Left in the Lurch
An A-list star has rubbed the makers of a new film the wrong way by abandoning their project at the eleventh hour without so much as a warning or an apology. The makers of this filma former studio head who's set up his own shindig, and a senior directorwere reportedly shocked to learn that the dates that had been allocated to them by the actor had been transferred' to an action movie that the actor had suddenly signed with a B-movie director he has known for years.
Insiders are saying the decision was not entirely the actor's own. He was advised by family that his next film ought to be a commercial' film with strong box-office potential, and the action film backed by a major studio looked like a safer bet, seen through that prism. Word on the street is that the actor didn't leave the other project, he simply told them they would need to move the film by nearly six months if they wanted him to be a part of it.
The filmmakers have been shopping the project around to other actors, but with little luck. Some say they are likely to wait for the A-lister to put the film into production. But only recently a rival studio announced a project on the exact same subjectwith an upcoming director attached, and this cannot be encouraging news for the filmmakers.
