Clooney and Gilroy on Shootout
George Clooney and Tony Gilroy know that studios rarely make films like "Michael Clayton," which was very well received after it opened last night in Toronto. "We kinda stumbled through the system and made a great movie," said Gilroy, chatting with Peter Bart and Peter Gruber during a taping of Sunday Morning Shootout.
So how do you deal with the frenzy that is the Toronto Film Festival, Bart asked? Replied Clooney, "Chum the waters with Brad Pitt."
And that's true. The hordes of fans waiting outside the Four Seasons here have cameras ready for Clooney, or his good friend, Brad, here for "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford."
