CINCINNATI (AP) — George Clooney’s new film will begin shooting next month and require “hundreds of extras.”
Kristen Erwin, the head of the regional film commission in Cincinnati and northern Kentucky, says scenes for “Ides of March” will be shot in more than two dozen locations.
Clooney directs and stars as a Democratic governor running in the presidential primaries. The film also stars Ryan Gosling, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, Paul Giamatti and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Erwin told The Cincinnati Enquirer on Monday that no release date has been set for the film but that Clooney’s Smokehouse Pictures plans to open a production office in the area.
Clooney’s father, Nick, has worked as a TV news anchor in Cincinnati and also wrote a newspaper column there.
