Haggis helped to recruit a number of Hollywood A-listers to Allora Fest — Edward Norton and Alfre Woodard honored their commitments to participate in master classes on Tuesday, and others set to attend the fest, which runs through June 26, include Oliver Stone, Jeremy Irons, Jon Hamm, Matt Dillion and Marisa Tomei.
Haggis himself, meanwhile, was set to moderate a series of master classes, and had lined up both his son, James Haggis, an assistant director, and his daughter, Alissa Haggis, a screenwriter, for master classes of their own . At the time of Haggis’ arrest, his aforementioned relatives had already arrived in Ostuni; however, a decision was made by the festival that their master classes will not be moving forward. “We removed them from active participation,” Bizio, a longtime and respected member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, tells, adding that she and Doulton have stepped in to moderate the master classes which were to be handled by Haggis himself.
As for Haggis, who is reportedly under house arrest at a hotel in Ostuni? “It’s not that he’s been ‘uninvited,'” Bizio explained. “Legally, he cannot participate. And honestly, between now and the 26th, I doubt very much this will be resolved.”
