[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alex Sachs has absolutely has no credibility. On Reddit Someone posted her deposition about how Julie Bloom, the A.D. that Blake had fired, deserved to be fired because she was weak and didn’t have the experience for the job.

The poster came with the receipts. Julie is  a 30 year veteran of Hollywood. She’s worked on some of the most successful movies in the last 30 years, movies starring, jen Aniston, Sandra, Bullock, Will Smith, Paul Rudd, Nicole Kidman and more. Big big budget movies, much bigger than it ends with us and bigger than anything Alex has worked on.

Will be very interesting to see where Alex‘s career goes after this. Did she just not think anyone would read this?[/quote]

Saks didn't say Bloom wasn't experienced. What she said was that she had most recently been working in TV, which has different demands than a film other than pilots because working as a first AD on an existing TV show allows you to come in to an already working set.

That said, I do think Bloom was ultimately put in an impossible position and her firing was a bit of scapegoating. But not for Blake, for Baldoni. He was a weak leader and the production was sloppy and disorganized. With a stronger leader, Bloom likely would have been fine. But because Baldoni was in way of his head AND was trying to direct and act and produce, and because Heath had very limited experience producing movies (mostly smaller, lower budget movies for Wayfarer and they haven't been at it for long), that puts enormous pressure on the 1st AD to pick up the slack. Saks wanted to get rid of Baldoni and Heath, but of course they couldn't because as Ange Gianetti told her, Wayfarer isn't going to fire themselves off their own movie. So instead they replaced Bloom in the hopes of finding a 1st AD who could help overcome Baldoni's and Heath's major deficiencies. That doesn't really reflect that poorly on Bloom.

If I'm Julie Bloom right now, I'm probably grateful to have been kicked off this production given what a total mess it has become. By being fired early on, it's probably limited her legal bill in association with the lawsuit. Also, it will be abundantly clear to anyone in Hollywood that this was a dysfunctional production for reasons that had nothing to do with Bloom. It's like a badge of honor.[/quote]

Yea I can read the deposition for myself so I don’t need your moronic interpretation. Alex said she was weak and that yes she didn’t have the experience for a big film. When you can go to Julie Bloom’s page you can see that she was worked on some of the biggest films from the last couple decades, including with A-list actors much much bigger than Z list Blake.

Alex has no credibility after saying that especially looking at her résumé which is much weaker than Julie’s.

And now her words are out there for everyone to see and again I look forward to seeing the impact of this scandal on her career. I have a feeling we won’t be seeing Alex attached to any more films. Maybe Isabel can get her a waitressing job in Brooklyn.[/quote]
