The producers of Rose McGowan‘s new film, Fifty Dead Men Walking, are doing the distancing dance.
They want to make sure that every one knows that they don’t support the actress’ pro-terrorism comments from last week.
In a statement sent to The Hollywood Reporter, the producers said they “regret any distress” that McGowan’s comments may have caused “to people of Northern Ireland and particularly those who were victims of or caught up in the shocking events that existed during the conflict” AND that “Ms. McGowan’s views were private ones, and as such they greatly saddened the film’s producers.”
The flick’s director also took a moment to slam McGowan, saying, “Rose’s personal opinions of Northern Ireland do not reflect the perspective of the film in any way. Our goal was to present an even, non-judgmental point of view so the audience could follow the path of an informer with empathy no matter what the politics.”
We guess Rose won’t be making any trips to Northern Ireland any time soon!
