Armie Hammer & Amber Tamblyn Have No Time For James Woods’ Hypocritical Comments About A Gay Film

September 12, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

As hardly anyone wants to employ him to be in movies anymore, James Woods seems to have decided to take up a role being an online troll, to the point that it’s often difficult to know whether he really believes half the things he says, or whether he’s just trying to get a reaction. He certainly got a reaction on Monday when he went on Twitter to decry the gay-themed film, Call Me By Your Name.

The film is about the relationship between a 17-year-old (Timothee Chalamet) and a 24-year-old (Armie Hammer). But despite his reputation for womanising and general hellraising, Woods decided a holier-than-thou response was called for, tweeting about the film, ‘As they quietly chip away the last barriers of decency. #NAMBLA’, referring to the notorious American Pedophile organisation.

The Tweet quickly set off a storm of anger, including from Call Me By Your Name star, Armie Hammer, who responded to Woods, ‘Didn’t you date a 19 year old when you were 60…….?’. Hammer wasn’t wrong either, with Woods later reportedly dating a 20-year-old when he was 66.

Actress Amber Tamblyn also chipped in about Wood’s hypocrisy and penchant for much younger women, tweeting, ‘James Woods tried to pick me and my friend up at a restaurant once. He wanted to take us to Vegas. “I’m 16” I said. “Even better” he said.’

As many pointed out, there was more than a whiff of homophobia to Woods’ initial tweet, so there was plenty of pleasure when other celebs came out to call him on it and demonstrate his hypocrisy. Apparently Woods’ promptly blocked Hammer on Twitter, so we guess Armie wins by default.

James Woods used to be a Democrat, but has become increasingly right wing, particularly with social issues that he feels conflict with the Catholic faith, such as abortion and gender diversity. He’s now a staunch republican and, as we mentioned, a bit of a troll.

James Woods Circles White House Down

July 10, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

We haven’t seen James Woods too much on the big screen lately, but now he has entered into early negotiations for a role in Sony’s White House Down for director Roland Emmerich, according to Variety.

The movie is about a young Secret Service agent (Channing Tatum) who gets put to the ultimate test when a paramilitary group invades the White House and takes everyone hostage. If a deal is finalised, Woods will play the head of the President’s protection detail. But as this is James Woods, what’s the betting he’s secretly a bad guy? Jamie Foxx and Maggie Gyllenhaal also star.

Roland Emmerich is directing from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt, which was acquired by Sony for a whopping $3 million back in March. Shooting is scheduled to begin next month.

James Woods Joins Ashton Kutcher In Jobs

June 27, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ron Eldard, John Getz, Lesley Ann Warren and James Woods have joined Ashton Kutcher in Jobs, the biopic about the iconic Silicon Valley visionary which started shooting a couple of weeks ago. The cast also includes Josh Gad, Lukas Haas, Matthew Modine and Dermot Mulroney.

Joshua Michael Stern (Swing Vote, Neverwas) directs, from an original screenplay by Matt Whiteley, with the film chronicling Steve Jobs’ transformation of character from the enthusiasm and self-discovery of his youth, to the personal demons that clouded his vision, and finally to the ultimate triumphs of his later life.

Ashton Kutcher plays the title role, with Josh Gad portraying Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. Ron Eldard is Apple designer Rod Holt; John Getz portrays Jobs’ father, Paul Jobs; Lesley Ann Warren plays Jobs’ adoptive mother, Clara Jobs; and James Woods is Jobs’ former Dean of Students, Jack Dudman. Lukas Haas is Apple engineer Daniel Kottke; Matthew Modine portrays former Apple CEO John Sculley; and Dermot Mulroney is investor and second Apple CEO Mike Markkula.

The movie should be out this winter. (Source: Variety)
