Amal Clooney looks incredible in a corseted gown with a dramatic ruffled skirt as she supports her husband George at the Wolfs premiere during the 81st Venice Film Festival.

Amal Clooney looked incredible as she attended the 81st Venice Film Festival alongside her husband George.

Walking the red carpet for the premiere of her latest film Wolfs, the 46-year-old human rights lawyer stunned in a yellow corset-style dress.

Amal’s dress was crafted from delicate lace and was fitted at the waist before falling into a dramatic ruffled skirt.

She styled her hair with a voluminous blow-dry and carried a sparkly clutch bag to complete her glamorous look.

Wrapping her arm around George, 63, the couple looked as in love as ever as they posed for photos at the highly-anticipated event.

In the film, George teams up with Brad Pitt to play two criminal “cleanup” specialists who are unexpectedly hired for the same job: disposing of a dead body in a hotel room.

Stars Brad and George were reportedly paid $35 million each to star in the adventure film, and had insisted on releasing it in theaters.

But Apple’s creators changed their minds and the film, which according to sources close to the film cost up to 200 million dollars in total, will now only be released in US cinemas for one week.

In all other territories it will be streamed directly, making it easily the most expensive TV movie ever made.

Apple’s about-face follows a string of expensive films made by the streaming service, including Napoleon, Killers of the Flower Moon and Argylle, which all flopped in theaters.

Clooney denied his fee was worth $35 million, saying the actual figure was “many, many millions below” that amount.

But he added that it was a “shame” the way it had all played out. He said: “We would have liked to, we wanted to, and Brad and I gave back part of our salary to do it. We’ve had a few bumps in the road, and that happens.”

“It’s a shame, of course it’s a shame, but a lot of people are going to see the film and we’re going to release it in a few hundred cinemas. It would have been nice to be able to release it more widely.”

He said the economics of streaming are still being “figured out” but added: “We’re figuring out how it works. We need Apple and Amazon and they need Sony or Warner, who have been doing this for a hundred years.”

Pitt said: “I love the existence of streamers because we get to see more stories, more talent and more eyes seeing them, but it’s a delicate balance.”

Asked why a movie with two big stars was going straight to the streaming platform, Clooney replied seriously: “We’re clearly in decline.”

The two men have been friends for decades and last worked together 15 years ago on the film Burn After Reading.

Clooney said: ‘In Burn After Reading I had the immense pleasure of shooting him in the face and we thought maybe we’d try it 15 years later.

Brad and I have been doing this separately and together for a long time. For a while it worked pretty well. I felt like those jokes, the way we go at each other all the time, just felt easy.

The two men are now planning to star in a sequel and Pitt said: “We thought there had to be a good reason to do a movie together, something we could build on. I also have to say that as I’ve gotten older, working with people I enjoy spending time with has become very important to me.”

Apple, which financed the project, spent more than £1m to hire out the entire Cipriani hotel to Pitt, Clooney and friends for the weekend.

These friends include Clooney’s agent Bryan Lourd, who accompanied Amal to dinner on Saturday night, and Apple boss Tim Cook, who previously spent time with the Clooneys at their holiday home on Lake Como.

Among them is film director Jon Watt, who was absent after contracting Covid while in Venice and has now flown home.
