Arnold Schwarzenegger is in the news again for having fathered an illegitimate child. While this might have been detrimental to his political career, his partners in Hollywood appear unfazed.
It doesn’t affect this movie, said producer Albert Ruddy, who is working on Cry Macho with Schwarzenegger. We’re shooting Aug. 24; we re in serious preproduction now. It hasn’t affected our sales. It s going to be interesting if we get even a bump on the foreign side. This is not gonna be a black eye for a guy with an astounding career.
This is just another one of those things no one will remember, added Ruddy. Bill Clinton went through horrendous things, and now he s regarded as one of the most popular presidents. Let he who is free of sin [cast the first stone], right The only thing that matters is how good the film is. If it fails, they’ll say it s because of the scandal. If it succeeds, they’ll say in spite of it. It doesn’t matter. The film talks for itself.
