Roberts’s last cinematic offering was the movie “America’s Sweethearts”, that was in 2001. Now back on the rom-com scene, she is smiling her angelic smile at the Cannes Film Festival.
My movie with George Clooney is too good to be good - Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts was the queen of romantic comedies, bringing us such cinematic gems as “Pretty Woman” and “Notting Hill” then, when at the top of her game, she took a break for 20 years, but now she is back but unconvinced that her new movie is any good.
Roberts, half-jokingly, says that her reunion with George Clooney in the upcoming film “Ticket to Paradise” has “too much potential for it to be great.”
“I think it’s so funny and George is so funny, and George and I together, it’s probably going to be terrible because there’s too much potential for it to be great, it’ll just implode on it itself,” joked Roberts.
“I think that should be the commercial for the movie: ‘It’s probably going to be terrible.’ I’m so glad my publicist is on a plane right now.”
The Clooney-Roberts movie also stars Kaitlyn Dever as their daughter, whom the two legendary actors are trying to stop from marrying someone she “just met.”
This sounds like a Father of the Bride movie, without the presence of Steve Martin but with all the comedic chops that he brings to any movie since Roberts and Clooney are no slouches in the rom-com genre.
Clooney and Roberts have worked together previously having both co-starred in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Eleven, and Money Monster.
However, Ticket to Paradise, coming out in October 2022, will be their first rom-com together.
