James G. Robinson, the trailblazing film producer known for his involvement in some of Hollywood\u2019s most memorable feuds, passed away peacefully on February 15, 2023, at the age of 90. Robinson, who co-founded Morgan Creek Entertainment with Joe Roth in the mid-1980s, left an indelible mark on the movie industry with his production of numerous critically acclaimed films.<\/p>\n
Before making a name for himself in the film industry, Robinson served in the United States Army and enjoyed great success in the automobile industry. His passion for movies led him to break into the business, producing a diverse range of films, many of which were comedies, over the next four decades.<\/p>\n
Robinson\u2019s producer credits include the iconic \u201cRobin Hood: Prince of Thieves,\u201d \u201cTrue Romance,\u201d \u201cMajor League II,\u201d \u201cJuwanna Mann,\u201d \u201cMan of the Year,\u201d and the \u201cAce Ventura\u201d franchise. His work extended beyond comedy, as he also produced films like \u201cGeorgia Rule,\u201d which starred Lindsay Lohan, Jane Fonda, and Felicity Huffman.<\/p>\n
During the production of \u201cGeorgia Rule\u201d in 2006, Robinson and Lindsay Lohan\u2019s working relationship took a turn for the worse. After Lohan reportedly missed several days of shooting, Robinson wrote a legal letter expressing his concerns about her behavior on set. He accused her of being a \u201cspoiled child,\u201d \u201cdiscourteous,\u201d \u201cirresponsible,\u201d and \u201cunprofessional.\u201d<\/p>\n
The letter, which alleged that Lohan\u2019s heavy partying was the cause of her exhaustion, made headlines. Lohan later claimed she never saw the letter, but sources reported that she had missed two full days of shooting due to her partying with Nicole Richie. The incident contributed to a growing tension between Robinson and Lohan.<\/p>\n
In 2011, during an interview with us, Robinson shared his thoughts on working with actors with addiction issues, following Charlie Sheen\u2019s public struggles. He expressed his reluctance to work with Sheen again, citing the potential risks involved.<\/p>\n
Robinson\u2019s last released movie was \u201cThe Exorcist: Believer,\u201d but he is credited on several upcoming projects, including a film written, directed, and starring Emilio Estevez titled \u201cYoung Guns: Dead or Alive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robinson is survived by his wife of 61 years, Barbara Lois Robinson; his sons, Michael Joseph Robinson, James Patrick Robinson, Matthew Brian Robinson, David Christopher Robinson, and Thomas Vernon West; and his daughter, Elizabeth Robinson deVilliers. He leaves behind 8 grandchildren and a legacy that continues to shape the movie industry.<\/p>\n
