Fans got a glimpse at Julia Roberts and George Clooney’s new movie “Ticket to Paradise.”
Roberts and Clooney have teamed up for another film, their first since the duo last worked together six years ago. “Ticket to Paradise” also marks the first romantic comedy for Roberts in 20 years.
The film features Roberts and Clooney as two long-divorced parents who come together in order to stop their daughter from impulsively marrying a man she just met.

JULIA ROBERTS SAYS BEING A ‘HOMEMAKER’ CONTRIBUTED TO HER 20-YEAR ABSENCE FROM ROMANTIC COMEDIES
“Worst 19 years of my life,” Clooney said in the trailer.
Roberts responded: “We were only married for five.”
“I’m including the recovery,” he quipped back.
The “Pretty Woman” actress recently explained why she has not filmed a rom-com in recent years during an interview with the New York Times.
“Ticket to Paradise” is the first time the two have worked together since 2016 and the first rom-com Roberts has done in the past 20 years.

“People sometimes misconstrue the amount of time that’s gone by that I haven’t done a romantic comedy as my not wanting to do one,” Roberts told the outlet. “If I had read something that I thought was that ‘Notting Hill’ level of writing or ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ level of madcap fun, I would do it. They didn’t exist until this movie that I just did that Ol Parker wrote and directed.”
“But even with that, I thought, Well, disaster, because this only works if it’s George Clooney,” she continued. “Lo and behold, George felt it only worked with me. Somehow we were both able to do it, and off we went.”
The film will premiere in theaters on Oct. 21
