I know that this isn't the most late-breaking news story, but I did want to bring this about to your attention: The cast of Oliver Stone's W. was involved in a bar brawl down in Shreveport, Louisiana, where the film is being shot. Here's very short coverage from the Shreveport Times:
Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, actors filming Oliver Stone's W in Louisiana, were among the cast and crew members arrested after a barroom tussle, reports the Shreveport Times. The busted thespians had interfered with police attempts to subdue a fellow patron, and were charged with interfering with police. Brolin was released after paying $334 bail.
A Shreveport police spokesman said one thing has been unusual about the bust: publicity. “I’ve heard from National Enquirer, Entertainment Tonight, Extra, the New York Post and a few other national outlets. Lots of people have called.”
I wonder, could this not only hurt the film's supposed bad reputation, but also damage Brolin's chances at the Oscars this year. As you may have noticed, I am at the moment predicting that he will be nominated for his role in the Gus Van Sant film Milk. Assuming the performance will be Oscar-worthy, could Brolin's badboy antics cost him in the awards season?
