: I think there is definitely still time.
: Genie’s
: agent released a statement verifying that
: she wants to be on contract and she was
: totally blindsided by this decision. Not
: sure
: of his exact words, but the link is on the
: board in a post. I think it was in
: Entertainment Weekly.
:
: James Giddey indicated that Frank does
: stuff like this on a whim without a good
: reason.
:
: There’s certainly no indication that Genie
: or any veteran holds up production. Seems
: like it would be just the opposite.

: Would Genie even want to do it? I guess
: that depends on what the plans were for
: Laura, the commitment, her personal
: situation at that time. It also would
: depend on why they let her go in the first
: place. Was it a budget problem or something
: else? Lots of people move on when contract
: talks stall, but it isn't done with the kind
: of brutality and surprise that Genie just
: endured.
:
: It got me to thinking. Why would Genie have
: so much difficulty with FV? Why would she
: have had problems with JFP? Aside from
: contract negotiations. an EP has the prime
: responsibility to keep production moving.
: Anyone who throws a snag into the wheels is
: a problem. They operate at warp speed over
: there. There is no rehearsal to speak of.
: You get a call to come to the set, you zoom
: up there, shoot your scene, and you're done.
: Someone who requires more attention (hair,
: make-up, wardrobe, etc) could be perceived
: as a problem. It could be something as
: simple as that. So, maybe a new EP who
: would be more tolerant would be able to
: handle that if it were a problem. I don't
: know anything about Genie's situation. It
: just seems so strange that an EP would fire
: a star without any justification, throw his
: writers into a tizzy, and alienate a huge
: fanbase.
