Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

When we posted the obit for director Bob Clark last week, the talkback quickly degenerated into a racist cesspool because of the illegal status of the drunk driver who killed Clark and his son. Never mind that their immigration status had nothing to do with the accident... just mentioning the issue seems to bring out the lynch-mob-with-a-shotgun mentality in some people.

So I’m sure there will be a good deal of heated discussion regarding the new project by Wayne (THE COOLER, RUNNING SCARED) Kramer. Do me a personal favor, though, okay? Don’t turn the talkback into another repulsive display. At least pretend you know how to talk about the issue like human beings.

Personally, I’m just amazed he managed to pin Harrison Ford down and get him to star in something so politically charged. This is the guy, after all, who famously squirmed out of both TRAFFIC and SYRIANA. Those films took complicated looks at tricky subject matter, so I wonder what it is that finally got Ford to commit to this one.

There’s not a lot of information out there yet on this project, but check this out:

I found this over at variety and harrisonfordweb.com respectively, notice it hasn’t been posted here yet, I can’t wait to see the message boards reaction to this.

Is It Wrong To Hope This Is More COOLER And Less RUNNING SCARED?
