Daily Blind Item — Blacklisted
An email was sent around town during the production of this A list movie about the movie’s director(s). It was sent to the most powerful people in the industry: agents, executives and producers alike.
Nobody will share the content of the email, but a source confirms the content resulted in the unofficial blacklisting of the director(s) and several people linked or involved.
So, tell me, Gossipers:
Who is our director(s)?

I created a personal blacklist solely for Michael Bay.

Ain’t that the truth. I’ve got Bay and Adam Sandler on mine!!!

It seems like the great American public placed Adam Sandler on a blacklist of sorts in recent years. About time I say, dear.

I’m dangerously close to adding Cameron Crowe and Woody Allen. CC can’t make a good movie past the millennium and I’m a self-indulgent New York fag and even I’m bored of Woody.

If it isn’t about Michael Bay, it needs to be.

Bay’s underrated. He’s a hack, but he puts out enjoyable shit like The Rock and Con Air.

We really need a Fox email hack. Think of the gossip.
LikeLike
Fox must be a goldmine of gossip given the last few years. This would be the perfect time for it to happen. Just like the Sony Hacking happened at the right time. I better quickly condemn hacking before the FBI arrest me over conspiracy… It’s bad!

The Sony hack was so invasive, but I loved reading Amy Pascal’s emails with Scott Rudin…

Blacklisting isn’t common, but it isn’t extinct either. A documentary called Overnight explores the concept in modern times after another director (Troy Duffy) was blacklisted by the industry.
LikeLike
Duffy was an arrogant, self-destructive moron, gaining and losing opportunities most aspiring directors and writers would kill for. I still feel sorry for the Weinsteins over how that played out and I usually despise Harvey.

This sounds really interesting. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of the story. I’m definitely going to check out Overnight…

Let me know how you find it? I’m looking and can’t find it anywhere. Not even a bad upload on YouTube

I watched that with a boyfriend who wanted to be a filmmaker and he completely related to Duffy. Big warning sign.

They have been in talks about directing The Flash & another movie with a different studio. If they were blacklisted they would not be getting any meetings, let alone be in talks to direct movies for big studios.
