Clooney and Zellweger kick off p.r. tour for film in Duluth

Actors George Clooney and Renee Zellweger kicked off a whistle-stop tour in Duluth to promote their upcoming football comedy "Leatherheads." Although the movie was filmed in the Carolinas and not Duluth, ...

So, they let Hewitt into the press conference? They should have taken cue from the Expelled screening, and expelled him.

[Keith]

Who cares about those Hollywood liberals? Send them back.

[Agreed]

Lame. Go home.

[Snowball]

y'know, for a texan, that zellweger chick is sort of cute.

[Hack Mechanic]

"Loosely based on the Duluth Eskimos, one of the earliest pro football teams, "Leatherheads" features Clooney as a player for the Duluth Bulldogs and Zellweger as a reporter who takes a shine to him."

The Bulldogs, Chris?

The Bulldogs?

Once again, lazy reporting. Pay attention.

Geez.

I think Duluth should have snubbed the movie as the moviemaker snubbed them. When you start filming Minnesota movies in Minnesota, then we'll welcome you back for a promotional event. Not when you are so self-serving as this!

Yeah, it's cold in Duluth in February. So, start the filming in May! Oh, never mind, it's cold in Duluth in May too, isn't it?

[Molly]

For the effect it should have been filmed here. Too Bad. Now people here will say "oh, yah, that movie." At least FARGO WAS filmed Here and Dere. And Jingle all the Way, and the Mighty Ducks...Ducks!!Ducks!!Ducks!!D ucks!!Ducks!!Ducks!!

[Ray]

Wow, Renee Zellweger is even uglier than I thought she was.

[Angela]

I just wished there was more background on the story..Duluth?

[Angela]

Apparently I have to dig in some dirty moldy basements in city hall up here to find anything to learn about the Duluth Eskimos...the internet is limited..No prob...I will ask the residents there, perhaps something hot and some cash would ease my way by...

its not that they are snubbing minnesota. if you pay attention to all the promotions on leatherheads, it has to do with money issues as well. i do agree that it would be better filming it in MN, but then again, the movie is loosely based.

[its me]

Hack Mechanic, that's what the team's called in the movie - the Duluth Bulldogs. Pay attention.
