Woody Harrelson defended his clash with a photographer at a New York airport Wednesday night as a case of mistaken identity -- he says he mistook the cameraman for a zombie.
The TMZ photographer filed a complaint with police claiming the actor damaged his camera and pushed him in the face at La Guardia Airport, according to an airport spokesman.
"We're looking into this allegation and if it's warranted, we'll turn it over to the proper authorities," said Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman Ron Marsico.
The photographer, who was not identified, captured the encounter on a small camera after his larger one was broken. Harrelson, who is being sued by another TMZ photographer for an alleged assault in 2006, did not deny his involvement.
"I wrapped a movie called 'Zombieland,' in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character," Harrelson said in a statement issued Friday by his publicist.
"With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie," he said.

This film explores the history of the American government's official policy on marijuana in the 20th century. Rising with xenophobia with Mexican immigration and their taste for smoking marijuana, we see the establishment of a wrong headed federal drug policy as a crime issue as opposed to a public health approach. Fueled by prejudice, hysterical propaganda and political opportunism undeterred by voices of reason on the subject, we follow the story of a costly and futile crusade against a substance with questionable ill effects that has damaged basic civil liberties.This film explores the history of the American government's official policy on... more

The set of Roland Emmerich's 2012 just got a little hemp-ier. Woody Harrelson has just joined the cast, portraying a crackpot who might be on to the end of the world as we know it. The disaster film, due out next summer, has been racking up a pretty decent roster of actors, with John Cusack, Danny Glover, Amanda Peet, Thandie Newton and Chiwetel Ejiofor already on board.
“I play a guy who’s been talking for a long time, the whole world thinks he’s crazy,” Harrelson said of his character. “But he’s been talking that there’s gonna be hell to pay for what’s been going on ecologically and everything.”The set of Roland Emmerich's 2012 just got a little hemp-ier.

Snipes was too busy betting on black I guess to pay his taxes--unfortunately, this game of ROULET didn't work out in his favour. NOW, his credibly fantastic friends like Woody Harrelson, Denzel Washington and the somewhat Honorable JUDGE Joe Brown are coming to his defense.
I like Woody's words best: ""Wes took the time to discuss and dissect the issue of racism. ... He strives for rightness in all his relations and I realized early on what a true citizen of the world Wes is. ... it is an honor to call Wes my brother."
I guess White men can jump to the aid of their 'brothers' in need... Snipes was too busy betting on black I guess to pay his taxes--unfortunately, this... more

Grass (1999)/#####/*** A documentary history of marijuana criminalization in the U.S. [Dir: Ron Mann/ Woody Harrelson (narrator)/ 80min/ Documentary/ Legalize Drugs, Propaganda/ Canadian]
Each year, hundreds of thousands of Americans are arrested for marijuana use. The cumulative cost of these arrests (and subsequent incarcerations) is estimated to be in the hundreds of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars. That's a lot of pain and effort to ban a drug that even government experts have concluded to be relatively benign, as indeed marijuana must be since roughly a quarter of the U.S. population has used it without noticeable ill effect. So how did U.S. government policy with respect to marijuana get to be so absurd? That's the question this documentary sets out to answer.
As told here, it all started with a man named Harry Anslinger, head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1930-1962 and an enthusiastic Prohibitionist. He's the chief villain of this story. In league with some of the more yellow press and naive Hollywood, Anslinger created public hysteria over marijuana by blaming it for widespread murder and insanity. The feds and the states then banned marijuana without debate or scientific investigation. After an embarrassing study (commissioned by Mayor LaGuardia of New York) disproved Anslinger's preposterous allegations with regard to pot, Anslinger effectively stopped all research on it by cutting off the supply to researchers. Later, he encouraged the idea that marijuana was a commie plot, and then finally topped off his career by getting the UN to ban marijuana around the world. In short, with regard to pot, Anslinger was the metaphorical Hitler of the War on Drugs.
But the campaign against pot didn't end with Anslinger. As is so often the case with government programs, once started, it became an unstoppable juggernaut, impervious to reason, that gathered more resources and caused more suffering as it rolled ever forward. We see this in the second half of the film, in reviews of the marijuana policies of the various post-Anslinger presidents. Under Nixon, the war on pot was expanded, even though Nixon's own government panel recommended decriminalization. Carter favored decriminalization but lacked the clout to carry it through. After Carter's defeat, Reagan and Bush picked up where Nixon left off and further fueled the war. Ironically the liberal Clinton (who smoked pot but "never inhaled") turned out to be the biggest anti-pot warrior of all -- with more pot arrests under his administration that any previous.
You learn all that and much more in this well-researched and entertaining documentary. Although this film is serious in its implications, the telling is light, even comic at times, as the main focus is on mocking U.S government marijuana policy and those who would defend it. In this regard, good use is made of early (now laughable) propaganda films on pot, like "High on the Range" and "Reefer Madness" as well as videotaped speeches and interviews by drug warriors.
This is an enjoyable film, and the comic aspect of it also makes it a good pick to drag non-libertarian friends to, as it communicates its very libertarian message in a relatively palatable form. And just in case you were wondering, a note near the end of the film states that "no hippies were harmed in the making of this movie."
Incomplete movie.
