George Clooney denies report he and Brad Pitt earned $35 million for new movie:Bad for our industry

Pair Star in Wolfs premiering this weekend at Venice Film Festival.

During a press talk for the movie on Sunday at the Venice Film Festival Clooney mentioned the report to the gathered press.

George Clooney is denying a report about his salary for his new movie with longtime pal Brad Pitt.

“It was an interesting article and whatever her source was for our salary. It is millions and millions and millions of dollars less than what was reported. And I am only saying that because I think it is bad for our industry if that is what people thinks is the standard bearer fro salaries”.

Wolf marks clooney and Pitts first time on screen together in 16 years since 2008.

The film star pair play fixers hired to cover up crimes reluctantly brought together when they are called to same assignment.

Clooney also said that he and Pitt give some portions of their salaries back after a deal for a theatrical release for Wolfs fell through meaning it will get limited release.

He said the current complications of making and selling movies in hollywood.

Ye we wanted it to be released. We had some bumps along the way that happens. When I did  The Boys in The Boat we did it for MGM and then it ended up being for Amazon and we did not get a foreign release at all which was a surprise. There are elements of this that we are  figuring out”.

“You guys are all in this too he said. We are all in this industry and we are trying to find our way post COVID and everything else and there is some bumps along the way.”

George Clooney and Brad Pitt have same roles as veteran crime fixers who are called into same assignment in a humorous craper.

The movie itself never rise to more than a silly self satisfied crime caper but mega stars look as they are enjoying themselves and sense of fun by and large is infectious.
