Brian said no, adding that not only Joaquin, but also Film Emperor William Holt, Michael Keaton, and other actors spoke out for "Mr. Tree" without being influenced by their public relations efforts.
Link asked Brian why this was the case; did these people want to curry favor with Lionsgate Films in this way?
Brian Goldsmith said it wasn't necessarily so and shared another piece of news with him.
Many film critics in the media were praising "Mr. Tree," some of whom were brought in by the company, but a significant portion was not a result of the company's PR; instead, after watching the film, they genuinely liked it and took the initiative to publish positive reviews.
"So you're saying the movie is not bad?"
Link was somewhat surprised.
