POISON SCOOTER

Emilio Estevez, Oscar Worthy?

I guess I shouldn't be too shocked by the buzz around Emilio Estevez's Bobby coming out in November. Afterall, George Clooney was once on the Facts of Life and Paul Haggis was a writer for The Love Boat, so why can't a brat packer be part of something quality? And from the looks of the cast, I must not be the only one who is thinking this movie is good. Anthony Hopkins, Lindsay Lohan, Elijah Wood, Helen Hunt, Freddy Rodriguez, Laurence Fishburn, Christian Slater, Wiliam H. Macy, Nick Cannon, Shia LeBouf, Ashton Kutcher, Joshua Jackson, James Masden, Martin Sheen, Heather Graham, Sharon Stone and Harry Belafonte all signed on to for practically no pay considering the film has a paltry 10 million dollar budget. Yikes.

Emilio not only directed this fictional account of guests present when Bobby Kennedy was killed, but also wrote the sceeenplay which sounds like it's miles from Men at Work his last writing effort back in 1990. And, he apparently has a role in the movie playing "romantically linked down and out entertainers" along side his former fiancee Demi Moore. Emilio has been missing from action since 2000 and now pops up as a triple threat poised to possibly net some Oscar nods? Whoa.
