George Clooney leapt into action at the Venice Film Festival, turning a potential disaster into a memorable moment and further cementing his status as a true Hollywood legend.

AceShowbiz - Hollywood superstar George Clooney, 63, made headlines at the Venice Film Festival premiere of his new film "Wolfs" when he sprung into action to assist a fallen photographer. Accompanied by his wife, Amal Clooney, the Oscar-winning actor showed his quick reflexes and kind-hearted nature by helping the photographer to his feet.

As Clooney extended a helping hand, his 46-year-old spouse, Amal, looked on with concerns. She radiated elegance in a stunning yellow corset dress that featured delicate lace and a dramatic ruffled skirt. Completing her glamorous look with voluminous blow-dried hair and a glitzy clutch, Amal stood by as George added his signature charm to the situation by making hilarious faces for the cameras and even taking a few photos himself.

In "Wolfs," Clooney reunites with Brad Pitt, with the duo playing criminal "clean up" specialists hired to dispose of a body in a hotel room. Despite initial reports suggesting both actors demanded $35 million each for their roles, Clooney clarified that the actual compensation was significantly lower. He also expressed disappointment over the film's limited theatrical release.

"It's a bummer, of course it's a bummer, but a lot of people are going to see the film and we are getting a release in a few hundred theatres," Clooney said. "We would have liked that and Brad and I gave some of our salary back to do that."

The film, which insiders claim cost up to $200 million, will enjoy a brief one-week cinematic run in the US before transitioning to streaming globally. This makes "Wolfs" the most expensive TV film ever produced. The decision by Apple to limit its theatrical release comes after several costly streaming-exclusive films underperformed at the box office including "Napoleon," "Killers of the Flower Moon," and "Argylle."

Both Clooney and Pitt acknowledge the evolving landscape of film distribution, with Pitt remarking, "I love the existence of the streamers because we get to see more stories, more talent, and it gets seen by more eyes as well but it's a delicate balance." Clooney added, "The economics of streaming are still being 'figured out.' We need Apple and Amazon and they need Sony or Warners who have been doing it for 100 years."

The longtime friends and collaborators are reportedly planning a sequel, with Pitt emphasizing the importance of working with people he enjoys spending time with, saying, "as I have gotten older, working with people who I enjoy spending time with has become really important to me."

As Clooney and Pitt continue to dominate Hollywood with their undeniable chemistry and charisma, fans eagerly await the next chapter in their storied partnership.
