Wayfarer co-financed (with other studios) a movie Scarlett has already directed in NYC (it wrapped last April). Baldoni and Heath are both listed as executive producers but it looks like Scarlett's own production company (These Pictures), Pinky Promise, and Maven Pictures are doing the more hands on work. Wayfarer was just an investor.
Baldoni has no projects in pre-production or development, according to IMDB. Not as a producer, director, or actor.
Lively has three movies in development or pre-production. One of them is with Richard Gere, Diane Keaton, and Lin-Manuel Miranda and actually sounds pretty cute. It doesn't have a director attached yet that I can tell but I know who probably won't be considered.
Wow, if he can only get executive producer on a Scarlett Johanssen film, he's screwed.
That movie already wrapped. It filmed in spring of 2024. So his involvement predates any of the bad press around the Lively/It Ends With Us issues.
He has nothing else in the pipeline. Will be interesting to see if that continues. He has his own production company so Wayfarer could continue to bankroll stuff for him to direct, but it could be hard for him to get the cast he wants without broader industry interest. And It Ends With Us was distributed by Sony but I would bet they are not eager to do another project with Wayfarer or Baldoni given the mess this turned into. Also Lively is alleging that Baldoni didn't follow Sony's marketing plan for the movie (part of her allegations is that he intentionally tried to undermine her during promotion by not following the florals/story of redemption marketing Sony had planned and instead emphasizing the domestic violence angle, which Sony had explicitly not wanted them to emphasize in marketing) -- if there is truth to that, I would bet Sony was not happy about it, especially as this helped emphasize the drama between them.
I don't know. I don't think this whole thing is going to be *good* for Baldoni.
