During yesterday’s Santa Barbara Film Festival director’s panel, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly helmer Julian Schnabel was asked about the Sean Young heckling incident. I’m told he said he was basically delighted by the whole stink because it raised his film’s profile like almost nothing else and created a solid positive-sympathetic vibe on the film’s behalf. A very cool, adult, grown-up attitude….cheers.
