Truce on Pranks during Gravity Filming

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney Had a Truce Not to Prank Each Other on Gravity


Sandra Bullock came to Comic-Con to talk about her upcoming film set in space, Gravity, in which she and Geroige Clooney are the only onscreen actors. In the press conference for the movie, Bullock talked about working with Clooney, who's famous for his on-set pranks, and why they had to have a truce not to prank each other on this particular film. She also talked about using real astronauts as references for her character, while Gravity director Alfonso Cuarón, who was also in the conference with Bullock, talked about what he's hoping to show with the astronauts-in-peril movie.

Bullock said that she and Clooney did not prank each other on set, because they established a truce at the beginning of shooting. "There was a truce . . . this film was so hard, pranks had no place. We had no downtime. How are you going to prank someone who's hanging from a scaffolding where twelve wires are rigged up all day? We had a truce from the very get-go because that just wasn't the appropriate place to prank someone."

Cuarón clarified that the truce was only between Clooney and Bullock, but he wasn't spared. "They [just] decided not to prank each other," to which Bullock interjected, "We didn't prank you, we just made fun of you." Cuarón added, "So that was how they entertained themselves."

Clooney and Bullock's astronaut characters are stranded in space, and Cuarón had a clear vision for the sci-fi film. "The goal was for the film to feel like one of those IMAX documentaries that went absolutely wrong," he said.
Bullock's resources for the film included actual astronauts, whom she called and emailed in space. "They were so excited about the vantage point that this film was taking, which was the same that they have, which is a great love for the program because of what they get to see and admire about our planet and the universe around them. It's such an organic love that they have. It's not just adventurers going up in pods and they [just] love the technology. They have a deep, deep love for our planet and civilization and what we're wasting. Those were the nice conversations to have." She added with a laugh, "So that gave it an emotional gravity."

That's an interesting article thanks SG.
My husband is a fan of Sandra so we may make the effort to see Gravity in the cinema instead of waiting for the Bluray to drop through the letter box !
Not in 3D though, not good for my eyes.

'We just made fun of you'

Is this a way to show .... What?

Thanks SG for the Artical.

@ It's me, George and Sandra didn't prank each other but instead they made fun of director Alfonso Cuarón on the set to entertain themselves LOL

I perfectly understand, thanks
The thing is I don't like to prank ppl
It's rude sometimes


Is  G the major prankster?
Yes, I perfectly know that too

G is the major prankster which makes him to a little gangster  

As long people can laugh about it I think it's ok. I guess he knows his barriers, I hope LOL

Hmmm.... I hope also pranked will enjoy, at the end
This could be the only way to make it acceptable

 It's always done as a sign of affection I'd imagine.

Hmmm a very tortuous way to express it, I guess...

A tortuous, convoluted plan to carry out his torturous pranks...


Seriously, though. George probably, usually dishes it out to those he thinks can take it.
Not the super-sensitive or naive.  Nor austere types who can be humorless.
I assume most of the time he's quite sophisticated & relaxed,  then he comes undone every so often, and playful George emerges.
The prankster....The practical joker... 

Laughter is the best therapy sometimes... so he may want to entertain & bring cheer.

Perfect to me too
But please not at someone else expense


Well, I know, I will never have the right in that case

OMG, Joanna! Can Millie get any cuter! You're avatar enthralls me! I just love that little critter! What a cutie pa-tootie?!

Okay, the Warden just came in and told me it was time to go back to my cell and lay on my right side.........

Oh, Lakin! You know it makes sense really............

Boring. But sensible

Millie says thank you X XX

Hope you haven't got bed sores on 
your right side Lakin with all that lying around ?
Take care.....x

And if you do Lakin, have the Warden give you a nice rub down!

Here is a thought, do you think George Clooneys love life has been one big long extended prank HA

Are you implying he is gay?

Who me?? Never ever would imply that, he is not that. No I meant as a joke he is pranking the public with his girlfriends, that's all

How can he explain such joke?

No he cant really - I was just being cheeky, I don't really think he is pranking anyone with his love life choices

Mmmmm..... Ok

It would be puerile humor to do such a thing at the risk of his own happiness for so long.
On the other hand, he could have selected them for shock value media coverage given their controversial image.
And the process of trying to change their "style" formula that ensues....


I doubt he'd stoop to that. Or would he?

Risk of his own happiness
Right
