As soon as the first advertisement for the upcoming A Short Protest was posted, movie watchers across the city were asking questions.
"Chris Harmer's in another film?"
"Clooney's in something?"
"Wasn't he in a couple other things with Vin Diesel from this producer?"
And, the most common query raised by the HTG citizens...
"Abe Vigoda? Isn't he dead?"
A common misconception among movie goers, it's often a surprise that the veteran actor has not passed away. But, rest assured, the 88-year-old is still kickin'. From his portrayal as the deceptive Sal Tessio in The Godfather to his role in HTG's The Mysterious Axeman's Jazz, Vigoda is still producing solid work. And as a top-four star in Miracle Picture's A Short Protest, Vigoda is expected to turn in another great performance.
"He's a bad guy in this one" explained MP frontman Marlowe. "He's in just one of the short films, but it's a pivitol role. We were thrilled to have him."
Of greater shock to HTG Hollywood is that pictures of the elderly star have surfaced across the Internet... nude pictures.
"They're obviously fakes" Marlowe snorted when the topic was brought up. "Mr. Vigoda's far above any such thing. It's apparently the work of a studio behind another Christmas Day release trying to discredit the stars of our film. It's shameful. I'm sure that any fairly intelligent movie viewer would realize that."
A Short Protest, featuring Abe Vigoda, opens on Christmas Day.
(Although the news story was not mandated, Marlowe is using an award concerning a possible nude Abe Vigoda to increase his TS for the film.)
