George Clooney Checks the Accounts
Superstar duo Brad Pitt and George Clooney reunite on screen for a thriller Wolves by Jon Watts, is certainly of great value. You don’t have to look back at their respective filmographies to know that they are icons of cinema from the 90s and as such have certain salary expectations. But according to George Clooney, the figures put forward by New York Times end of August, as far as their rates for Wolvesthey are very far from reality.
“Millions, millions and millions of dollars less”
According to sources from the prestigious American newspaper, in fact, Brad Pitt and George Clooney were each paid more than they should have been. $35 millionand Jon Watts more than 15 million dollars. More than the personal remuneration of these talents, it is the specific economy of the giant Apple that interests the author of the article, the company that spends generously to attract the biggest stars in front of and behind the camera. Without systematically guaranteeing the release of its very expensive productions in theaters… But this reference to their personal compensation has nevertheless raised doubts in George Clooney, who spoke about it at the Venice Film Festival where the film was presented.
Whatever the source of our compensation, it is actually millions and millions and millions of dollars less than what was announced (in the article, ed.). And I say that only because I think it is bad for our industry to suggest that this should become a standard in terms of salaries. I think it is very serious and will make it impossible to make a film.
While Brad Pitt is very discreet about his political views on the direction Hollywood is taking, George Clooney is not. He was involved and publicly positioned during the SAG-AFTRA strike, campaigning for fairer and more equitable pay. He estimated in July 2023 that “a large number of actors and screenwriters have lost the ability to earn a living.”
