[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line : no one was ‘offended’ at one of the hottest directors in Hollywood (and one of the hottest movie stars in Hollywood) on their sex scenes for the Sinners movie.

But you guys are offended that Baldoni, like Coogler, called for several sex scenes from several different actresses, and poor Blake thought they were in bad taste.

Tell that to Hailee Steinfeld and Michael B Jordan. Hailee will be happy to take on Blakes role in the next edition, regardless of who directs. Or a Jennifer Lawrence or a host of other actresses. Get Scarlett back! Shit she did  that drama with Adam Driver!

There are so many other actresses that Baldoni can and should work with going forward.

Do any of those actresses want to make a movie with Justin Baldoni? Even if he weren't involved in this lawsuit, I'm guessing the answer is no.[/quote]

Why? Scarlett just did. Doesn’t get much bigger than her so confused as why you would say that. [/quote]

No I mean as a director. Was Justin on the set of that movie? No. And Scarlett directed and Justin was not directly involved. Wayfarer was the financing producer. There were several smaller production companies involved. Neither Justin nor Heath have a p.g.a. credit on the movie.

Scarlett is not going to make a movie with Justin Baldoni as the director. Not now, not ever.[/quote]

How would you know Arlington mom?[/quote]

I'm not "Arlington mom" but the reason why is Scarlett is an A-list actress who can do whatever projects she wants and she doesn't have to make corny schlock, which is all Baldoni has ever made. And also because no one will want to work with someone who, AT BEST, was an ineffectual and tone deaf director who was unprofessional on set and couldn't figure out how to work with a challenging lead. At worst, he is a harasser whose set was a hostile work environment and made multiple actresses uncomfortable and then retaliated against his lead via a PR campaign right as the movie was coming out.

I don't know where he lands along that continuum because I don't know who to believe here. But even if I take Justin at his word, he was pretty awful on this movie, talking out of both sides of his mouth, telling talent they could do whatever they want while telling other producers he was keeping her in check (he wasn't). He was also, sorry, a gigantic baby in post-production and during marketing of the film. The whiny messages with his editors during that whole situation? He comes off so unprofessional and weak. And then when he was mad about how promotion was going, he first claims some kind medical issue he now claims was related to the stress from the Blake situation (though he also had some medical issue with his leg in the fall -- he strikes me as the kind of person who suddenly has a medical malady when they want people to feel sorry for them which is super irritating) and then he just skipped town to hang out in Sweden in the weeks before the movie came out? And then he went to Sweden again right after the film opened? He seems like an unprofessional baby and yes that's true even if everything he alleges about Blake turns out to be true, which I'm open to. Grow up. You're a director of a major film with a global release via Sony. His behavior was ridiculous.

So no, ScarJo and Jennifer Lawrence are not going to do movies with him directing, lol. His rep as a director is toast. And that's in a town where Olivia Wilde is still getting directing jobs even after the mess she made on Don't Worry Darling. She might be messy but she at least got it together and did her job when it came to promoting the movie, even with all the awkwardness with Florence Pugh. Because she is an adult and Baldoni is a child. He is not cut out for this job. Go back to making sappy "documentary shorts" that prey on dying people in their last days or whatever he was doing before. He's not making A-list movies, not ever again.[/quote]
