IMDb speaks with the cast and crew of 'The Boys in the Boat'6 of 7
IMDb: This is your second sports film set in the 1920s/30s. What draws you to this time in history, or period pieces in general?
Clooney: Most of my career has been a period piece—I think maybe it's just because I'm old [laughs]. I like clean lines, with "Good Night and Good Luck," it was fairly straightforward black and white, that made it easier. So sometimes I like that kind of narrative, but in general it's just kind of haphazard, you know, I find the story. If this was a modern day film, but all the themes were the same, I would have still been thrilled to do it. So it wasn't about... trying to do an old fashion show.
