Australians Campaign To Ban Geena Davis
By Celeb Stink: 2008-06-20 19:03:21
Hollywood actress Geena Davis is facing disruption on the set of her new movie
- residents in an upmarket Sydney, Australia suburb have launched a campaign to
stop the crew filming in the area.
The Thelma & Louise star is currently shooting Accidents Happen in the Australian city but members of the production team have upset locals with their plans to film scenes during the early hours of the morning. People living in the St Ives area have complained that members of the movie crew offered residents bribes in a bid to win them over. And now local people have taken their concerns to the local council - signing a petition for the moviemakers to be banned from filming anywhere near their properties. Resident Guy Yeomans is spearheading the campaign. He says, "(It will be) a major and totally unacceptable disruption. There will be 50 crew, generators, lights, emergency vehicles, actors, directors shouting, and then the revving of cars and trucks and slamming doors as they leave." "At first they wanted to film until 3am and then they offered a compromise, with a few hundred dollars to residents to buy them off. We expect the council to look after the rights of its residents and not those of a commercial organisation." (LR/WNWCSY/IG) Copyright 2008 WENN RELATED: geena davis

dear all,
i am very disappointed and embarrased that a select few people have no better thing to do with their time than sully the name of this fine town with this small and mis-directed campaign.
your plans to disrupt the shoot are incredibly petty and i suspect you will realise that while you are standing in the dark waiving your torches and playing your bagpipes.... all too late.
to those who are involved i hope you fully understand your motives and are not being wrongly lead by a one-eyed ex politician who misses his time in the limelight . please reconsider , regards erik thomson
