MARION COTILLARD - OSCAR WINNER BLAMED U.S. FOR 9/11
Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard is likely to draw protesters when she begins shooting a new film in Chicago next week because of year-old remarks about the 9/11 attacks in which she appeared to contend that the U.S. staged the destruction of the World Trade Center towers because they needed to be modernized and "it was a lot more expensive, that work, than destroying them." In an interview for French television that was originally broadcast a year ago, she suggested that the public was "lied to" about the attacks. Cotillard has been cast in Public Enemies, which costars Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. In an interview with the Hollywood Today website, 9/11 fireman Mike Lennon, who made a documentary about the disaster, warned that Cotillard's remarks "could be a powder keg issue for thousands of firefighters and the families of victims who may picket her next film with my full support."

This "actress" should be kicked off Johnny's new picture, toot sweet. She has insulted
America and Americans, and most of all has poured salt into the wounds of the victims'
families. She knows not of which she speaks. "My words were taken out of context"..
....my foot. I don't even think she knows what the word means. All of the big wigs
associated with this picture must now view her as liability as many, many people
will not want to pay money to see a movie with an idiot in it. I have already read t
hat many people in New York City will stay away from the theatre in droves because
of her. Although 9/11 happened in 2001 it is still fresh in the minds of all Americans.
This picture does not need an "academy award winner" to help this movie be successful, JOHNN
Y DEPP IS WHAT WILL MAKE THIS MOVIE SUCCESSFULL! This..person..should be banned
from making any U.S. movies - she has already black-listed herself. Let her stay
in France. I'm sure there are plenty of American actresses who would be fantastic in the role.
Get rid of her - her comments have already labeled her to be heartless.
