Tempers Flare At THE ISLAND

THE ISLAND Premiere
7:30pm screening
Ziegfeld Theater

Photographers were split into two different pits: One at the beginning of the carpet and another after video towards the entrance of the theater. This lead to confusion among our colleagues, as this distinction was not clearly announced by the list caller. Then, once everyone was in their spot, more space (about 4 more spots) was made available. Photographers high on the list demanded a recall, confusion set in, the list was not recalled and photogs took things into their own hands.

The second area towards the theater got screwed, to put it politely. Scarlett Johansson finished with video then posed with Michael bay for the second group. She did some brief fashions then head into the theater. PR promised "she will be right back". Um....Wrong. She never returned to pose fully for the second crew.
