Clooney looks to boost earthquake hit area in Italy

When your second home get by a tragedy, I guess it’s only natural to want to help.  Actor and do gooder, George Clooney, who lives part time in the Lake Como area of Italy, is doing what he can to help L’Aquila, the area that wa by the earthquake in April this year.

In a press conference earlier, Clooney, with actor Bill Murray at his side,  committed to helping out the area as only film makers can, by filming a movie there!

“We’ll shoot a film here at the end of September, in which I will act,” he said, though he didn’t name the film. “I think this is the best way to lend a hand and boost the economy.”

That’s great for them to do!   I just hope the people of the area are agreeable to this.    Especially with the increase in photogs now that filming will be happening there.
