BILLY ZANE - ZANE'S MOVIE BOMBS AT CANNES

ZANE'S MOVIE BOMBS AT CANNES

Actor BILLY ZANE's latest movie offering has been panned by critics at the Cannes Film Festival - some of whom left the auditorium in despair. Movie buffs reportedly laughed out loud during a screening of new film Fishtales last week (ends20May07), which also stars Zane's British fiancee Kelly Brook. One critic tells British newspaper The Sun, "It was the worst thing I've seen this year, possibly ever. I stayed as long as I could without crying with boredom. "We followed the crowds and snuck out the door. But I felt guilty when I saw Amber Savva - the girl who play's Billy's daughter - waiting in the wings. "At least she's got time to learn. The others should have known better." Fishtales sees Brook play Nereid, a beautiful mermaid washed up on a Greek island who makes friends with a little girl and falls in love with her widowed dad, an Oxford professor played by Zane.
