CK's apology is an improvement on the others, but for some reason the fact that he kept using the word "dick" made it seem.........strange!

No, I don't think so. It looks like a photoshop job. They spelt his name wrong for a start.

Jesus. If only she could have implicated his peer on the X Men films Singer.

Reading all that, it makes me unbelievably disturbed thinking of one of her breakout roles, Hard Candy.

I don't get it. Why pull a production only to release a statement declaring the person's innocence?

They didn't, it's a denial by the actor

Eastwick should have an independent spokesperson in that case. The quoted excerpt came from a BBC spokesperson. I find that bizarre given they're the ones who are holding him guilty.

A BBC spokesperson has said the actor denies the allegations. I'm not seeing the problem.

The guy that accused Charlie Sheen of abusing Corey Haim, Dominick Brascia, has been suspected of abusing Haim for years ever since Feldman wrote his memoirs and dropping in some not so suttle hints that Dominick did it. Today Judy Haim (Corey's mother) officially named Dominick as the abuser today.

Greg Gutfeld's 'Red Eye'! That must be a few years old!!
Greg is bat**** crazy. This is typical of what was on that late(very)

Thank you for posting! It was funny in the beginning but the end
was disturbing, even though the anger seemed fake.

It is fake, she's an actress. It was a scene from his tv show. Hiding in plain sight.

I am not keen on this approach. A production like that has literally hundreds of people involved. One of them is a bad guy and all of them lose out on exposure and residuals? It's massively unfair. I look forward to seeing someone in that position suing. Anyone with a percentage in their own movie must have a great case.

Genuinely impressed by how fast it seems to have been done and I'd say that Scott relished going to the producers and getting his way with Plummer.

Has this ever happened before? Where a star was totally written out of a movie just as it was about to be released?

pixelburp · 30-11-2017 09:47AM

I wonder about the scenes from earlier trailers that seemed to show Spacey on location in more exotic, far-flung locales; did they / will they just green screen Plummer into those or maybe reshoot somewhere easier to spec & set-up.

On that note, Scott claims he took on the reshoots as a fun challenge to himself; apparently Sony dismissed the idea the idea, Scott responding with 'hold my drink'. Not bad going for a man pushing 80, whose age has I've definitely read being used against him.

I know it's happened with animation a few times, I think both Paddington and Her had voice actors recast although I don't think it was to distance from original voice actor.
I can't think of any time it's happened live action though.
