He ran into Bill McVeigh and saw on Bill McVeigh's face another expression of a grieving father (Their friendship) didn't happen instantaneously, but they began to talk and over the course of a very hefty chunk of time, Bill's grief and Bud's grief bonded them He has gone on to speak against the death penalty on the national and international stage, and has been honored with several abolitionist of the year awards from several state and national organizations "His work has had an enormous impact on the world," Shanti said Another man's son planned the attack Reuters/Hollywood Reporter " "Bud & Bill" revolves around Bud Welch, whose daughter Julie was among the 168 victims of the 1995 attack, and Bill McVeigh, whose son Timothy was executed in 2001 for his role in masterminding the bombing Oklahoma Bombing Dads' Odd Friendship Comes to Film Thu Sep 2, 7:36 AM ET Add Movies - Reuters to My Yahoo! By Chris Gardner LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - One man lost his daughter in the Oklahoma City bombing "He was so consumed by that grief and that rage that he couldn't get on with his life The two became friends, and their unlikely story will be told in a feature by director Robert Greenwald, the filmmaker behind the political documentaries "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism" and "Uncovered: The War in Iraq (news - web sites) "And for a man who was frozen by the loss of his daughter, that is an incredible accomplishment They met during Timothy McVeigh (news - web sites)'s trial, but didn't hit it off right away, for obvious reasons " The script is being written by TV veteran Donald Martin, who has met with the two men Greenwald's most recent narrative feature, "Steal This Movie," about late activist Abbie Hoffman, was released in 2000 "Bud, at the time, was a working-class man, enraged by the death of his daughter and wanting to see whoever was responsible fry for what they did -- which is a completely natural reaction," said Alys Shanti, who will produce with Greenwald " Through their bond, Shanti added, Welch's views on the death penalty began to change, and he became one of the loudest voices against executing McVeigh Lo factor," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations " Filmmakers usually decry blabbermouths who reveal movie secrets, but writer-director Smith and distributor Miramax are quick to acknowledge Lopez's demise, a plot twist they once had hoped to keep hidden " The real "Jersey Girl" posters show Affleck with crossed arms, looking down at Castro in a paternal staring match " "The person who has my greatest sympathy right now is Kevin Smith," said John Wilson, founder of the annual Razzie awards for worst movies, where "Gigli" swept all the top categories last month " When "Gigli" flopped, "suddenly, our move to 2004 was the best thing that ever happened But whether it's good or bad awareness remains to be seen "We have a completely different movie from `Gigli,'" said Rick Sands, Miramax's chief operating officer "How do you sell `Jersey Girl' after this fiasco? How do you convince anyone that you want to see these two people reunited on screen? "They may need to put Lopez in a coffin on the poster if they want anyone to come A long, slow anticlimax followed, as Affleck and Lopez called off their September wedding at the last minute and rumors flew about the status of their relationship Besides "Gigli," Affleck also starred in December's action thriller "Paycheck "`Gigli' was a movie that definitely suffered from the surfeit of publicity about me and Jen With its $35 million budget ($10 million for Affleck's salary and $4 million for Lopez's), "Jersey Girl" is less of a risk than "Gigli " Miramax is opening "Jersey Girl" in 1,600 theaters, about 600 fewer than "Gigli," then gradually rolling it out to wider release over the next two weekends hoping the buzz builds and overcomes the "Gigli" taint Yet Kevin Smith wants you to know, he croaks Jennifer Lopez minutes into "Jersey Girl "Kevin Smith has a following regardless of the Ben Affleck-J " The reason: The lingering cloud of box-office carbon monoxide left by "Gigli," last summer's bomb that was the first pairing of Lopez and real-life sweetie Ben Affleck "There are a lot of his fans who will want to see this movie "And I felt like maybe after their breakup, there might be a macabre interest in it now This way, it's more honest," Smith said " "In the post-`Gigli' climate, you'd have to be an idiot to hype it as a Ben-and-Jen movie To hold the focus squarely on Affleck as a single father, Smith truncated the movie's opening, deleting scenes to reduce the romance and marriage of Affleck and Lopez to a whirlwind montage It seemed like a brilliant move, getting us away from `Gigli,'" Smith said Everyone involved wants to distance the new flick from "Gigli," so they're taking an unusual tack for Hollywood and selling "Jersey Girl" truthfully for what it is: A goodhearted story of a widower (Affleck) struggling to put his life back together while raising a little girl on his own Once "Gigli" laid its egg, it was in the best interests of "Jersey Girl" to go public with Lopez's fate and downplay her involvement "Also `Gigli,' while it was a great experience and while I had a great time making it, didn't really, ultimately work as a movie, and `Jersey Girl' really does "If we had come out two months after `Gigli,' I don't think we would have gotten a fair shake Miramax hopes that image lingers over any groans of "Ben and Jen again I feel like enough time has passed," Smith said Bennifer's Back, but Affleck Stands Out Mar 24, 12:50 PM EST The tabloid beast known as Bennifer rears its head on the big screen again "I think we have a shot to have the movie seen and reviewed for content and not its back story So it was kind of, `Enough already,' before the movie came out," Affleck said I believe it's a beautiful movie, and I'm really proud of it The new movie has plenty of Smith's trademark character banter, but on a mature level, without the gross-out schtick of his previous work Affleck hopes enough time has passed so audiences can view "Jersey Girl" on its own merits That may be all it needs to rise above the `Gigli' debacle " Now, Smith thinks audiences will give "Jersey Girl" a chance Still, doubters think the "Gigli" fallout could smother "Jersey Girl " Before "Gigli" hit theaters, Miramax moved "Jersey Girl" from its original release date last fall to this spring to avoid flooding the market with Affleck flicks Then came the media farce over their on-again, off-again nuptials, culminating in gleefully harsh reviews of their mob comedy "Gigli," a $54 million production that earned back just $6 million at theaters After Gertrude's death giving birth to their daughter, Gertie (Raquel Castro), Ollie's professional life crumbles and he finds himself back in New Jersey, licking his wounds at the home of his father (George Carlin) Lopez plays Affleck's wife and dies in childbirth within the first 15 minutes He cut a wedding scene, a smart move given the wisecracks it would have provoked after Affleck and Lopez's nuptial nonsense Liv Tyler co-stars as Ollie's new romantic interest, but the heart of the story is the father-daughter attachment, inspired by Smith's relationship with his own daughter "The movie's the movie, and we're proud of it A year or two ago, the prospect of Lopez and Affleck together on screen sounded like music to a studio executive's ears They finally called off their engagement in January " Smith's young, hip fan base alone could lift it to profitability The mentions "Jersey Girl" got amid the bad press for "Gigli" actually helped build awareness for Smith's film " Affleck plays Ollie Trinke, a crack Manhattan music publicist who meets and marries the woman of his dreams, Gertrude Steiney (Lopez) Smith initially wanted the death of Lopez's character to be a surprise, but word leaked out after test screenings "I never would have wanted to do a bait-and-switch and sell it as a Ben-and-Jen movie, then have people suddenly get irate when she dies so early," said Smith, who previously directed Affleck in "Chasing Amy," "Dogma," "Mallrats" and "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back `Gigli' has no influence on the marketing or distribution " If the movie catches a break with reviewers and builds solid word of mouth, "Jersey Girl" also might lure older audiences into the Smith fold "Jersey Girl" is the most grown-up film yet for Smith, whose first movie "Clerks" put him at the vanguard of the 1990s wave of young independent filmmakers |
