Actor rips his film on YouTube
Apr 6, 2009 -- Low-budget independent movie Midgets vs. Mascots is getting the worst kind of publicity on YouTube, courtesy of one of its stars.
Pint-sized TV series actor Gary Coleman (Webster) does a rant knocking the film in which is stars. “It was worse than any film school project that I think I could ever bear to be involved in. I should have never been in this movie in the first place, but the mortgage keeps coming.”
He complains the movie was a strain on his personal life, he didn’t get paid much and “I’m going to bash my fists right in my agent’s face.” It’s not clear why the Coleman rant is posted--don’t discount this might be a calculated publicity gimmick for the film.
The film is a farce about a porno tycoon dwarf who offers a $10 million prize to the winning team as midgets compete against a group of costumed mascots (regular-size people in body suits as Gators, Cowboys and Spartans). Midgets vs. Mascots premieres April 25 at the Tribeca Film Festival, and apparently has no commercial distribution lined up after that. Its official website has little info about the filmmakers.
