The Boys In The Boat: First Look And Behind-the-Scenes Featurette
MGM has released a first look behind-the-scenes featurette and images for The Boys in the Boat, directed by George Clooney.
George Clooney is directing another film that looks like it was made for the awards season this year. The problem is, the last time he did that was with The Tender Bar, and it felt like he made every by-the-book directing choice that you could make. Now he's doing a sports drama based on a true story. There are certain things you expect from films like this, and it very much looks like we're going to get everything we expect. Clooney is a fantastic actor who can bring genuine empathy to the people he plays; now we have to see if he can do that from behind the camera and have his first excellent film while directing. Today, we got a first-look featurette that explains the story we will be learning about, four images, and two behind-the-scenes images.
