Brad Pitt Shines Alongside George Clooney at the Venice Film Festival

Brad Pitt and George Clooney's Arrival at the Venice Film Festival

Since August 28, celebrities have been gracing the Venice Film Festival. On September 1, Brad Pitt and George Clooney made a notable appearance at the Lido di Venezia. They presented their film Wolves, which is not in competition at the festival. Directed by Jon Watts, the film will premiere on Apple TV+ on September 20. The highly anticipated duo was welcomed by eager fans. While Brad donned a blue suit, George opted for a sleek gray ensemble.

Press Conference Insights

Before hosting an exclusive press conference at the Palazzo del Casinò, they posed for photographers. In Wolves, George plays a professional fixer hired to conceal a crime. However, when a second fixer, portrayed by Brad Pitt, arrives on the scene, the "two lone wolves" must collaborate amidst a chaotic yet amusing setup that promises numerous surprises.

Over the years, the two actors have become more than colleagues; they have forged a genuine friendship. They previously starred together in Burn After Reading back in 2008, and have also shared the screen in the Ocean's Eleven series from 2001 to 2007.

George Clooney's Reflections

During the press conference, George Clooney spoke about his experiences and his bond with the film's director, saying, “I’m getting older. So yes, I prefer to work with people I get along with.” He expressed gratitude to Jon Watts for thinking of both of them to play these roles, emphasizing their rapport. Furthermore, Clooney praised the rapid production of the film, noting, “Brad and I have been in the industry long enough to know that typically it takes years for a project to come to fruition. This time, we both got on board and everything came together very quickly.”
