‘Jay Kelly’ Teaser: George Clooney Is A Movie Star Looking Inward In Noah Baumbach’s Venice-Bound Netflix Pic

TUSCANY, ITALY, AUG 4 – George Clooney stars as an aging movie icon confronting personal and professional challenges at an Italian film festival in a film inspired by real industry experiences.

  • On later this month, Netflix’s ‘Jay Kelly’ will world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, starring George Clooney and written by Noah Baumbach and Emily Mortimer.
  • Reading Vanity Fair, Baumbach described ‘Jay Kelly’ as a personal reset, after the $150M-costing ‘White Noise’ led to a quiet crisis, and Kelly began as his exercise to fall back in love with movies.
  • Less than 24 hours after reading the screenplay, Clooney said `I’m 63 years old, dude—I can’t do 50 takes`, rejecting Baumbach’s norm.
  • Already a contender, ‘Jay Kelly’ is building awards season momentum as Clooney’s last Oscar nomination was nearly 15 years ago, boosting his chances for a comeback.
  • After a two-week theatrical window, Netflix will begin streaming the film on December 5.
