Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) CEO Tim Cook was seen at the 81st Venice International Film Festival in Italy mingling with Hollywood’s elite.
“Disclaimer,” a psychological thriller starring Cate Blanchett and directed by Alfonso Cuarón, is about a reporter who exposes others’ wrongdoings. The series will be released globally on Oct. 11 on Apple TV+.

Cook spent the evening with Blanchett, an executive producer on the series, Cuarón, and Eddy Cue, Apple's senior VP of Services.
Before his appearance at the festival, the Apple CEO was seen socializing with George Clooney and Amal Clooney at their Lake Como villa on Thursday, the report noted.
The trio traveled by boat to have dinner at Villa Passalacqua, a 5-star hotel.
Another Apple TV+ film, “Wolfs,” featuring Clooney and Brad Pitt, is also premiering at the festival and will be available on Apple TV+ on Sept. 27.
However, on Sunday, during a press conference in Venice, Clooney expressed disappointment about Apple not providing a wider theatrical release for the film.

Why It Matters: Previously, it was reported that Cook’s potential retirement has sparked a successor search at Apple. His tenure has exceeded that of the typical Fortune 500 CEO, and at 63, he surpasses the age of many of his counterparts.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his retirement, Cook continues to lead Apple to success. In August, Apple reported third-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations, with Cook highlighting a ‘breakthrough’ AI platform.
