| Topic | Cast/crew walk off Roe v. Wade film after being mislead to think it's pro-choice |
| Hayame Zero 07/08/18 4:55:19 PM #1: | https://theplaylist.net/roe-v-wade-secret-20180706/ One of the most controversial films of the year is shooting right now, and you probably dont even have a clue. And thats not meant as a jab against your intelligence, instead, it speaks volumes about the actual production. Nick Loeb and Cathy Allynare currently filming Roe v. Wade, but they really dont want anyone to know about it. And for good reason, because once people find out what the film is about, everyone turns against them. Even their cast and crew. Earlier this week, THR had a report about the film, and it included some stories about how Loeb and Allyn were intentionally keeping the details about their pro-life film about the supreme court case from cast and crew because they knew people would be upset. Because once people working on the film became aware of the content, its led to numerous crew members storming off set, locations being shut down, and even the actress set to play Jane Roe in the film quitting. Now, you might be thinking that these people have a right to tell whatever story they want, as long as they have the means to do it. And thats completely true. However, in a follow-up article about the production from The Daily Beast, it appears that the writer-directing duo has been misleading everyone and filming secret cameos featuring controversial political figures. Long story short, the production sounds like a complete shitshow, at best, and an elaborate con game, at worst. When I read the first two pages, I was like what the fuck is this? one crew member said. The Daily Beasts report is from various cast and crew, who are obviously keeping their anonymity. The trouble began on Day 1 when the original director of the film and the first AD both quit. From there, Loeb and Allyn (who have no experience) assumed directorial duties. The duo gave location scouts a whitewashed synopsis which has been used to secure locations for filming. However, in multiple instances, including at Tulane University, once the location found out what the film was truly about, production was booted. This has led to a moratorium on letting people read the script. That includes the cast. Theyre not keeping people in the loop with the script, one crew member said. When people finally receive the script, theyve dropped out really fast. After people started dropping out, they said, OK, dont send people the scripts anymore. Instead, theyve been changing lines and scenes before they shoot. And before you think this is some amateur film that has no real talent behind it, you have to hear who theyve cast for this ridiculous venture. Jon Voight, Robert Davi, Corbin Bernsen, John Schneider, Steve Guttenberg, William Forsythe, Wade Williams and Richard Portnow have all been cast as Supreme Court justices. Stacy Dash (Clueless) is in the cast, as well. And Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, is a producer and has a cameo in the film. --- ...I think I'm done here... ...
