Whether they are behind the camera or in front of it, this is the place to discuss all filmmakers regardless of their role in the filmmaking process.

Apparently, Morgan Creek is not the only one tired of Lindsay's antics:
Macy Slams Lohan for Lateness


Veteran actor William H. Macy has blasted co-star Lindsay Lohan for her behavior while filming the movie Bobby, insisting she "should have her a** kicked." The star shared scenes with the 20-year-old actress in the film and admires her talent, but not her manners. He said, "You can't show up late. It's very, very disrespectful." Lohan was blasted in a letter last month from the Ceo of Morgan Creek Productions for her absences on set of her new film Georgia Rule, who called her behavior that of "a spoiled child." Lohan appears in the film alongside Macy's wife, Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman. He explains, "I think what an actor has to realize (is that) when you show up an hour late, 150 people have been scrambling to cover for you. It's nothing but disrespect. And Lindsay Lohan is not the only one. A lot of actors show up late as if they're God's gift to the film. It's inexcusable, and they should have their a**es kicked."

From the IMDb:
Lohan Continues to Party


Lindsay Lohan continued partying last weekend despite the fact she was hospitalized Wednesday and received a scathing letter from the studio head of her latest movie detailing her lack of professionalism. James G. Robinson, the CEO of Morgan Creek Productions, sent a letter to Lohan calling her "discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional" and went on to say her actions were those of a spoiled child which had caused her co-workers on the set of Georgia Rule to feel alienated and "has endangered the quality of this picture." Robinson also threatened to sue the 20-year-old star if she continued to delay production. On Friday night Lohan was spotted at new Hollywood night club Les Deux and on Saturday she flew to Las Vegas, Nevada, where she was photographed partying with boyfriend Harry Morton. According to celebrity website TMZ, the young star continued her streak of late nights, hitting Hollywood hot spot Hyde on the Sunset Strip, where she was spotted in the club's parking lot hugging and talking to friends. Lohan's mother Dina, has come to her daughter's defense, saying the letter was "too much" and that Lindsay is "a wonderful child."


It's too bad. Lindsay actually has some talent compared to other "superstarlets" like Hilary Duff, for instance.

I heard described as a "superstarlet" the other day. Kind of puts her in a league with Paris Hilton. A shame for someone whose career seemed to be going so well. A sad case of too much, too soon.

Hollywood Big Blasts Lohan
Movie boss warns actress over "so called" exhaustion, heavy partying
JULY 28--Lindsay Lohan's hard-partying antics and recent bout of "heat exhaustion" has left one Hollywood big shot steamed, The Smoking Gun has learned. In a blistering July 26 letter to the 20-year-old actress, James G. Robinson, who heads the L.A. firm producing Lohan's current movie, calls her recent erratic behavior "discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional." Robinson, the 70-year-old chief executive of Morgan Creek Productions, writes that Lohan has "acted like a spoiled child and in doing so have alienated many of your co-workers and endangered the quality" of "Georgia Rule," a movie now being filmed and which stars Lohan, Jane Fonda, and Felicity Huffman. A copy of Robinson's letter--which was delivered to Lohan at the Chateau Marmont hotel--can be found below. A Morgan Creek official confirmed to TSG that the missive was sent to Lohan and her various representatives earlier this week. Robinson notes that while Lohan's aides have chalked up her lateness and absences to illness, he is "well aware that your ongoing all night heavy partying is the real reason for your so called 'exhaustion.'" Noting that Morgan Creek refuses to "accept bogus excuses for your behavior," Robinson warns Lohan that she will be held "personally accountable" for losses caused by her actions. Claiming that Lohan's behavior has already "resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage," Robinson hints at possible legal action against the actress unless she begins honoring her production commitments. He concludes, "I urge you to take this letter seriously and conduct yourself professionally."
