The iconic *Out of Sight* co-stars reconnect at the premiere of Clooney’s Broadway debut, *Good Night, and Good Luck*, blending nostalgia, new roles, and Hollywood history.
Hollywood royalty Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney gave fans a nostalgic thrill as they reunited at the New York premiere of Clooney’s new Broadway play, *Good Night, and Good Luck*, on Thursday night. The pair, who co-starred in the 1998 crime drama *Out of Sight*, were photographed together at the afterparty held at the New York Public Library—proving that their on-screen chemistry and real-life friendship remain as timeless as ever.
Clooney, who makes his Broadway debut with this production, has adapted the stage version from his Oscar-nominated 2005 film *Good Night, and Good Luck*, which he co-wrote and directed. In this new version, the *Michael Clayton* actor takes center stage—literally and symbolically—playing legendary CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow as he clashes with Senator Joseph McCarthy during the height of the Red Scare. The show is running on Broadway through June 8.
The premiere was a star-studded affair. Clooney was also seen catching up with his former *ER* castmates Julianna Margulies, Anthony Edwards, and Noah Wyle, delighting longtime fans of the beloved medical drama. The reunion was a full-circle moment, given that both *ER* and *Out of Sight* played critical roles in cementing Clooney’s A-list status in the late 1990s.
For Lopez, who played a relentless U.S. Marshal in *Out of Sight* opposite Clooney’s slick bank robber, the appearance comes during a high point in her own career. She’s set to star in the highly anticipated film adaptation of *Kiss of the Spider Woman*, a musical that premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and is expected to hit theaters this fall. The movie, which also stars Diego Luna and Tonatiuh, is based on the acclaimed 1992 stage musical, itself adapted from Manuel Puig’s 1976 novel. The story was first brought to the screen in 1985 in a non-musical film that won William Hurt an Academy Award.
*Entertainment Weekly*’s Dalton Ross praised *Good Night, and Good Luck* for staying true to its film origins, calling it “a pretty much verbatim retelling of the film, which is both a strength and a weakness.” Ross added that Clooney “acquits himself well,” bringing Murrow’s stoic composure to life with “defiant restraint.” The play employs a unique staging technique—Clooney delivers broadcasts to a camera, which then projects his image onto a massive screen above the stage—mirroring the television medium that Murrow helped define.
As Clooney transitions from silver screen icon to Broadway newcomer, and Lopez continues to challenge genre boundaries in film and music, their careers remain a testament to reinvention, versatility, and enduring star power.
Their *Out of Sight* reunion isn’t just a walk down memory lane—it’s a reminder of the legacy they’ve built, and how both continue to shape the future of entertainment.
