New TV Spots & Photo Of George Clooney From THE AMERICAN

Have a look at this new photo of George Clooney on the set of THE AMERICAN! Another helping of Clooney, this generation’s Cary Grant as far as I’m concerned, is always welcomed. Director Anton Corbijn has this latest picture and post in his blog:

Being a gun specialist requires special equipment and Jack managed to get the right tools from the right places in his small Italian hide-out. The photo shows him in his apartment amending some bullets for a special occasion. His apartment for the film was a great location; small but we used it all. It was an important place for me, for the film. The one where we sense his mindset the most, the place where Jack is seen at his most reflective.

Here are the latest TV spots for THE AMERICAN.

Synopsis:

Academy Award winner George Clooney stars in the title role of this suspense thriller, filmed on location in Italy. Alone among assassins, Jack (played by Mr. Clooney) is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact that his next assignment will be his last. Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde (Thekla Reuten of “In Bruges”), is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto (Italian stage and screen veteran Paolo Bonacelli) and pursues romance with local woman Clara (Italian leading lady Violante Placido). But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.
