Hollywood

They're really sorry, Mr. Penn

Buried on page 28 of today's Calendar section in the Times, Universal runs an unusual message in plain serif type, with no art or adornment:

Last week,
Universal Pictures and
the Los Angeles Times ran
a promotional advertisement
for "The Interpreter"
which featured the logo
of a third party.

Sean Penn was not consulted
about this advertisement as
is required in his agreement
with the film's production
company, Working Title.
Universal Pictures
regrets this oversight.
