von_geisterhandRidley Scott talks about cutting Spacey out of film (BBC Entertainments)
"In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Scott said: "You can't tolerate any kind of behaviour like that."
The director said: "You can't condone that kind of behaviour in any shape or form," adding that keeping Spacey in the picture would have spelled disaster for the film.
"We cannot let one person's action affect the good work of all these other people. It's that simple," he said."
Or in other words: You had words with the accounting department and they told you what it would cost to reshoor the scenes with Plummer, compared it to the projections of how much money you would lose in revenue and potential awards and told you to go ahead. Do not insult anybody's intelligence. This has nothing to do with moral integrity. It all comes downs to money.
It was known for decades what Weinstein was up to but as long as nobody made too much of a fuss and the dough kept rolling in, who cares about a few starlets? Even if damaged, they are a renewable source of revenue. Now was a good time to hang the fat Jew out to dry. The political climate is right and as long as everybody uses him as a pinata, everything else can go as always without drawing any attention. Nice going.
