Power producer Joel Silver always has a party on Memorial Day. And Robert Downey Jr shows up, more often than not. There are few producers who are personalities themselves. Joel Silver is one of them. Click here if you missed the fascinating THR profile on his business practices last year. Joel was responsible for the Lethal Weapon franchise. And now he and director Richard Donner don’t talk anymore. It’s Hollywood politics, it’s boy sh-t, and it’s insight into how dirty it can get in that town.
