George Clooney toured the ruins of Italy's recent earthquake and told survivors he will shoot a film in their mountain region.
The actor inspected crumbled buildings during a visit on the sidelines of the G8 summit in L'Aquila.
The quake on April 6 left thousands homeless and killed nearly 300 people.
Italy is holding the summit there to show solidarity with the victims.
On Thursday Clooney visited a temporary camp for the homeless and kissed four women and shook hands with residents.
The actor said he will shoot part of a film in the area in September, which could help the local economy.
The movie will be a thriller about a killer who tries to hide out in an Italian town.
Actor Bill Murray accompanied Clooney to help draw attention to the quake victims.
