hoos chew funny?. If any of the effects looked cheesy, the whole movie would look cheesy, said Clooney, who directed the film and stars in it. We simply dont have enough people to work enough hours to finish it. By moving into 2014, Monuments Men will be ineligible for the upcoming Academy Awards. But Clooney said Oscar attention was never his goal for the film, which he and Heslov adapted from Robert Edsels nonfiction book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History. All weve ever said, from the very beginning, is that we wanted to make a commercial, non-cynical piece of entertainment, Clooney said. He said the intention was to make an ensemble film in the style of The Guns of Navarone. In addition to Clooney, the film stars Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Jean Dujardin, John Goodman and Cate Blanchett. It was filmed in Germany and England earlier this year. Clooney and Heslov still are the producers of another movie with Oscar ambitions, director John Wells’ adaptation of the play “August: Osage County.” That film is scheduled to open Dec. 25.
