John Landis and his scumbag lawyer. That's Max Landis's mother behind them. |
Of course, he's probably getting advice from his scumbag father who got away with murdering two small children, Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shinn Chen, on a movie set. John Landis denied everything. He directed a segment of The Twilight Zone movie. He had two children on the set in the middle of the night which was illegal in itself, then he had them perform their own stunt in which they and Vic Morrow were killed.
According to Landis's testimony, a movie director doesn't really do anything. The cameraman decides what to film. The actors decide what they do in front of the camera. Other people make the movie and he doesn't even pay that much attention.
You can be pretty sure that Max Landis's defense will be along those lines. He'll deny everything. For the moment, he's lying low and keeping quiet which is extremely unusual for him.
John Landis got away with it. Was acquitted of manslaughter and it had no effect on his career. He was banned by the Screen Actors Guild from working with children for two years. But, soon enough he was directing Macaulay Culkin in a Michael Jackson video. It turns out Jackson cared nothing about children.
John Landis is characteristic pose. |
