Film On Sunday night, at one of the top film festivals, something special happened. Brad Pitt and George Clooney wowed the crowd at the Venice Film Festival. Their new movie ‘Wolfs’ made its big debut and got a standing ovation. But not just any standing ovation—it lasted for a whopping four minutes!
Reunited Friends Celebrate Their New Project
Pitt and Clooney, two of Hollywood’s biggest stars, were super excited. They hugged, danced, and really soaked in the love from their fans. The applause was a sight to see, but it wasn’t as loud as we expected for these two superstars.
And let’s talk about the venue! The premiere took place at the Sala Grande in Venice. Before the event even started, it was crazy. Fans, eager for a chance to see these Hollywood icons, packed the venue. As a result, the premiere was delayed by more than half an hour.
When Brad Pitt and George Clooney Finally Arrive
When Pitt and Clooney finally showed up, the crowd went wild. Both stars showed off their charm, taking pictures and signing autographs for fans before heading in. Once inside, they were greeted with a loud “Buonasera!” (Good evening in Italian). The crowd’s response was equally as excited.
Still, even when the movie started, the excitement didn’t die down. Some fans who didn’t have tickets were still trying to find a seat. A few even got kicked out in the early parts of the film.
Party Continues after the Film Ends
After the screening, Pitt and Clooney shared a hug, danced to Sade’s “Smooth Operator”, and celebrated their movie. Clooney even shared a special moment with his wife, Amal. Then both superstars went down from the balcony to meet the cheering crowd.
Interestingly, the standing ovation, while lengthy, was shorter than many had anticipated. Maybe it was because the event started late, or perhaps the rowdy crowd made officials hurry people out.
Brad Pitt’s Arrival Just Days After Ex-Wife Angelina Jolie
Just two days before the premier, Pitt’s ex-wife Angelina Jolie also enjoyed success. Her film, Maria, got an eight-minute standing ovation. As for their ongoing divorce, neither Pitt nor Jolie made any comments. Pitt also steered clear of any questions about allegations of his abusive past towards Jolie during their marriage.
Pitt and Clooney Reunite through ‘Wolfs’
In a recent cover story for GQ, Pitt and Clooney reflected on their friendship of many years. They shared their thoughts on the changing face of Hollywood. Clooney said that the way stars are made has changed.
‘Wolfs,’ an action-comedy, reunites Pitt and Clooney. It is written and directed by Jon Watts, who could not attend the premiere due to having tested positive for COVID-19. The film also stars Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, and Poorna Jagannathan. And guess what? There’s already a sequel being planned!
Previous Collaborations: From ‘Ocean’s’ to ‘Burn After Reading’
Pitt and Clooney have previously worked together. They co-starred in the 2001-2007 Ocean’s franchise and the 2008 black comedy Burn After Reading. Also, they both have history with the Venice Film Festival. In the past, Pitt premiered Fight Club and won an award in 2007, while Clooney attended in 2009 for another movie.
