“Funny how your life can be upended just for telling the truth.” Magnolia has revealed the trailer for Good Night, and Good Luck: Live From Broadway, a taped version of the stage play from George Clooney. The original Good Night, and Good Luck movie opened in 2005 – it’s co-written by George Clooney, and directed by Clooney, the second feature film he directed (after Confessions of a Dangerous Mind in 2002). Clooney’s Tony-nominated, box-office record-breaking Broadway play chronicling a time in US history when legendary newsman Edward R. Murrow took an on-air stand against a growing tide of fearmongering and disinformation—and won. Their intro: “The recent government interference in Jimmy Kimmel Live and the dubious cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show have brought the embattled state of free speech to the forefront of America’s attention. For the first time since the one-time-only CNN broadcast this summer, audiences can experience this story of a free press under assault, and with it can join in a conversation about what it means to stand up above politics for that inalienable right to expression and information.” The cast in the play includes Clooney as Murrow (played by David Strathairn in the film), with Ilana Glazer, Glenn Fleshler, Clark Gregg, Carter Hudson, Paul Gross, Christopher Denham, & Fran Kranz. Even if you know the film, this looks like a must watch new version of this story. Catch it at home on VOD anytime.
