From the interview with Eva Green:

“When I met her [Lara Parker] I was thinking, ‘Oh no, I haven’t done my homework! It was weird: she thought she was playing Angelique because she had a cameo,” she recalled.

I'm sorry, but that is patently false.

Just within the past few days such denials have come from Seth Grahame-Smith, Richard Zanuck, Tim Burton, Fangoria's editor-in-chief Chris Alexander, and even David Selby. It's like two different films exist and each camp is seeing a different version.

To my knowledge, Selby has made no comment since the trailer was released. His Facebook and Twitter pages have reposted comments from other sources, but I'm unaware of a direct statement from him.

Quite a few more links to reviews and other media coverage of Necessary Sacrifices now appear on the News page of David's official site:

Ford's Theatre announced this evening that David Emerson Toney (Frederick Douglass) has had to withdraw from the production due to a health matter. They plan to recast the role, but performances scheduled for January 20-25 have been canceled. For more information, including the ticket refund/exchange policy, please see the link below:

Finally, today's online Washington Post includes a new "Show and Tell" feature in the Lifestyles section in which arts professionals are asked for advice that can be applied to everyday life. First in the series is David Selby talking about public speaking lessons to be learned from Abraham Lincoln:
