Julia Roberts and George Clooney romantic comedy ‘Ticket to Paradise’ halts production due to COVID
Baku, January 19, AZERTAC
Rising COVID-19 cases have led to the production shutdown of Universal’s Julia Roberts and George Clooney rom-com ‘Ticket to Paradise’, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The movie was filming in Queensland, Australia. The country, much like the rest of the world, is currently experiencing record-high levels of COVID infection and deaths amid the spread of the omicron variant.
The Daily Mail was the first to report the temporary shutdown, which THR has confirmed, saying that the movie had only two weeks left in filming. (THR has not confirmed the production timeline.)
Billie Lourd and Kaitlyn Dever also star in the film, which features Roberts and Clooney as a divorced couple who come together to stop their lovestruck daughter from making the mistake they once made. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again helmer Ol Parker is directing.
