While George Clooney can enjoy some creative freedom in Hollywood today, this was not the case at the start of his career. Before meeting a great success thanks to the series Emergencies, he shot a few feature films that were quickly forgotten, for example Return of the killer tomatoes. But according to him, his fame apparently didn’t make him immune to bad movies.
While he is in the process of promoting his new feature film Midnight in the Universe, available on Netflix from December 23, the Hollywood actor is loose on his artistic choices. Guest of Howard Stern Show Thursday December 16, George Clooney got loose on the film Batman & Robin, which he shot in 1996 under the direction of Joel Schumacher and in which he played the dark knight of Gotham: “It’s so bad it hurts me to watch him.” If I skip the TV channels and run into them, I find myself saying “Oh no, no, no,” “he reports.
According to him, his notoriety at the time did not allow him to give his opinion on the script: “It was a big machine, that thing, and at the time of the shooting, I was just a simple actor who had obtained a job, not a guy capable of giving the green light for a film. They had paid Arnold [Schwarzenegger] $ 25 million, and me a million. Fortunately for him, today, George Clooney has a career that allows him to be choosy about his artistic choices.
