He's going to be completely uninsurable before long.

I hope so. He shouldn't get away with it.

Imagine if an actress dared to do this - twice
She would be blacklisted for years…

She wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do it twice.

Kim Basinger got sued by the studio when she dropped out of Boxing Helena. She had to pay them & declared bankruptcy. She and the studio settled for a lesser amount.

True but also Lindsay Lohan has had a million chances

such an asshole

[genbu_no_miko24]

That's very unprofessional of him!

I didn’t hate Split, and thought McAvoy made it watchable.

Joaquin dropping out of that movie was not a bad thing.
