00:00 Hollywood icon George Clooney will make his Broadway acting debut next year with Good
00:05 Night and Good Luck. In the stage version of the 2005 film that won Clooney nods for
00:12 both writing and direction and placed him amongst the best picture contenders, he will
00:18 portray the renowned TV journalist Edward R. Murrow. I am honoured after all these years
00:23 to be coming back to the stage and especially to Broadway, the art form and the venue that
00:29 every actor aspires to," George said in the press release. In addition to directing the
00:36 2005 picture, Clooney also portrayed Fred "The View" Friendly, who collaborated with
00:42 David Strathairn as producer of Edward Murrow's television show See It Now. Six Academy Awards
00:49 were nominated for the movie, including Best Picture. Additionally, Heslov and Clooney
00:55 collaborated on Suburbicon, The Monuments Men and The Ideas of March. The production
01:01 will be directed by David Cromer, who was awarded a Tony Award for his work on the band's
01:06 visit. Edward R. Murrow operated from a kind of moral clarity that feels vanishingly rare
01:13 in today's media landscape. There was an immediacy in those early live television broadcasts
01:19 that today can only be effectively captured on stage in front of a live audience, David
01:25 said. Clooney will make an appearance in the 2024-2025 season, which also marks Robert
01:33 Downey Jr.'s Broadway debut.
01:35 "I think it's a really good movie," said Cromer. "It's a really good movie. It's a really good movie."
