| Clooney promotes ‘Up in the Air' in Rome - Today's Zaman Posted: 19 Oct 2009 01:13 AM PDT
Like his character, Clooney says he has worked around the clock, at times to the detriment of his friendships and family relations. And while he doesn't fire people for a living, Clooney says he had his fair share of layoffs before becoming a Hollywood star. "There are a lot of things about this guy I understand," Clooney said of his character, speaking at the Rome Film Festival where the Jason Reitman movie was presented Saturday. "Part of it is -- and a good portion of it is -- that you can spend a large part of your time literally up in the air, you can spend it working and missing part of your life. I spent a long time unemployed and when you are broke and unemployed, when you finally start working you don't wanna stop," Clooney said. Clooney's character, corporate downsizing expert Ryan Bingham, is busier than ever as companies struggle in the financial crisis. As he travels across America, he tries to rack up a million frequent-flyer miles. "To know me is to fly with me. This is where I live," Bingham says at one point in the movie, as he expertly navigates check-ins and security controls in one of the US airports he calls home. But his desire to live an isolated life on the road, with no strings attached, is put to test when he meets fellow frequent-flyer Alex, played by Vera Farmiga. The movie received warm applause at a press screening at the festival, where it is running for best-picture award. The gloomy atmosphere brought about by the financial crisis figures significantly in the movie, some of which takes places in hard-hit cities such as Detroit. Many of the workers who get fired in the movie are played by people who in real life lost their jobs in the past year, Reitman said. The Rome festival runs through Oct. 22.

| Vince Vaughn overcomes shark fear - Kerala Next Posted: 18 Oct 2009 10:11 AM PDT "I grew up around a lake so I was uncomfortable with what might be lurking in the water," contactmusic.com quoted Vaughn as saying.
Vaughn shot off the Bora Bora coast for the film. "There were sharks and we swam with them. It's like anything in life. Once you get around something, you go, 'Oh this is kind of cool.' But, originally, I was like, 'There's no way I'm going in the ocean with a shark'." Vaughn, who used to date Jennifer Aniston, has also admitted he hates mobile phones. The 39-year-old star refuses to buy one and borrows a phone if he needs to make a call. "It's become a problem for me with pay phones becoming extinct. I drive the people around me mad by using their cell phones. I just started to e-mail which I like but cell phones drive me mad. I'll never own one unless I absolutely have to," he said.

| 'Wild Things' delivers $32.5M box-office rumpus - Lincoln Journal Star Posted: 18 Oct 2009 09:59 PM PDT
Movie fans are eagerly making the journey to "Where the Wild Things Are." The live-action adaptation of Maurice Sendak's beloved picture book led the box office with a $32.5 million opening weekend. "Where the Wild Things Are" was followed by Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler's vengeance thriller "Law Abiding Citizen," which debuted with $21.3 million. Expanding into wider release, the low-budget horror sensation "Paranormal Activity" moved up to No. 3 with $20.2 million. "Paranormal Activity" outdid the premiere of the big studio fright flick "The Stepfather," which played in nearly four times as many theaters but managed just a No. 5 opening with $12.3 million.

| Puppy love: Richard Gere waxes about dog movie - AZCentral.com Posted: 16 Oct 2009 02:17 PM PDT ROME - Richard Gere said Friday, Oct. 16, that he "cried like a baby" when he read the script of his new movie - a remake based on a cherished Japanese story about a faithful dog that died at a train station waiting for its owner. "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" was so moving, Gere said, he would choke up when talking about it. "I was telling people over dinner, and I could only get half way through the story and I would start crying," the Hollywood star told a news conference after the film was screened out of competition at the Rome Film Festival. The true story of a friendship between the dog Hachiko and his owner is a legend among Japanese, a pet-loving nation that honors self-sacrificing loyalty. Hachiko used to wait every day at Shibuya train station for its owner, a professor at the University of Tokyo - even for a decade after the professor died. People were so moved they built a statue of Hachiko at the station - now a popular rendezvous spot. The story of Hachiko, who himself died in 1935, was made into a 1987 Japanese movie. The new version, directed by Lasse Hallstrom, moves the tale to a station in modern Rhode Island. "I cried like a baby" when reading the script, Gere said. "I wasn't sure if it was just a very sensitive reaction I had that day, so I read it again a few days later and had the same reaction. "This is a love story," said Gere, who plays the professor. "It has nothing to do with gender or species." The canines that play Hachiko in the movie belong to the Japanese breed of Akita dogs - known for being close to wild dogs and very difficult to train. "We could not train the dogs to do things, but we had to create an environment trustful for them," Gere said. The movie had its U.S. premiere in June at the Seattle International Film Festival, and opened in Japan in August. Other movies screening out of competition at the Rome festival include "Julie & Julia," starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams, and Joel and Ethan Coen's film "A Serious Man." The fourth edition of the festival, which is becoming part of the international circuit of movie festivals, runs through Oct. 22. This content has passed through fivefilters.org. |
