Tim Robbins unable to attend Zathura premiere tonight

SEEKONK, Mass. -- Academy-Award-winning actor Tim Robbins is reported to be sick and won't be attending tonight's local premiere of Zathura, a feature film based on a children's book by Providence author Chris Van Allsburg.

Tonight's fundraising show at the Showcase Cinemas on Route 6 in will be attended by Jonah Bobo, a young actor who plays one of two squabbling brothers in the film, according to Lisa Van Allsburg, wife of the author, who organized the $250-a-head premiere to benefit four local art education groups. The movie opens nationwide on Friday.
