Actually, there wasn't a single Latino or Asian person represented in her crew, and she went with white casting directors. Her definition of "diversity" isn't that diverse.

He was probably paid for being on Project Greenlight, though, so he still got his day rate.

But she's the one who was so proud of bringing in two white casting directors, rather than a person of color to do the casting, because one of them was a woman. That was how she brought diversity to the casting process. She's partly responsible for the lack of diversity in the cast.

Or his willingness to ask questions that might have the answer "No." They're both obnoxious and difficult to work with, which seems obvious, and I agree that they never should have worked together.

Actually, I agree with her in not using the black extra to play a chauffeur, but what I thought was interesting is that while she was so busy patting herself on the back over how "diverse" her production team was, I noticed that her casting team was a white man and a white woman.

I'm sorry. Is it bothering you? You can stop reading my comments if you'd like.

But he also sprained his wrist talking about how much he loved the "improvisational" nature of watching his actors work and clearly "dick" worked better for Davison than "prick."

If I'm being totally (venomously) honest, I have no love lost for her, either. It's Marc Joubert that I feel for. He's go-between and he doesn't seem very happy about it.

Because location shooting worked out so well the first two times.

Ben Affleck won for making a theatrical movie set in 1979 and using a lot of news footage from the time. Justifying using film in that instance makes sense.

I would? Do I know you?

But you said it yourself, there's no comparison. From what we've seen of "The Leisure Class" it's a middling comedy about class, but Jason kept making Davison redo one line because he changed "pricks" to "dicks."

Len Amato said it in real time while he was on the set. He said that Jason keeps wasting time shooting the same thing without changing the set up.

Connect the dots in his interviews. He whined about how Effie just said no without being encouraging and supportive, like his parents always were. He said something about moving away from home "11 years ago" and Effie's said he's never had a job.

No, it's more like commenters are pissing on a complete novice for thinking he knows better than the professionals hired to work with him. He hasn't earned the right to be so demanding, yet, since he knows nothing about actually directing a feature on someone else's budget.

Exactly. When Jason said no initially everyone, including Ben Affleck, expressed concern that Jason wasn't concerned about finding a location. But Jason thought a 200 year old home would magically appear in Southern California if he just waited long enough then he had to "settle" for the Fairbanks home.

I don't know. Just watching the trailer for Lost In La Mancha and I saw enough people willing to question everything about Terry Gilliam, with cause, that I can't imagine this crew was that scared of shit-talking Jason.

Can't remember his exact words, but Amato suggested that if they switched to digital they'd have to reshoot what was already done. So … I have no idea.

Not in that neighborhood.

They're shooting in a posh section of Beverly Hills. You don't just walk up to the house and say, "Hey, can we shoot at night in your neighborhood?" There's a lot of things that could be holding up approval, including a neighbor who just doesn't want to deal with a night shoot down the street.
