Director Bernard Rose is claiming that the Creative Artists Agency attempted to prevent his film, ivans xtc from being produced, inasmuch as the main character bears a resemblance to former CAA superagent Jay Moloney, who once represented Rose at the agency (along with Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, Bill Murray, Uma Thurman and Tim Burton). Rose told today's (Tuesday) New York Daily News: "CAA wishes the film would go away. They view it as dangerous [to them]. Obviously, they feel a lot of guilt about Jay." Moloney, a top agent at CAA, was ousted in 1996 amid allegations of cocaine addiction. He moved to a Caribbean resort and committed suicide in 1996.

CORRECTION: In a report about the Cannes Film Festival on Monday, we incorrectly stated that Jean-Marie Le Pen's National Front received a third of the votes cast in France last month. The Le Pen party received a third of the votes cast in Cannes. (Nationwide, it received about 17 percent of the votes.)
