In Reply to: Fiorentino's bitchiness shuts down a movie!! posted by Mr. Killmonkey on August 10, 2000 at 11:12:21:
the article never mentions her ego...it says she was sick...
: Check this out. Hollywood Reporter sez that due to difficulties with Linda Fiorentino, the movie "Till the End of Time" had to completely shut down production. Dear God, where does this woman's ego come from? She's not that big of a star! The only movie I ever remember her getting good buzz about was The Last Seduction, but since then, Dogma has been the highlight of her career. What a strange lady. Oh well, at least she didn't shut down Dogma... lucky Kevin, I guess...

: 'Time' called on O'Keefe project
: Production on "Till the End of Time," the film about the steamy relationship between Georgia O'Keefe and Alfred Stieglitz to be directed by Marek Kanievska ("Where the Money Is"), was shut down Wednesday. About 120 staffers were laid off, sources said. The film, which was scheduled to start shooting July 19 in Chicago but had not yet started principal photography, was to star Linda Fiorentino and Ben Kingsley. On Tuesday, completion bond company Gerling in Cologne, Germany, took control of the production. Various reasons as to why the production was shut down, including scheduling conflicts and a troubled history, were given by different camps. Eric Weissmann, attorney for the project's production company, Georgia Prods., said the film was shuttered "as a result of actions undertaken by the film's star, Linda Fiorentino." Reps for Fiorentino, however, said Weissman's statement was untrue. Fiorentino's agent, WMA's Scott Lambert, and her attorney, Kevin Morris, said delays in production were caused by the actress's illness last week and nothing else. Fiorentino saw a number of doctors last week for an unspecified illness. In a statement released Wednesday, the production company said: "As the matter is in the hands of our lawyers, we are precluded from making further comment at this time." According to the film's producers, the production is expected to restart either later this year or early next year with the same crew and director but possibly with different actors. Full story
