WILLIAMS DISMISSES OLD DOGS BACKLASH

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:24 pm

ROBIN WILLIAMS has brushed off criticism of last year’s (09) flop film OL D DOGS, insisting he only made the kids’ movie because it "paid the bills ".
The funnyman teamed up with John Travolta for the family-friendly pictu re, but it was panned by critics and only took in $96 million (=C2=A364 m illion) at the worldwide box office.
However, Williams refuses to be downbeat about the movie’s negative rev iews - because he only signed up for the fat pay cheque.
He tells Britain’s Guardian newspaper, "I’ve had a lot of people tell m e they watched Old Dogs with their kids and had a good time.
"It paid the bills. Sometimes you have to make movies to make money. Yo u know what you’re getting into, totally. You know they’re going to be go ofy. And that’s okay." (CL/WNBGU/LR) ————————————————————————-

WILDER ‘NOT ANGRY’ WITH LOHAN

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:15 pm

The director behind LINDSAY LOHAN’s next movie project was shocked when t he actress admitted failing a court-ordered drug test which could see her sent back to prison - but insists "it’s hard to be angry" with the star.
Matthew Wilder has hired Lohan to play troubled porn legend Linda Lovel ace in upcoming biopic Inferno, but shooting was pushed back when the Mea n Girls star was jailed for breaching her probation over the summer (10).
Shooting is due to begin in November (10), but the schedule may have to be changed again after Lohan recently admitted she had failed a drug tes t - a mistake which could see her back behind bars.
Wilder admits he was upset by the news, but he can’t help but feel sorr y for Lohan.
He tells People.com, "Did this throw us for a U-turn? Sure. But no one has conveyed any p**siness about it. This is not something to be p**sed a bout. If someone fails a drug test but says I am trying hard and struggli ng, it’s hard for me to be angry." The movie’s producer Chris Hanley adds, "We are not expressing irritati on, nor ‘beyond irritated’ to anyone - that is not to say we would not be upset over a breach of the court by Lindsay that has affected her person ally, or the potential production schedule or location of the production significantly.
"We do believe that Lindsay’s talent does weigh very heavily in this ma tter. Addictive personality disorder issues are pervasive in the film ind ustry. I have worked with Robert Downey and others on movies I have made, and, frankly, talent and passion for a project matter the most to me." (
