By NANCY RAMSEY
George Clooney spent a year researching the for his second
directoral feature film.
"Good Night, and Good Luck," which opens Friday, starts with the camera
weaving discreetly about a large room of elegantly dressed men and
women.
The sequence - like the rest of the movie - is in black and white; the
time is October 1958; the scene is the Radio-Television News Directors'
Association's annual dinner. Men take centerstage at tables, no doubt
reminiscing about glorious moments in their careers. Women throw their
heads back and laugh, glasses tinkle, cigarette smoke curls upward, the
strains of the era's moody jazz fills the air.
In a few minutes, David Strathairn as Edward R. Murrow - the newsman
who set the gold standard for journalists by taking on Sen. Joseph
McCarthy at the height of his red-baiting reign of terror - will
deliver an impassioned speech on the importance of using television to
enlighten the citizenry. He will decry the idea of entertainment
trumping news, rail against the increasing influence of corporate and
stockholder concerns on broadcasting.
Until then, the camera alights on one person, then another, then a
third, before beginning its rounds again.
But wait. That dark-haired man glimpsed quickly, sort of to the right
of and behind someone else, the one with the large glasses - the light
dancing off them in such a way that it's hard to make out his features
- seems familiar. Isn't it George Clooney?
The 44-year-old star, who co-wrote and directed the film, plays Fred
Friendly, the CBS news producer who worked with Murrow. He wears thick
glasses, a white shirt, a tie clasp that rests unfashionably high on
his chest. Being a star is clearly not part of Clooney's agenda here.
Clooney admits he briefly considered playing the lead. But "with
Murrow, you always had the impression that he had the weight of the
world on his shoulders," he said last week over a hearty late breakfast
of bacon, scrambled eggs and potatoes. He was in town for the New York
Film Festival, which "Good Night, and Good Luck" opened.
Pausing a few seconds to scarf down a bite, he looked up and, with a
mischievous smile, added, "No one thinks that of me."
It's true that Clooney's a prankster with his friends and can play the
clown on movie sets. But make no mistake: He is as dead-on serious
about his new film and the issues it raises in today's political
climate as he is drop-dead handsome. In fact, he put up his $8 million
Los Angeles home as collateral when insurance company executives
worried that the back surgery he'd had would prevent him from
completing the film.
His father, Nick Clooney, worked as a news anchor in Kentucky, Ohio and
Los Angeles. "My dad would recite the 'box of lights and wires speech'
to us as kids," he said, referring to Murrow's 1958 speech (in which he
said that television can "teach, it can illuminate. ... But it can do
so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those
ends. Otherwise, it is merely wires and lights in a box").
"That and 'Julius Caesar': 'Friends, Romans, countrymen,'" Clooney
added, smiling fondly at the memory.
HIGH-WATER MARK
Clooney and co-writer Grant Heslov, a close friend since 1982, spent a
year researching the "Good Night" .
"For me the hardest part was making sure we were always careful with
the facts," Clooney said. "You have the Ann Coulters of the world and
the Page Sixes." One false step, and "we could be marginalized.
"I talked to my father a lot," he continued. "We double-sourced
everything. Every scene happened, then we wrote dialogue. We said to
Joe and Shirley" - meaning the Wershbas, who worked on Murrow's "See It
Now" and are played by Robert Downey Jr. and Patricia Clarkson - "tell
us when we're getting it wrong."
"I didn't want to do a biopic," Clooney said of his approach to Murrow.
Instead, the film captures the episode in late 1953 and early 1954 when
Murrow confronted McCarthy. All the action takes place indoors - mostly
in the newsroom or a jazz bar where the journalists retreat for their
end-of-the-day Scotches.
"That [confrontation] was a high-water mark for my father. Dad would
always talk about it," Clooney said. The film "is a tip of my hat to
what my old man has been fighting for his whole life."
In conversation with Clooney, an off-the-cuff remark about Halliburton
contracts or about conservative pundit Coulter will lead to a full-on
civics lesson that takes in the Patriot Act, the rights of prisoners in
Guantanamo Bay, the importance of following the Constitution, and how,
as Murrow said, "We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at
home."
It's a citizen's duty, not simply a right, Clooney noted, to "question
authority. We all know that authority, unchecked and unchallenged,
always corrupts.
"Two years ago," Clooney continued, when he and Heslov began working on
the film, "we thought this would be an interesting time to talk about
issues such as the dangers of letting fear erode civil liberties, the
danger of broadcast news not asking all of the toughest questions."
But, he added, quick to defend his dad's profession, there's "no
reporter out there who wouldn't want to break a big story. But if you
ask [a tough question] of this administration, you lose access, you're
at the back of the room."
The movie takes its title from Murrow's signoff line from his "See It
Now" broadcasts. "I heard that came from the bombings in London," said
Strathairn, referring to Murrow's World War II broadcasts. As people
took shelter during the blitz, "that's what they'd say as they [went
underground], 'Good night, and good luck.'"
Strathairn's performance has won praise from critics and those who knew
Murrow. "It's not mimicry. The timbre of the voice is not the same, but
that fades," Shirley Wershba said. "The cadence and the meaning of the
words is pure Murrow." And there's the "baleful look of the eyes, the
tilt of the head - it's the real Murrow."
Clooney cast Strathairn, 56, without an audition. "David has a sadness
that you can't act," Clooney said. "You can only cast it."
During shooting, "I can remember two or three times when George would
say, 'Just do it a little bit faster,'" Strathairn said. "It was this
invisible direction, the kind that tells you what you're doing is okay
and, if not, he knows what he wants. You knew he was whittling and
honing and crafting the scene as we were in it. Like Fred Friendly, he
was managing the room."
Walter Cronkite, who worked with both Murrow and Friendly, finds
Friendly "very well represented" by Clooney, adding that what was
"brushed over" were "Friendly's techniques and tactics. Friendly knew
what he wanted to get in a piece and went to no ends to get what he
believed to be right. Sometimes that involved stepping on other
people's toes. It was probably unavoidable for a person who was so
convinced of the rectitude of what he was trying to do."
Clooney recognizes that his Fred Friendly is only part of who the man
was. "Fred was tough," Clooney said. "Most Americans aren't going to
know Fred's personality, and I thought I would do a disservice to the
film" by making him a stronger character. "This is a clash of titans,
and I'm there to service the story."
Clooney said the film's style was influenced by the techniques of the
documentarian D.A. Pennebaker: "The camera's not always quite in the
right place. I wanted the camera to feel like a voyeur, and to focus on
words," often "letting silence be the score."
McCarthy meanwhile appears as himself in actual news footage. "From the
beginning, we wanted to use McCarthy in his own words," Clooney said.
"If you had an actor play him, you wouldn't believe it."
The film is "relentless in its pace," Strathairn said. "You don't want
to let [audiences] off the hook, where they can relax. You don't want
to leave that room. It's not necessary to investigate who Murrow was,
his life outside. It's who he was, who they all were, on the ice, in
the mix, on the front lines, at that moment."
"George always wanted to do work that was taken seriously," Heslov
said. "He was a star on 'ER,' and then started getting movie offers. He
played Batman, he did 'The Peacemaker.' I think he had an epiphany:
'What is my legacy going to be? This is my five minutes of fame. I
don't want to squander it. Let's strike while the iron is hot.'"
QUESTIONS OF GOVERNMENT
"When you're a struggling actor and you suddenly start getting jobs,"
Clooney said, "once you're the person that greenlights a film, a George
Clooney film - and believe me, I was thrilled to get 'Batman and Robin'
- that's a turning point. If I held responsibility for the film, I
wanted to pick better, [so] I did 'Out of Sight,' 'Three Kings,'
'Solaris,' [and directed] 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.'"
He said he wants "questions of government" to be part of his own films,
as it was in those he feels passionately about, including "All the
President's Men," "Coming Home," "Dr. Strangelove" and "The Parallax
View."
The trick, of course, will be to make them commercial enough. He paused
for a moment, finishing up breakfast, smiled, and said of "Good night,
and Good Luck," "We may actually get people to see this one."

Clooney unveils new film at Venice festival
01/09/2005 - 08:16:52
Actor George Clooney was expected to bring a touch of Hollywood glamour to
the Venice Film Festival today.
The Hollywood star has made his second film as director, Good Night. And,
Good Luck.
Shot in black-and white, the movie chronicles a broadcast journalist's
battle against the communist witch-hunt of 1950s America.
It features the real-life conflict between TV news pioneer Edward R Murrow,
played by David Strathairn, and Senator Joseph McCarthy.
As well as directing and co-writing the film, which contains newsreel
footage of McCarthy himself, former ER star Clooney also stars as Murrow's
producer Fred Friendly.
Robert Downey Jr, Patricia Clarkson and Jeff Daniels also star in the movie,
which Clooney has been desperate to make for years.
Oceans Twelve star Clooney's father was a news anchor for 30 years and
Murrow was considered a hero by the family.
Clooney, 44, made his directorial debut in 2002 with Confessions of a
Dangerous Mind, an adaptation of the memoirs of game show impresario Chuck
Barris.
The former ER star has also directed Uned, a TV series about young
actors trying to hit the big time in Hollywood.
Golden Globe-winning actor Clooney's new film is a serious contender for the
Golden Lion award.
The second day of the Venice festival will also see Spike Lee and Gladiator'
s Ridley Scott attending for All the Invisible Children, a feature film
about children in different parts of the world.
The film contains seven sections, each from different directors aiming to
raise awareness of children who are invisible to the adult world.
The Festival opened yesterday with Seven Swords, a martial arts epic set
during the Ching dynasty, directed by Tsui Hark, one of the biggest names in
martial arts films.
British actress Jacqueline Bisset also made an appearance for the launch of
her new movie The Fine Art of Love (Mine Ha Ha).
Gwyneth Paltrow, Russell Crowe and Sienna Miller are being tipped to make an
appearance during the world's oldest film festival, which features eleven
days of screenings.

I think her comments had more to do with the quality/depth/meatiness of
the roles being offered to her than any lack of glamor per se. Her
mother (Phyllida Law) does lots of "grandmother" roles, and they're also
minor supporting roles/bit parts. If Thompson were in direct
competition with Annette Bening, Patricia Clarkson, Meryl Streep or Joan
Allen for a well-written role in which the character happened to be a
grandmother, I expect she'd give it serious consideration.

Clooney hopes to shine light on 'hard' journalism
25/03/2005 - 07:23:30
George Clooney hopes his new movie Goodnight, and Good Luck will prompt a
renewed respect for "good hard" journalism.
The Hollywood actor is directing and appearing in the film, which tells the
story of broadcaster Edward R Murrow and his on-air confrontations with
Senator Joseph McCarthy.
And Clooney, whose father Nick Clooney was a journalist and anchorman on and
off for 40 years, hopes the film will display the fundamentals of true
journalism.
He says: "(I want the film to show) good hard news is not antiquated and
hard journalism can exist. (Television) news has now become entertainment
instead of a service. I'm allowed to say it, because of my background.
"(My father) would come home and tell us how they wanted to stress the
make-up and wardrobe."
Robert Downey Jr, Ray Wise, Tate Donovan, Jeff Daniels, David Strathairn and
Patricia Clarkson are among the film's cast.
