US Edition‘Jay Kelly’ — with George Clooney playing a Clooney-esque movie star — lands in Venice
The film satirizes celebrity culture and explores identity, featuring an ensemble cast led by George Clooney; it is a Netflix production debuting at the renowned festival.
- On Thursday night at the Venice Film Festival on the Lido, Noah Baumbach directed and co-wrote the Netflix-produced film 'Jay Kelly,' starring George Clooney as a Clooney-esque movie star.
- Noah Baumbach had long wanted to work with George Clooney and conceived the role with him in mind, returning recently to the Lido after his Don DeLillo adaptation 'White Noise'.
- The ensemble includes Adam Sandler as Jay's manager, Laura Dern as the publicist and Billy Crudup as the talented classmate, while Noah Baumbach praised Sandler's grace and their past collaboration as a gift.
