Nicole Cancels All 'fur' Appearances Options

[Kackie]

I think her decision is ENTIRELY sensible.  GIven that reporters want to know all sorts of inappropriate things during the best of times, I shudder to think of how they'd relish picking her apart in a low time.  (Oh, wait, they did pick her apart during a low time - five years ago, wasn't it?)  Films should be able to sell themselves on their own merits without the stars being paraded before us like marionettes on a string by the studios, and in any case Mr Downey can certainly pick up the slack. 

In any case, if we believe ourselves fans the thing to do is support her decision for her life, which is far more important than any career.  (Who was it who said "At the end of their life nobody is going to say 'I should have spent more time at the office'." ?) And in the meantime - show support for her decision and go see her film when it comes into your area.

Very good post, RSD. I agree with you completely, and I think she has made the right choice. People will surely just make it all about Keith and sensationalize things and I don't blame her for not wanting to do that. I think she is handling this in her customary classy way. I wish I could give both her and Keith a big hug right now.

It is unfortunate timing of events that prevents her from doing press but I understand. Of course I'm disappointed but that's for selfish reasons. I love those rare glimpses into Nicole's personality when she's not speaking in character - but speaking for herself. It's usually premieres where we get those opportunities and there aren't enough premieres.

Regardless, there will be other chances and other movies. Addressing the press right now would only detract from the movie and that should remain the focus. She is taking the best approach, as she always seems to do. Guess I'll have to go see that movie to get my Nic Fix!

i think she should at least go to the NEW YORK CITY PREMIER! I mean just to show her respects for the film.

She already did that in Rome during the WORLD premiere and by spending about 10 weeks working on it, creating her character, you don't show more respect than that. It is not so easy causing problems on a movie that is shooting just so you can attend to the opening of another when you've done so already elsewhere.

She may be at the premiere despite the reports.

I find it interesting that Mr Downey wasn't in Italy and no one complained - or was he there and I missed him? Assuming I am correct - why does Nicole's absense become such a big deal and his is not even noticed?

Another thing to hen pick at I guess. NK has always supported her movies regardless of what has happened. Let's remember that New Line who is making Golden Compass is also a part-parent company of Picturehouse, the distributors of Fur so if they can't move her schedule around, it is because they don't want to lose any money, a movie on schedule is more important than one needing a premiere. Fur is also the movie she alluded to that when she lost someone close to her last year, she was told to return to work immediately despite the fact that this friend was also working on the project when he died.

No Downey, Jr. was not at the Rome Festival & it wasn't seen as a big deal. If the movie is good it will get all the respect it deserves whether Nicole is at a premiere or not. It is already well known that she strongly supports the movie & she certainly would not be the first actor no will be the last who has to miss a premiere due shooting schedule.
