Park City police are investigating a fight that broke out early Sunday morning at a Main Street club during the Sundance Film Festival in which actor Emile Hirsch and a female Paramount Pictures film executive had a physical altercation.
The scuffle was at Tao, where one of several Sundance Film Festival parties was going full-steam. The NY Post‘s Page Six, which first reported the news, said police were called at around 3:30 AM local time after the exec told security what happened. No arrests were made, and a source is telling us the incident was not of a sexual nature. Paramount had no comment today.
“Currently this is an active case that we’re still investigating,” said Capt. Phil Kirk, CIO of the Park City PD. “We’ll be submitting the case to the Summit County Attorney’s Office for screening as soon as we complete the investigation.”
Hirsch is at Sundance with his latest pic Ten Thousand Saints, which had its world premiere Friday in the Premieres section. Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini directed the pic, set in New York City in the late 1980s, about the son of diehard hippies who embarks on an odyssey to the extremities of late-20th century youth culture. Ethan Hawke, Asa Butterfield, Emily Mortimer, Julianne Nicholson and Hailee Steinfeld also star.
“I said I want 600 screens with a significant p&a buy, bitch!”
Go Speed, go!
“Speed Race-”
“Smack!”
make sense. hirsch is a pipsqueak with a huge ego who wouldn’t have the cajones to fight a man. this kid is such a disappointment.
How do you know that?
Sounds to me like you just want to throw your useless comment into the ring ‘BW’. Hirsch has never come across as anything more than an actor who wants to practice his craft and has been successful at it.
OK…He is named everywhere but I fail to see her name anywhere. Explain, please.
They said it wasn’t of a sexual nature but maybe it was – in which case her name would not be mentioned.
He probably was upset Viacom didnt give “Into the Wild” enough P & A !!!!
Is nobody gonna pick up on the fact that the incident is being investigated by Captain Kirk? Come on, Internet. This is what you were built for!
LOL! That was the 1st thing I noticed. Glad I’m not the only one.
“No, you’re absolutely right, Emile, 5’7 is not that short… for a FEMALE!”
BLAM!
Having been around him before I can say, Emile Hirsch is simply not a good guy. This is disgusting behavior, and I hope he pays for it.
This is the closest Hirsch has gotten to a studio executive in a long time.
solid.
Points!
I know a few female executives at paramount.
Instead of fistacuffs they could shout the guy down in a forceful but pleasant way.
Who was the exec?
And the name of the Paramiunt exec is????
Keep moving. Nothing to see here.
Partied a lot with Hirsch, he’s a wild man. No surprise here.
of course it wasn’t “of a sexual nature.” duh.

30 minutes later. And STILL laughing. thanks, pepe!
If this is newsworthy, why isn’t the executive named? Since law enforcement is involved, isn’t this now public record?
Why is every reporter afraid to name the Paramount executive? Who was she?
This is now a police investigation we should know who is filing the complaint against him.
Vanessa Joyce.
Nope.

Didn’t know he joined the NFL.
Exec : Hey Speed part 2 get a release date ? I heard the studio put out a press release for the 5 people inquiring about the sequel letting them know that all they had to do to see part 2 was follow a large dog around until it pinched a loaf & then stand there & watch the steam rise off of it & dry out for a couple of hours.. I said it would never work because it was to much like the first film, all they did was just replace the dog.. And that’s when he went nut’s
The coroner dr ‘bonnie’ mccoy arrived and wondered why she had been summoned and kept asking everybody what they expected her to do.
