George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s Compensation for ‘Wolfs’ Under Scrutiny
If you haven’t heard already, Brad Pitt and George Clooney, the dynamic duo from Ocean’s Eleven, have come together once again for a new action-comedy film, Wolfs. In this film, they portray two skilled ‘lone-wolf’ fixers who must collaborate to conceal a high-profile crime.
The film made its debut at the prestigious Venice Film Festival on Sunday. During a press conference preceding the global premiere, George Clooney addressed a recent report concerning the compensation he and Brad received for their roles in the film.
To shed some light on the matter, the New York Times, on August 25, published an article alleging that both Brad and George were paid “over $35 million each” for their roles in Wolfs. Furthermore, the film’s director, Jon Watts, was reportedly paid “over $15 million.”
These reports about Brad and George’s supposed salaries sparked a heated debate online. Fans began to question the sustainability of such hefty paychecks in the film industry, especially given the film’s limited theatrical release.
However, George Clooney has now refuted the figures quoted in the New York Times article, calling them inaccurate. He stated that what he and Brad actually received was “millions and millions and millions of dollars less than what was reported.”
During the same press conference, George also expressed his disappointment over the fact that Wolfs will not have a wide theatrical release. He described Apple’s revised strategy as a “bummer.”
