[quote=Anonymous]Even if you are 100% on Blake’s side, and think that Justin was incompetent and Blake saved the movie, we have to agree on a few realities. Justin played a leading role. Unless I’ve missed something and Blake is saying that she somehow morphed into him and played that role as well? Can we acknowledge that he played a tough character, and he did a good job and that was contributing to the success of the film?

Blake is claiming she directed the whole film, but she was on set for 16 to 20 days and a full 50 percent of the movie is young Lily and young Atlas. She was not on set for those scenes. Justin directed those scenes so even if you believe her on her word that Justin did not direct a thing that Blake appeared in, he at least directed 50% of the movie. But somehow she has framed it as she has taken over directing of the whole movie.

It is crazy to me how people think the making of the movie is the six weeks of the film and not the years before that that went into putting together the infrastructure of the film, which is most of the hard work. I’m not in the industry, but I’m sure many of us have gone to 2 to 3 day work conferences and realized the hard work of the event team securing a space, making sure people have housing and food, making sure presenters are recruited and know where to show up and what to talk about, setting the agenda, registering people. As the producer Justin did and led a team that did a whole bunch of that leg work before Blake was even thought of for this movie.

That’s why I found the PGA letter just maddening. Because it wasn’t just Justin but Blake just dismissed the work of so many, but Justin was at the helm.

So to see people say he was incompetent and shouldn’t be in a leadership role just really dismisses all that work. And I’m not saying that the set was not a horrible crap show, and that the Sony executives dropped the ball as well but people are dismissing that the whole reason Ryan Reynolds was even involved in this train wreck was because Justin did a whole lot of work to build that universe.
