Ugggh...It kills me to post this because I am excited about the upcoming movie "Blood Diamond" and how hot Leonardo DiCaprio looks in it, so I don't plan to boycott, and I hope others don't either.
BUT...having said that...Warner Brothers at the very least is being extremely callous towards a group of amputated teens and children from South Africa who appeared as extras in the movie and were promised they would receive limbs from the movie studio as part of a publicity deal.
The movie finished shooting months ago, but no one has received their limbs yet. When contacted for a comment, a WB spokesman said "we're working on it", but supposedly WB doesn't want to fulfill their promise until after they have milked enough publicity out of the amputees.
Hey business is business, and who knows what the actual contractual details were...I wouldn't be surprised if a movie company said they would do something AFTER the movie opened, but having us know about those terms definitely works against the studio in this case.
Well, if any of those amputees is about Heather Mills' size and needs a leg (or even an arm), I'd be happy to go and get them from her!
