Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor have been slated by the producers of their new movie 'The Island' amidst reports the film is a box office flop.
Producers Walter Parkes and wife Laurie McDonald have admitted on their website that the acting duo - who play lovers in the sci-fi drama - gave less than a sparkling performance, saying: "Listen, those are the superstars of the future, not the superstars of the present."
McDonald went further by writing of stunning Scarlett: "Even lesser television actresses, quite honestly, would have more connection to that audience."
Meanwhile, Scarlett has revealed Ewan kissed like a teenager when they had to lock lips in new the movie.
She revealed: "He kissed me like a 16-year-old schoolboy."
However, Scarlett - who was recently rumoured to be rekindling her romance with handsome actor Jared Leto - admits she did enjoy her love scenes with Ewan.
She said recently: "I get paid to make out with Ewan McGregor and roll around in bed all day. It's a hard job but somebody has to do it."
