  • Five Lessons the New George Clooney Movie Money Monster Teaches Us About Crisis Communications
    Crisis comms to the extreme: Lee Gates' (George Clooney) life depends on what Diane Lester (Caitriona Balfe) says in this live cross Sep 09, 2016 09:16 +08 Five lessons the new George Clooney movie Money Monster teaches us about crisis communications There's a particularly tense scene in the new George Clooney movie "Money Monster", which should be of great interest to media spokespeople who are confronted with a crisis situation. Clooney, playing fictional financial TV host Lee Gates (here's lookin' at you, Jim Cramer) is threatened live on air by a gunman, who lost his life savings investing in troubled Ibis Clear Capital after it announced a big loss. Gates had recommended the algotrading company's stock on his show. Gates' down-the-line guest, Ibis' Chief Communications Officer Diane Lester (Caitriona Balfe), delivers rehearsed holding statements to the camera in a live cross. The gunman doesn't buy it, putting Gates' life perilously in danger. Gates' producer Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts), commenting in Gates' earpiece from the TV control room, doesn't buy it either. The dialogue goes something like this (spoiler alert!): Gates (to camera): We're going to talk to Diane Lester, she's the PR lady… Fenn (in his earpiece): She's the CCO. Gates: …the Chief Communications Officer at Ibis. Diane? Lester (to camera): First, let me start off by saying on behalf of everyone here at Ibis, we are prepared to do whatever we can to get you to put down that gun, Mr Budwell. Now, I understand that you have offered to compensate him for his losses personally, Lee? Well, we are absolutely willing to do the same if it helps to put an end to all this.
