This project has been described as “a funny and emotional coming-of-age film about adults”, but plot details are still being held under wraps. Baumbach is coming on board as its director and producer, in addition to co-writing the script with Emily Mortimer.

This film will mark Baumbach’s first collaboration with Clooney, but he and Sandler go back a long way. The Uncut Gems actor previously starred in Baumbach’s acclaimed dramedy The Meyerowitz Stories alongside Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman, and Emma Thompson.

This upcoming film also marks the continuation of Baumbach’s fruitful collaboration with Netflix. The Meyerowitz Stories marked his first film with the streamer, followed by six-time Oscar-nominated Marriage Story and its follow-up White Noise, both starring Adam Driver.

Sandler is fresh from starring in several comedy films as a part of his Netflix deal, including You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah and the animated movie Leo. Clooney most recently directed the sports drama Boys in the Boat and will soon appear in Jon Watts’ action thriller Wolfs alongside his Ocean’s Eleven co-star Brad Pitt.

The Boys in the Boat is based on Daniel James Brown’s book of the same name, but the story at its center is 100% true. This biographical sports drama centers on the University of Washington’s rowing team, which competed for gold at the 1936 Summer Olympic Games in Berlin.

What makes their story so extraordinary is the team’s unbreakable spirit in the face of many obstacles they’ve faced long before heading to Berlin. This team of underdogs mostly consisted of working-class students, who were thrust into the spotlight to take on elite rivals from around the world.

“The Boys in the Boat is about strong, tough kids. They were poor and hungry. They’re rowing because it’s the only way they can stay in college. The stakes were much higher for them, and it gave them an edge,” said Clooney in a behind-the-scenes featurette.

The Boys in the Boat will be released on December 25 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and its ensemble cast includes Callum Turner, Joel Edgerton, Peter Guinness, Chris Diamantopoulos, Jack Mulhern, Sam Strike, and Alec Newman.

Directed by Ol Parker (Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again), this rom-com centers on a divorced couple, played by Clooney and Roberts. They decide to team up and travel to Bali in an attempt to stop their daughter from marrying a local that she just met and making the same mistake they made 25 years ago.

In addition to Clooney and Roberts, Ticket to Paradise also stars Kaitlyn Dever (Dopesick), Maxime Bouttier (Rewrite), Billie Lourd (American Horror Story), and Lucas Bravo (Emily in Paris).

Ticket to Paradise marks the latest in the long line of collaborations between Clooney and Roberts, after the success of Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, and Money Monster. Clooney most recently directed and starred in the 2020 adventure drama The Midnight Sky, while Roberts played Martha Mitchell in the Watergate-themed mini-series Gaslit earlier this year.

The Oscar-winning actor has teamed up again with longtime collaborator Grant Heslov to produce the feature adaptation of Lily Brooks-Dalton’s 2016 novel. The sci-fi thriller was named one of the best books of 2017 by the Chicago Review of Books. 

The screenplay will be penned by The Revenant and Overlord scribe  Mark L. Smith.

According to Variety, the post-apocalyptic tale follows the parallel stories of Augustine (Clooney), a lonely scientist in the Arctic, and an astronaut on board the Aether spacecraft, which is trying to return home to Earth, as Augustine races to make contact with the spaceship.

“Grant and I couldn’t be more excited to be involved with this incredible project,” Clooney said in a statement. “Mark is a writer we’ve long admired and his script is haunting. We’re thrilled to be working with our friends at Netflix as well.”

“Having known and worked with George for over two decades, I can’t think of anyone better to bring this amazing story to life,” Scott Stuber, head of Netflix’s film division, added. “The book is powerful and moving, and Mark’s adaptation is beautifully written. At its core, this is a story about human nature, and one that I know our global audiences will fall in love with, just like I did when I read it.”

Forbes has now released its list of the world’s highest-paid actors of 2018 — and not all of them are there because of the movies they made.

The financially-focused publication revealed that between June of 2017 and 2018, Hollywood’s top 10 leading men made a combined total of $748.5 million.

The figure is significantly more than the $186 million earned by their female counterparts, of which Avengers: Infinity War actress, Scarlett Johansson earned the most with $40.5 million.

Despite not releasing a feature film since 2016, Money Monster actor, George Clooney, topped the men’s list with $239 million, thanks mostly to the sale of his Casamigos Tequila company, which he co-founded in 2013 with Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman.

George was followed by Dwayne Johnson who released not one, but 2 blockbusters this year, in the form of Jumanji: Return to the Jungle and Skyscraper. The combination earned him $124 million.

Third place went to Avengers: Infinity War star, Robert Downey Jr. who, with $81 million, might one day be as wealthy as his character, Tony Stark

Robert’s Avengers co-star, Chris Hemsworth, came in 4th place with $64.5 million, followed by Jackie Chan who rounded off the top 5 with $45.5 million.

The remaining spots were filled by Will Smith ($42 million), Akshay Kumar ($40.5 million), Adam Sandler ($39.5 million), Salman Khan ($38.5 million), and Chris Evans ($34 million).

Not bad for a year’s work.

The Catch-22 star was en route to the series’ film set in Sardinia when he was literally knocked off his bike. The 57-year-old was traveling on his scooter which was hit by a vehicle, causing the Oscar winner to be thrown in the air and hit the car’s windscreen.

He was then taken to the emergency room at John Paul II Hospital after complaining about a slight trauma to the pelvis and bruises to one leg and an arm,” according to an Italian publication.

A representative for the father of two has now said that “George was treated and released from an Olbia hospital. He is recovering at home and will be fine.”
