Actor Sean Penn (news) is claiming in a lawsuit that he lost a movie role because of his public opposition to a U.S. war against Iraq.

But Movie producer Steve Bing has countered in his own lawsuit that Penn is "irrational and irresponsible" and accused the actor of trying to extort $10 million for a movie he had no deal to star in.

Bing and Penn hit each other with Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuits on Tuesday in a bitter feud over the putative movie, "Why Men Shouldn't Marry," that could result in a classic courtroom showdown.


:freak: :freak:

dunno if this is really true, but if it is...... then it is completely unfair.....:confused:

IT IS unfair. But it doesn't surprise me. Some people are taking their patriotism one step to far.

i think it would be different if Penn was a decent actor....

WTF? Penn is probably one of the finest actors out there at the moment. If the material is right, he always delivers.

now that statement is a little wrong. not everyone here thinks if you are anti-american, then you are a terrorist. i personally am anti-government. i love living here, but it is the corruption that makes me not like the government. to say you are "anti-american" is to say you do not like the people that live here, which i am sure that if anyone was to go to downtown USA, you would have a different opinion about us.
