George Clooney appears at 4th Annual Dubai International Film Festival
Posted on December 10th, 2007 by Hot Momma
Stars from all over the world descended on multicultural Dubai on Sunday for the start of a film festival that sees itself as a bridge between East and West. George Clooney, was on the red carpet to support the opening film “Michael Clayton”, about a conflicted lawyer working for a chemical firm, said film was a great way to boost understanding among cultures.”We have to get to the point where we understand each other a bit more… art is a great way of doing that,” Clooney said.
“I said I would come back when we were working on Syriana and they were kind enough to let us shoot that film here.”
Parts of Syriana, a political thriller about a fictional oil-rich Arab state, were filmed in the United Arab Emirates. Dealing with terrorism, poor labourers, oil and Western policy, it drew both praise and criticism in the West and the Arab world.
My jaw dropped when I saw the caption for the picture here, which read “Actor George Clooney (R) with fiancee Sarah Larson pose backstage before attending a press…” However Clooney’s rep, assured there is no engagement. It was just a mistake on the agency’s part. Darn!
