George Clooney
The 68th Venice Film Festival is underway in Italy and this event is an important one in the film festival calendar and pulls in the stars but is not quite as famous as say The Cannes Film Festival nor as big as something like the Toronto Film Festival but it still packs a punch in film circles. A mixture of red carpet photos from Day 1 and also some off red carpet casual paparazzi photos of the stars out and about showing some celebrity style.
Firstly the celebrity sightings by the local paps included Alessandro Benetton, Christoph Waltz, Cindy Crawford, Eli Roth, Ezio Greggio, George Clooney, Li Bingbing, Rande Gerber and Vittoria Puccini. Photos
The first film premiere to open the Venice Film Festival event was the George Clooney directed “The Ides Of March” which also stars the man himself. According to the London Evening standard the film goes something like this.
An ultra-liberal Democratic candidate (Clooney himself) who proclaims unusually honest policies, is caught out having had a one-night stand with Evan Rachel Wood’s pretty young intern who doesn’t know it but she has to have an abortion. All this is made worse by the fact that Ryan Gosling’s idealistic press secretary has just been sacked, knows the secret and is prepared to blurt it out to the press if he’s not reinstated.
Ides of March Film Premiere Photos
In summary this is an intelligent political drama with juicy bits and demonstrates that to get to the very top rung in politics, it can be achieved…………. but it’s very difficult to keep a squeaky clean image by the time you get there, some mud is going to stick as everybody is human!. Originally billed for a end of 2011/Early 2012 release Sony Pictures have decided to release the film earlier with a pencilled in date rumoured to be October 14th. That’s a good sign.
