Too-Wild Irish Rose: The producers of Rose McGowan’s new IRA drama 50 Dead Men Walking heard a strange ticking in their careers before calling in the bomb squad, publicly disavowing McGowan’s comments at Toronto that she would have joined the Republican cause in the ’70s if she had the opportunity. “Ms. McGowan’s views were private ones, and as such they greatly saddened the film’s producers,” they wrote in a statement, adding that they apologized for any distress incurred by the “people of Northern Ireland and particularly those who were victims of or caught up in the shocking events that existed during the conflict.” Still no apology from McGowan, however, who was reportedly busy preparing for Barbarella’s rumoured start in 2016.
