him again
At work

But better rest ....

Rest... 

He sounded worried
But at least
On his feet

Sort of usual life

I would like to keep away this sadness

My previous post was about the Gatto Nero dinner
B&w stripe dress


Now
Found those George last seen in Sutri
Some  pic put together into a video
Some shots sound new to me

Where the hell his him

Malibu?

Mah.....

Mah ... Is as who knows

George doesn't own a home in Malibu so no reason for him to be there. My guess he is with Amal if she is still in New York.
But, he could be any where we will never know until he is seen.
