Scarlett hits back at producers

Wed 17 Aug 11:00 AM

An indignant Scarlett Johansson has fired a broadside back at producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, after the husband and wife duo blamed her and co-star Ewan McGregor for the box office failure of The Island.

The Island producers claimed that movie beauty Johansson was particularly to blame, stating on their website, "even lesser television actresses would have more connection to that audience".

However, the Lost In Translation star has refuted their allegations, saying: "This is a clear-cut example of the producers passing the buck and not taking responsibility for their part in making calculated mistakes throughout the film's marketing. (I am) proud of (my) performance and the film."
