More on Fantastic Mr Fox

WHEN ROALD DAHL wrote “The Fan tastic Mr. Fox,” he had no idea he’d eventually make George Clooney so happy. George will the starring voice in Fox’s coming animated feature of Dahl’s story. While performing his chores a few weeks back, the studio put him up at the posh Sunset Marquis Hotel in a $7,000-a-night suite for an entire month. The hotel has its own sound studio, and so Clooney did voice-overs there instead of traveling from his house. (I have no idea where Cate Blanchett, Anjelica Huston, Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman will be sleeping while they record their voices for this movie.)
Clooney used a private screening room in the hotel to show sports events to his numerous buddies and even had the loan of a famed Gibson guitar in case any of the guys wanted to strum. The deal also included a private chef for the Clooney gang, the loan of a Bentley and George’s own private entrances in and out of his rooms.
OK, OK! So the stars - they aren’t “always” just like us. A few of them now and then get treated like movie stars. And George is one of the most deserving. (He is in Puerto Rico, getting a tan while shooting “The Men Who Stare at Goats.”)

This info seems quite strange to me. When George was interviewed about that film a few months ago (probably during Leatherheads’ promo) he said that it took him one day to record his voice. I doubt very much a studio would book an hotel for one month if the star had only one day of working…
