Not quite how the industry works.

See, when an actor takes on an acting job in a movie - even a bad one - he assumes the role of an employee. And so he doesn't get to "demand" anything. The movie belongs to the people who paid money to create it. They tend to want that money back, preferably with a profit on top. (They like to eat, see?)

Whereas when an actor (or any other individual) funds a movie festival, he is the one paying money to create something. And so he can claim ownership, which means he gets to make the decisions.

de Niro owes nothing to Wakefield.

You are aware that he hid the fact that he was paid for his study by trial lawyers that wanted a link to support their litigation correct? Let's see how forthcoming you are about this.
You'll have to provide citations supporting your argument. Here's his colleague:

Here Wakefield explains his side:

I never claimed he did. Deniro was defending the inclusion of the movie the other day. He gave in to peer pressure. An awful turn of events when it comes to something like this.

That's not what I wrote. You have some trouble discerning nuances in reporting-language conventions, as well as a reading comprehension problem.

Ehm - de Niro gets to decide who he wants to lend credence to, doesn't he?

If he belatedly realized just who he was giving a platform, he certainly has a right to change his mind. Good for him that he doesn't want his name associated with Wakefield's. Where does "awful" get into it?

That wasn't a belated realization on DeNiro's part. He knew who Wakefield was.

Wipe your eyes. Wakefield can still count on support from such luminaries as Jennifer McCarthy, right?

His "colleague":

Andy Wakefield exonerated because John Walker-Smith won his appeal? Not so fast there, pardner… – Respectful Insolence

A judicial decision about Walker-Smith does not trump the evidence that Wakefield is a fraud. Wakefield can whine all he wants to. He got caught falsifying a study for his own financial gain.
