At the ongoing Venice Film Festival, the highly anticipated thriller *Wolfs*—featuring Hollywood heavyweights Brad Pitt and George Clooney—was met with a rapturous four-minute standing ovation. This enthusiastic reception highlighted the festival’s excitement for the film and underscored the stars' enduring appeal.
During the event, both Pitt and Clooney were visibly moved by the audience’s warm response. They embraced each other in celebration and even performed a spontaneous dance, reflecting their genuine pleasure at the film’s reception. Their interaction with the crowd, characterized by heartfelt gestures and shared moments of joy, added a personal touch to the evening’s festivities.
The premiere was notably delayed by over 30 minutes due to the large number of fans eager to see their favorite stars. This delay was a testament to the high level of anticipation surrounding *Wolfs*. Prior to the screening, photos and videos of Pitt and Clooney engaging with the audience, signing autographs, and enjoying the event were widely shared on social media, fueling further excitement and admiration.
Audience members were enthusiastic in their praise of the actors. One fan commented on the duo’s ageless charm, saying, "Both are very handsome men. Getting older agrees with them." Another highlighted the authenticity of Pitt and Clooney despite their superstar status, noting, "It’s cool to see that humans are still humans. Insecure. Even as actors. Who is used to attention? They are still normal people. I did a movie with Clooney. Coolest most normal guy ever. I can tell cool stories. Maybe another time. I love to see stars whose feet haven’t left the ground." Another admirer succinctly expressed their support, saying, "Love that they are working together."
*Wolfs* also stars Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, and Poorna Jagannathan, further enhancing the film’s appeal. With its release scheduled for September 27 in India, the film is already generating significant buzz following its successful debut at the Venice Film Festival. The strong positive reception at the festival suggests that *Wolfs* will be a major draw for audiences when it opens in cinemas later this month.
