The Big Picture

  • George Clooney narrowly avoided being involved in the critical and commercial flop that was Jack Frost, a film with a creepy premise and poorly executed special effects.
  • Clooney's decision to star in Batman & Robin instead turned out to be a better career move, as the campy nature of the film allowed him to mock his performance and avoid being associated with a truly bad film.
  • While Jack Frost hindered Michael Keaton's career, his subsequent resurgence in films like Birdman allowed him to redeem himself, and his portrayal of Batman is more fondly remembered than Clooney's.
