Actor
George
Clooney,
awaiting
the
release
of
his
new
film,
"Tomorrowland",
says
he
loved
the
film's
optimism
and
so
he
decided
to
go
for
it.
"I'm
not
a
very
cynical
guy,
but
I
like
doing
cynical
films.
This
was
one
that
felt
like
there
was
none
of
that
and
sort
of
clean
of
all
those
kinds
of
things.
I
thought
it
would
be
fun
to
do," Clooney
said
in
a
statement.
In
the
film,
Clooney
plays
a
jaded,
surly,
reclusive
scientist
who
was
once
a
wide-eyed
boy
genius.
He
teams
up
with
a
curious
teenager
who
has
a
thirst
for
the
scientific
world.
Their
adventure
gives
a
look
into
the
future,
including
both
the
good
and
the
bad.
The
answers
for
a
better
world
may
exist
in
this
other
worldly
place
called
Tomorrowland.
The
54-year-old
actor
is
part
of
the
action
in
this
movie,
but
he
says
he's
no
longer
the
"guy"
who
hits
away.
"I
used
do
in
my
30s,
I
would
do
a
film
with
some
action
in
it
where
I
get
to
punch
some
guy,
knock
him
out
and
walk
away.
Now,
I'm
the
guy
that
gets
punched
and
dropped,"
Clooney
said.
Directed
by
Brad
Bird,
the
Disney
film
also
stars
Hugh
Laurie,
Britt
Robertson,
Raffey
Cassidy,
Tim
McGraw,
Kathryn
Hahn,
Keegan-Michael
Key
and
Thomas
Robinson.
"Tomorrowland"
will
hit
theatres
on
May
22.
