The effort behind George Clooney’s effortless charm.

George and Renee will do promotion for Leatherheads on the set of French TV channel Canal+ on Friday evening. Canal + has a site on the internet, so you’ll be able to find the video of the event afterwards for those who don’t live in France.
George on why he supports Barack Obama:
“I’m a friend of the Clintons. I worked with Hillary before, so I like her and would have been happy to do whatever I could [to help her campaign], but then a couple of years ago, at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, up stepped the most eloquent speaker I’ve heard since maybe Kennedy. I just thought, ‘Well, there are people who are great and will do fine, then there’s a time in your life where you go, “This is something spectacular.””
Do you ever worry that, by pinning your colours to a particular candidate, you’ll offend people, even your fans?
RZ “No. The larger concern is that you’ll do damage because you’re an easy target.”
GC “I’m careful because my father [Nick Clooney] ran for Congress [as a Democrat] in 2004. I couldn’t campaign for him because the Republicans ran a ‘Hollywood vs. the heartland’ campaign, saying we were the immoral ones. It’s enticing when someone exciting [like Obama] says, ‘Please do this for me.’ But you have to ask, ‘Is this in their best interests?”
Renee on the on-screen chemistry with George during the filming of Leatherheads:
“Oh, there’s a natural comfort there, absolutely. But I was terrified – I didn’t want to be the one who sucked in his movie. You’d much rather disappoint somebody you’re not going to see again.”
George on Leatherheads’ old-fashioned setting:
“I have a great nostalgia for things that seem simpler. I know that they weren’t. I’m sure it wasn’t always ‘the good old days’ – people were dying of polio! I truly do understand the difference, but there was a clarity to the storytelling that I miss and I like. That’s why I did Good Night, and Good Luck.”
George on wanting children:
GC (Jokingly) “I did try to adopt Britney Spears – you know, somebody with some cash to take care of me in my old age.”
RZ [Laughs]
GC “She wasn’t having it”
RZ “No”
Here is the edited version of the full feature appearing in the magazine, which is on sale now.

John Krasinski, who appears in “Leatherheads,” above, is directing an adaptation of “Brief Interviews With Hideous Men,” a collection of stories by David Foster Wallace.
By DAVE ITZKOFF
Published: March 30, 2008
JUST as fans of the NBC sitcom “The Office” were celebrating the transformation of the fictional colleagues Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly from unrequited lovers to an honest-to-goodness couple, the writers’ strike cruelly stalled their romance and halted production on the show for several months. But for John Krasinski, the actor who plays Jim, the affable everydude of “The Office,” the news wasn’t all bad. He used the hiatus to resume postproduction work on his directorial debut, an adaptation of David Foster Wallace’s “Brief Interviews With Hideous Men,” a collection of short stories and monologues that he has been trying to make into a film for more than five years.

The Unscripted interview with George and John Krasinski for ‘Leatherheads’ is up now. (It’s the interview where George and John answer questions sent in by fans). It’s really great, really funny—they poke fun of one another, so cute. See it here!
My wife, Linda and I went to one of the two Premier showings for movie Extras in Greenville, SC last night, and I did see myself in it (happily - after working 40hrs in 3 days last year). At 20 minutes or so into the movie there is a 2-3 second view of me walking out of the Historical Poinsett Hotel that Clooney has quickly pulled-up to on his motorcycle w/sidecar. Sometimes during the movie the images pass by rather quickly, but in other parts - the romantic ones in particular, the scenes are very close-up with Clooney and Renee Zellweger, where every word and facial expression have a lot of meaning, and are fun to interpret. The newbie to being in a lead role, Krasinski, does a great job in the way he conveys his confidence, his role as a football star, and as a war hero. Clooney, well need I say more? Having to play rough football with the younger guys and work on strategies for winning each game, he also shows his ability to work on a strategy to attempt to win-over Renee, the newspaper reporter. It was tough for “Dodge” to try to gain affection from the much younger “Lexie”, because he was competing over her against the war-hero and College superstar “Carter”. Renee was excellent in playing her role as kind of a sassy, but very attractive newspaper reporter starting to cover football games. She hung in there with the guys despite the occasional jokes directed at her during those games.

Trailer: ‘Leatherheads’
By MICHAEL CIEPLY
LOS ANGELES — “Leatherheads,” which was shot in the Carolinas, is about to get a hometown premiere, even if the hundreds of local people who worked as extras and bit players on this football comedy, set for release by Universal Pictures on April 4, have to do it themselves.
Which, in fact, they do.

For one night, Maysville will be Hollywood along the Ohio River, thanks to George Clooney.
The 46-year-old actor-director will visit the northern Kentucky town Monday night for a special screening of his new movie, “Leatherheads,” his father, Nick Clooney, said Tuesday.
“The whole town is abuzz,” said Maysville Mayor David Cartmell.
Clooney, who won an Oscar for his role in “Syriana,” grew up in the town of Augusta, about 16 miles west of Maysville.
The setting has special significance for the Clooney family. In 1953, “The Stars Are Singing,” starring Rosemary Clooney, George Clooney’s aunt, premiered in Maysville.
“He knows all about that, and he is very interested in kind of connecting the dots as far as family history,” Nick Clooney said. “He thinks that would be kind of cool for the family, and one hopes for the town, too.”
Nick and Rosemary Clooney were born in Maysville. George Clooney was born in Lexington, and the family moved several times before settling in Augusta.
“Leatherheads,” which also stars Renee Zellweger, is a romantic comedy set in the world of 1920s professional football. The film will be in theaters April 4.
The movie will be shown at the Washington Opera Theatre, Nick Clooney and Universal Studios said Tuesday.
Cartmell said Monday night’s screening will probably be the biggest event in the town of about 9,000 since the premiere of “The Stars Are Singing.”
It will also be the hottest ticket in town.
Nick Clooney said about 300 seats will be available. The opera house seats about 450 people, but equipment needed to show the movie will take up space in the balcony, he said.
Cartmell said he expects the town to catch Hollywood fever.
“Next week, we’ll be Hollywood on the Ohio,” he said.
Cinematical is looking for fans to submit questions for George and John Krasinsky for an upcoming Moviefone Unscripted Interview for ‘Leatherheads’.
