George Clooney, Annette Bening to Star in Pro-Assisted-Suicide Movie
National Review ^ | October 17, 2025 | Wesley J. Smith

Two A-List Hollywood actors will star in a pro-assisted-suicide movie. From the Hollywood Reporter story:

George Clooney and Annette Bening will star in In Love, an adaptation of Amy Bloom’s New York Times best-selling memoir In Love: A Memoir of Love and Loss that is to be directed by Paul Weitz. . . .

With In Love, Bloom wrote about how her she slowly lost her husband to Alzheimer’s, how the two made the decision to travel to Switzerland to end his life, and the struggle to move forward as a widow. The book was an affirmation of love and the power of relationships. It was also named TIME Magazine’s No. 1 best nonfiction book and included on their list of 100 must-read books.

Of course! To Big Time Hollywood, adjacent glitterati, and much of the mainstream media, truly loving someone with Alzheimer’s means being willing to help them become dead rather than caring for them as long as they live.

This is almost trite. How many pro-euthanasia movies/TV episodes have there been? It’s hard to keep count. How many anti-assisted-suicide/pro-care projects? Honestly, I can’t think of one even though there are plenty of dramatic stories illustrating the abuses and dangers just waiting to be told.

R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., founder of the American Spectator magazine, coined a term kulturesmog, meaning “ideas that are incompatible with traditional American social, cultural, and economic ideals.” That term sure seems apt here.


TOPICS: TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: annettebening; clooney; euthanasia; prolife
First Hollyweird glorifies abortion now this. I'm sick to my stomach right now in more ways than you all could know.

Jesus come back soon please.

A true ‘method’ actor would just follow through...

So I guess we’ll now find out just how committed these two are to their chosen profession.

In a true demonstration of liberal hypocrisy nd ego, I’m sure neither one of these two would want this for themselves should the situation arise.

This is brain washing

A government so involved in our healthcare and other finances simple benefits from its citizens’ deaths.

Esp people paying less taxes than the working stiffs, upon whom all financing of non working people - criminals, welfare queens, illegals- depends

DiCaprio should be the patient that wants to die. Remember Gilbert Grape? My ex-wife thought he was retarded in real life.
