This is how George Clooney would like to you feel after seeing his new movie ‘The Midnight Sky’

George Clooney spoke to members of Philippine and Singapore press on Thursday morning via Zoom to talk about “The Midnight Sky,” his new movie to hit Netflix for which he headlines and has directed.

He had just finished speaking to the Korean press and tells us he’d “been doing this all day,” but there were no traces of fatigue on his face, his voice wasn’t strained. In fact he’s exactly as all those magazines say he is: Charming, handsome, cool, eloquent. 

He’s more than happy to talk about his new movie, “Midnight Sky,” which will hit Netflix on December 23.

In the post-apocalyptic movie, George plays the role of Augustine (George Clooney) a lonely scientist stationed in the arctic, racing to stop a group of astronauts from returning home.

It sounds heavy, and with George taking the lead part and directing the movie, it sounds next to impossible.

But the dashing actor told GMA News Online that “Midnight Sky” is actually a hopeful movie.

“This one experiment of mankind — humankind as I should say it — it’s worth it,” George said.

“It’s worth the effort. That’s what we try to say in the film. It’s worth fighting as hard as they do [to live in the movie ] because at times — we’re looking at a pandemic right now. It’s causing a lot of panic; it’s casing a lot of heartbreak. It’s causing a lot of anxiety. It’s scaring people.

"But we have to remember that everything we’re facing right now is man-made. And if it’s man-made, then that means man can unmake it. That's hopeful to me.”

In "The Midnight Sky," Augustine fights hard to stop a group of astronauts from returning to earth after a two-year voyage in space, because Earth had just suffered from a global catastrophe. 

According to George, “The Midnight Sky” should already be “a warning shot” for viewers.

“It’s a warning shot about what we’re capable of doing to one another if we don’t pay attention. It’s a warning shot about denying science. It’s a warning shout about creating divisiveness or hatred, or being unkind to one another, but it should also be hopeful.”

“The Midnight Sky” will start streaming on Netflix on December 23. — LA, GMA News
