Ticket to Paradise marks their return to the romantic comedy, a genre neither star has stepped into in over 20 years.<\/p>\n
However, judging by the trailer which has landed for the new movie, they are very much not in love.\u00a0\u201cWorst 19 years of my life,\u201d remarks Clooney\u2019s character in the trailer, as he references his disastrous marriage with Roberts\u2019s character.<\/p>\n
Clooney and Roberts play\u00a0contentious exes forced to call a truce to stop their\u00a0daughter from making the same mistake they did 25 years ago by marrying someone they just met.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur daughter\u2019s gonna marry a guy she just met, in Bali, millions of miles from home,\u201d Clooney laments in the trailer.<\/p>\n
Clooney and Roberts also serve as producers on the movie, while\u00a0Ol Parker (Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again) directed and co-wrote the script with Daniel Pipski, which was apparently partly to thank for luring Clooney into the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis guy named Ol Parker is a really wonderful writer and director, and he wrote us a script,\u201d\u00a0Clooney told Deadline<\/a> back in January 2022. \u201cAnd I haven\u2019t done a romantic comedy really since One Fine Day. \u2026 I\u2019ve done some sort of snarky ones, you know, and in this one Julia and I just get to be mean to each other in the funniest way.\u201d<\/p>\n And Clooney\u2019s involvement was then key to getting Roberts on board.<\/p>\n Clooney went on to say that he called Roberts after reading the script to ask if she was going to sign on to the film. \u201cShe goes, \u2018Are you going to do it?\u2019 and I said, \u2018Yeah, if you do it.\u2019 So, it was just one of those very lucky things,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about Clooney and Roberts\u2019s new movie.<\/p>\n Ticket to Paradise is set to land in cinemas on 21st October 2022 in the US.<\/p>\n UK audiences won\u2019t have to wait quite so long, with the movie\u2019s release date set for 16th September in the\u00a0UK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The movie was filmed in Queensland, Australia, in late 2021 and initially had a September release date, but this was pushed back in early 2022 after production delays occurred due to Covid-19.<\/p>\n Clooney and Roberts lead the cast alongside Kaitlyn Dever, who portrays their daughter Lily.<\/p>\n We don\u2019t have specific names or any further details about Clooney and Roberts\u2019s characters as yet, but we\u2019ll update this page as soon as we do.<\/p>\n The cast is rounded out by Maxime Bouttier, Lucas Bravo (Emily in Paris<\/a>), Amanda O\u2019Dempsey, Rowan Chapman, Murran Kain and Vanesa Everett.<\/p>\n Following news of her casting, Roberts insisted the fact she hasn\u2019t been in a romcom for around 20 years isn\u2019t deliberate.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople sometimes misconstrue the amount of time that\u2019s gone by that I haven\u2019t done a romantic comedy as my not wanting to do one,\u201d she\u00a0told\u00a0Vanity Fair.<\/a><\/p>\n She continued: \u201cIf I had read something that I thought was that\u00a0Notting Hill\u00a0level of writing or\u00a0My Best Friend\u2019s Wedding\u00a0level of madcap fun, I would do it. They didn\u2019t exist until this movie that I just did that Ol Parker wrote and directed.\u201d<\/p>\nTicket to Paradise movie release date<\/strong><\/h2>\n
