oodles of actors regret taking on one role or another — but few go as far as George Clooney , who actually hang a picture of himself as Batman conspicuously in his office to prompt himself what occur when you make a flick for purely commercial reasons .
This absorbing Clooney tidbit comes out in a new Deadline consultation , where Clooney spar with hedge fund investor Daniel Loeb , who has a post in Sony and is worried that Sony recede money on After Earth and White House Down , which he called “ 2013′s version of Waterworld and Ishtar . ” Loeb want Sony to spin off its entertainment division into a disjoined stock , citing an upcoming slating of releases that includes RoboCop , Amazing Spider - Man 2 , and the next James Bond motion-picture show as “ bleak ” and rife with overspending .
Clooney fired back , narrate Deadline :
I ’ve been reading a tidy sum about Daniel Loeb , a hedge investment trust guy who describes himself as an militant but who knows nothing about our business , and he is looking to take scalp at Sony because two movies in a row underperformed ? When does the clock blockade and protrude for him at Sony ? Why did n’t he include Skyfall , the 007 motion-picture show that gross a billion dollars , or Zero Dark Thirty or Django Unchained ? And what about the residue of a year that include Elysium , Captain Phillips , American Hustle and The Monuments Men ? You ca n’t cherry clean a small clock time menstruation and betoken to two films that did n’t do bang-up . It makes me crazy . as luck would have it , this business is run by people who see that the picture show occupation ebb and flows and the skilful news is they are ignoring his call to spin off the amusement assets . How any hedgerow fund guy can call for responsibility is beyond me , because if you expect at those guys , there is no conscience at body of work . It is a job that is only about creating riches , where when they fail , they get bailed out and where nobody gets fired . A bozo from a hedge fund entity is the individual least restricted someone to be make these kind of judgments , and he is dangerous to our industry .
At the same metre , you have to assume those kinds of conversations are going on all over the blank space after the summertime we ’ve just had . [ Deadline ]
