SCARLETT JOHANSSON - ISLAND PRODUCERS BLAME ACTORS FOR FLOP

THE ISLAND's producers have blamed the movie's stars SCARLETT JOHANSSON and EWAN McGREGOR for the critical-mauling its received.

Producer WALTER PARKES and his wife LAURIE have used their website to stage a vicious attack on Johansson and McGregor, claiming their half-hearted efforts have resulted in a poor reception for the high-budget sci-fi epic.

And Johansson's talents take the biggest beatings, with the husband and wife team claiming a television actress could have done a more professional job.

They write, "Listen those are superstars of the future, not superstars of the present.

"Even lesser television actresses, quite honestly would have more connection to that audience."
