Ohio business journal could appear in new Clooney movie

Caleb Stephens, the managing editor of the Dayton Business Journal, writes that the American City Business Journals paper could make a cameo in the new George Clooney movie “Ides of March.”

Stephens writes, “The political thriller, set for theaters nationwide Oct. 7, was shot earlier this year around Southwest Ohio, including in Oxford at Miami University.

“Before filming started, production officials contacted the Dayton Business Journal to possibly include the paper in certain scenes. It is unclear whether the DBJ will appear or not.

“The movie centers around an Ohio presidential primary with Clooney playing Ohio’s governor and Ryan Gosling as his idealistic staffer.

“The Sony film, also directed by Clooney, has received strong reviews from the film festival circuit.”
