Felicity Jones found out she was pregnant after being cast, and George Clooney simply rewrote her part to accommodate. "I did get to sit down a lot, which was a real joy," says Jones. It ultimately adds layers of jeopardy and hope to the story. Clooney revealed to us that, 'The fact that Felicity ended up being pregnant.... gave us something that now feels like we should have done it all along, which is to have this other through line, this future, going through it.'"

The idea of a previously undiscovered moon of Jupiter is totally unrealistic. Galileo Galilei was already looking at the moons of Jupiter over 400 years ago and since then there have been multiple probes in the Jovian system which would have easily detected such a large object. Even more unrealistic is that it would have a breathable atmosphere and be warm enough for human habitation. See more »

I'm afraid we didn't do a very good job of looking after the place while you were away.

Just a mess of disparite scenes stitched together with little or no narrative. The movie doesn't know what it is trying to be and therefore ends up being nothing new or interesting.
I saw this in a cinema as I was hoping it would be a more immersive experience than waiting for it on Netflix. I have fallen alseep three times in a cinema. This was one of those films.
George Clooney is a good actor and director. Good Night, and Good Luck is one of my favourite films. This was just a disaster.
