,” set in the working-class neighborhood of Manhasset, Long Island, spans 15 years starting in 1973. In the film, which bows Dec. 17 in theaters, young JR Maguire, played by Daniel Ranieri, spends his time among family members: his mom , grandmother , grandfather and uncle Charlie , the last of whom owns a bar called The Dickens.
While the bar’s interiors were built on soundstages, Ivanov found the spot to stand in for the outside of the building at Jacob’s Corner in Beverly, Mass. The facade needed to be aged a few decades. “Cinematographer Martin Ruhe and I discussed how we would treat the exterior — we looked at the awning and the windows,” Ivanov says. Ruhe was leaning toward a neon sign above the awning, but Ivanov decided to change the existing awning and make it all neon.
With the family house , Ruhe and Ivanov discussed the color palette and how it would be shot. Clooney wanted the cameras to flow through the house. Ruhe says he used a Steadicam to follow Ranieri when audiences first see JR in the home. “It was important to stay with him and show it from his point of view,” Ruhe says.
