Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, the husband-and-wife team to produce The Island, are blaming Scarlett Johansson and Ewin MacGregor’s lack of star power for the movie’s flop.

Parkes went as far as to tell zap2it.com, “Even lesser television actresses, quite honestly, would have more connection to that audience.”

Now the gloves are off, and insiders on the picture are blaming the producers rather than the two young stars.

We’re told that Parkes and MacDonald “were only on the set three times” and that they spent three weeks in June, right before the movie’s release, on vacation in Italy, where they were “basically uncontactable.”

I guess Scarlett’s boobs weren’t able to mesmerize everyone. What’s wrong with you people?
