EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Here’s George Clooney Walking Around New York City In A Suicide Vest While Filming ‘Money Monster’

Working on Wall Street it’s impossible to know what you’ll find on your way to work. This morning, it was a shoot for Jodie Foster’s upcoming movie “Money Monster” starring George Clooney, Julia Roberts and due out later this year.

From IMDb:
Lee Gates is a TV personality whose insider tips have made him the money guru of Wall Street. When Kyle loses all of his family’s money on a bad tip, he holds Lee and his entire show hostage on air threatening to kill Lee if he does not get the stock up 24 and a half points before the bell. Ratings soar as the entire country tunes in to this media frenzy to find out just how much a man’s life is worth. Meanwhile, the hostage situation sheds light on a possible scandal involving the company in question. With elements of Dog Day Afternoon and Network,   Money Monster is a very timely piece in these economic times.

He's a bit cross!

Now that's an explosive scene! George Clooney rages on Money Monster set while wearing a suicide vest


He's normally charming and debonair.
But George Clooney looked raging mad as he rehearsed a scene for Money Monster on Wall Street in the New York district of Manhattan on Friday.
And it's little wonder. The 53-year-old plays Lee Gates, a financial TV personality who has been taken hostage and strapped into a suicide vest by disgruntled viewer Kyle Budwell after he loses all his money on one of Lee's tips.
 



Give me anger:George Clooney looked mad as hell as he rehearsed a scene for Money Monster on Wall Street in the New York district of Manhattan on Friday

Unless the financial guru can figure out a way to drive the stock market up before the closing bell, Kyle, played by Jack O'Connell, will detonate the bomb.
George rehearsed his rage face, clenching his fists and snarling, as the 24-year-old Brit and a member of the crew looked on before snapping back to his usual smiley self.
Aside from a grey vest packed with C4 plastic explosives, the star wore a blue-and-white striped shirt with the sleeves rolled up and top button undone, untucked from his dark grey slacks. 

Cashing in: The 53-year-old plays Lee Gates, a financial TV personality who has been taken hostage and strapped into a suicide vest by disgruntled viewer Kyle Budwell after he loses all his money on one of Lee's tips

That's more like it: George snapped back to his usual smiley self as he and Kyle listened to comments from a member of the crew. The film is being directed by Jodie Foster 



A blue and silver tie was loosened at the neck.
George had a warm blue jacket draped over his shoulders, which he took off when filming began.
Jack, 24, was kitted out in a khaki, zipped hoodie over a grey sweatshirt and green combat trousers. He brandished a gun as George cowered behind him. 




Shooting the scene: George cowered behind a gun-toting Kyle and both looked shocked at something 

The actors appeared to be continuing a scene they started on April 11.
Directed by 52-year-old Jodie Foster, Money Monster also stars Julia Roberts who plays a Financial News Network reporter with her camera crew outside the studio.
Filming got underway in New York City at the end of February, with a release date scheduled for some time in 2016 



They've already got an audience: A crowd gathered to watch the filming. Money Monster is due out in 2016

So fun to look at George in action.  It's got to be pretty damn chilly in NYC.  It's pretty breezy and very chilly in DC.  Thanks for sharing PAN.


Just saw the DM pics so I understand your comment that G looked cross.  George getting into character. Cool.

This is great!

I like this one hehhee

Me too Nicky. Looks like he's ready to morph into the Incredible Hulk!

Wow........A great set of pictures. 
Thanks everyone 

Just fancy being able to watch all the action from your 
office window !
Looks as if some above him called out a witty remark
from his and the "cops" response.
Nice to see.

Okay, here are more pics from the same day added by the Mail
