George Clooney lands in Venice

George Clooney arrived at the Venice Film Festival and waiting for him, as expected, the flashes of photographers and dozens of fans already perched in front of the red carpet, waiting to see him parade (it is not yet known if alone or in company).
The American actor is, along with Sandra Bullock, starring in Gravity, the film by Alfonso Cuarón that will open this evening the 70th edition of the Venice International Film Festival.

In Gravity Clooney plays Matt Kowalsky, an astronaut on his last mission before retirement, who is tasked with following Dr. Ryan Stone, an experienced biomedical engineer, on his first time. Their Shuttle will be hit by a meteor shower and they will find themselves alone in space. The film received a "warm welcome from the press, who did not spare themselves in applause at the end of the screening. A pity that it is out of competition!

Clooney, in magnificent shape and armed with his usual irony, said he had a lot of fun on the set, also because he shared it with Sandra Bullock, who is a great friend of his in life.
No one asked him about his private life, but there was no lack of questions about his social and political commitment.
The actor confirmed his commitment to the African populations, admitting: “I have a satellite between Sudan and South Sudan, because we wanted to control the atrocities that, as we unfortunately know, are on the agenda there. I must say that this initiative has been successful. The "only problem is the clouds, because in that case the visibility decreases and it is necessary to use infrared".

When asked what he thinks of his "friend" Barack Obama's choices regarding Syria, he glossed over with a joke: "I wasn't expecting a question about the troops in Syria, but I was hoping for a question about Ben Affleck who will play Batman. ! "
