The American (in Italy)





Anton Corbijn is making a film with George Clooney staring, and it's called The American. Even as Corbijn directs, he’s often thinking in stills. “We’re so good at registering narratives in films,” says lead actress in the film, Thekla Reuten. “But Anton uses the immense possibilities you have just with light and atmosphere to make an image that translates a character and situation. Not just any photographer could make a movie like this.”
The shots are quite expressive and let's face it, any excuse to feature images of (topless) George Clooney, but he's certainly keeping his career on the unpredictable side. Although he may best be known for his commercial choices, it's more side-stream films such as this that let him stretch his legs.
Looking forward to seeing more exciting things ahead for the incredibly charming actor.
