Save The Baby

[Blind Gossip] What. A. Mess!

This actor is one of the biggest heartthrobs in the world, thanks to his youth, good looks, and roles in a couple of films that were especially popular among teen viewers.

That early success means that he is in high demand at top dollar. He is currently filming a TV series, and a big movie he worked on is currently in post-production.

He allegedly did something very stupid. He is accused of assaulting an underage girl. Although it was a few years ago, he was already an adult when this happened.

While Hollywood is still a boys club, the criminal element of this event could ruin his career.

Of course his team is in crisis mode right now.

However, we are going to focus on what we are hearing about the movie.

It’s a big movie. Huge! It’s a remake of a classic. Large, divergent cast, famous director.

The film is scheduled to be released this holiday season. And now they have a tainted star on their hands.

Uh oh.

Total panic. They finished production a year ago. It’s in post. He’s the star of the film, for f*cks sake. He has more minutes (of screen time) than anyone else in the movie.

That’s not good.

They are in for over $100M already. ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS!!!

That’s really not good.

What the hell do they do with the movie? Are they supposed to just shelve it? Recast and then reshoot the entire thing? Recast and then CGI him out of the scenes that can’t be reshot?

Since they finished production a year ago, the cast has scattered and all the sets have been struck. They can certainly do amazing things with CGI, but even that has its limits.

It is not the producers’ fault that their star caused this mess, but they will have to make some very big decisions very soon to save the baby (the movie).

We have no idea what his team will do to save his career.

We have no idea what the producers will do to save their movie.

Messy!

    Actor – Ansel Elgort, oh dear.
    Clues are divergent, fault that their stars, baby (for baby driver) – all movies he’s been in.
    Movie – Westside Story. All I have to say is why.

  5. Vidalia Q Intrigue says

    Ansel Elgort
    West Side Story
    clues: baby (Baby Driver), divergent (Divergent), boys club (Billionaire Boys Club), fault that their star (The Fault In Our Stars)

  9. Teressa S says

    I’m going to guess …
    🤦🏻‍♂️ Timothée Chalamet …
    🎥 Dune …
    🔎 Chalamet is 24 yrs old. Dune comes out in Dec 18 & is a remake of a clasic sci-fi, directed by Denis Villeneuve, divergent cast inc. Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar issac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem, Charlotte Rampling and David Dastmalchian.

  10. GirlPlease says

    Ansel Elgort (what a name!) And the baby is West Side Story.

    No idea what they’ll do, but I definitely understand their worry. It would be sooo expensive to recast and reshoot. But it could cause the film to flop at the box office if no one wants to see it because of Ansels bad antics.

  11. abigaildom says

    Actor: Ansel Elgort
    Movie: Steven Spielberg’s Disney Holiday release of West Side Story. Elgort was casted as Tony
    Clues: the baby driving in the picture. He was the main star in the movie Baby Driver.
    “Large, divergent cast” was also in Divergent.
    “not the producers’ fault that their star” reference to The Fault in our Stars?
    Tv show would be HBO’s Tokyo Vice.

  12. bec215d says

    Timothee Chalamet finished principal filming on the Dune remake July 2019, but he’s not in any current TV show that I can find. Pattinson’s “The Batman” just began filming in January. Dylan Sprouse has a film in post and is on a tv show, but not a worldwide heartthrob. No idea…

    Actor: Miles Teller

    Clues: Large, divergent cast, famous director. fault that their star

  14. Sangfroid says

    Ansel Elgort, in the remake of West Side Story.

    Baby, referencing his film Baby Driver was one of the clues!

    “Not the Directors’ fault their star caused this mess”; Ansel was also in The Fault in our Stars.

    clues: baby, the baby driving the car etc

    optional: absolutely nothing, he deserves to lose his career. multiple girls have come forward with proof. so long creep.
    As far as the movie goes.. tough. people will boycott if they keep him in it and ansel doesn’t deserve a dime more. i imagine they will have to reshoot, at the very least w/cgi

  28. Ralphie says

    I saw this story on our local feed today (West Side Story remake filmed here and starring a local girl) and was waiting for BG!

    Actor: Ansel Elgort
    Film: West Side Story remake (Spielberg directed)
    Clues: repeated use of Baby for Baby Driver and he was in The Fault in our Stars (not the directors’ fault)

    His Twitter is damning. He hides behind his cute facade but says some troubling things. He may be beyond saving…

  29. swimmersuite says

    Ansel Elgort
    West Side Story
    What will they do to save the “baby” (he was the lead in the movie baby driver)

  33. Jenn123 says

    Divergent is an obvious clue. Both Miles Teller and Ansel Elgort were in that and are starring in remakes of classics due out during the holidays (Top Gun & West Side Story, respectively).

    I’m going with Ansel. Miles doesn’t seem to have a TV series filming. Also, the way they describe him as “already an adult” “a few years ago” makes me think it’s someone who was barely an adult a few years ago. Ansel is in his mid 20’s. Miles is in his 30’s.

  35. TeacherKat says

    Ansel Elgort
    West Side Story
    Clues: pic of a baby driving (baby driver) was the first big clue of many.

    Optional: if he really did what he is accused of, he should just go away (preferably to jail). There needs to be an investigation to figure out what happened and go from there.

  36. Whisper says

    Actor: Pattinson
    Movie: Batman
    Clues: criminal element? (Joker etc..)
    I’m surprised, never thought of him as a predator. I have no clue how to save the film- if it leaks (and if true it should) then the film will bomb or maybe won’t open. In the can, right?

  39. MaryQuiteContrary says

    Actor: Ansel Elgort

  40. ItsBouquet says

    Ansel Elgort. No part of him is cute, I don’t understand the hype.

    Movie is West Side Story.

    Can it. That’s what insurance is for. Whether it’s true or not, it’ll forever be associated with that assault.

    Clues: Baby (he was in Baby Driver), Divergent (he was in Divergent)

    What to do: Face the consequences. Spinning anything will look like a guilty cover up.

  50. wombat says

    Actor: Ansel Elgort
    Movie: West Side Story
    Clues: divergent cast (Divergent movies), save the baby (Baby Driver), Hollywood is a boys club (Billionaire Boys Club)

  51. Glamma says

    Ansel Elgort was previously accused by a 15 yr old girl of inappropriate behavior and recently a girl claimed to have had sex with him at 17 when he was 20+

  52. aaaAlex_S says

    Anselm Elgort

    West Side Story

    Divergent, Billionair boys club

    She was 17, he just over 20. The age od consent in the UK is 16, so she wasn’t underaged technically. And – really – people should go to police before they go on twitter. Otherwise it looks like fangirl revenge fantasy.

  53. aaaLmw14 says

    Actor: Ansel Elgort

    Movie: west side story

    Clues: divergent, fault (that their) star, baby (driver)

  54. PomegranatePam says

    Ansel

    Any efforts to save him or his work will probably be thwarted by more girls coming forward. Maybe younger than 17. That dude is CREEPY.

  56. wonderstrucker009 says

    Tony in Steven Spielberg’s remake of West Side Story, opposite 17-year-old newcomer Rachel Zegler as his star-crossed lover, Maria.

    Clues: Divergent and Fault Their Star.

  60. spidermaino says

    Ansel elgort, west side story. Clues: Baby (from movie Baby Driver), Divergent, “Tainted star on their hands” could be wordplay of “fault in our stars”? Lol.

    Anyways. He’s in deep sh*t.

    If there’s even a shred of truth, Disney will have no choice but to scrap it.

    Ansel Elgort
    West Side Story
    Clues: He was in The Fault in Our Stars and the Divergent series
    Eh, I wasn’t hopeful the remake was gonna be any good anyway. I love the original, but the new leads seem bland, as do the costume and production design. They sucked all the color out!

  70. amagod121 says

    Ansel Elgort

    West Side Story?

    Optnl: Pull him from public view. If he’s guilty, no one will want to see him anyway. If he’s innocent, being away from the nastiness for awhile won’t harm him. As for saving their movie, I really don’t know or care. The girl’s life has been affected if true, and if he’s innocent, then Ansel’s life has been adversely affected, and that’s what is important here, not some blasted movie. Hollyweird really has some strange priorities

  71. AmateurGossipHour says

    Actor: Ansel Elgort

    Movie: West Side Story

    Clues:
    Baby Driver, The Fault in Our Stars – Movies which started Ansel Elgort are both popular among teen viewers.
    Famous Director – Steven Spielberg
    CGI – Spieberg is renowned for his cutting edge CGI work.
    The BFG – Produced and Directed by Spielberg.

  73. troioi says

    Obviously Ansel Elgort and West Side Story.

    Some fun clues:

    Photo of the baby driving -> baby driver
    “Divergent”
    “Not the producers’ fault that their star” -> fault in our stars

    Not sure what the producers will do. I could see them putting a lot of press toward the other cast members like Rachel Zegler to try and get the film through. I was looking forward to seeing WSS personally but news of this allegation is uncomfortable. The WSS Broadway revival was tainted for similar reasons.

  77. woodsgal says

    Actor: Ansel Elgort who was in “Baby Driver” (clue)
    Movie: West Side Story
    Director: Spielberg

    Happened years ago when he was 20 and she was 17 – hardly a shocking age difference.

  78. hannahhkate says

    Ansel Elgort, West Side Story.

    Nothing left to do. His career is probably over.

  80. Rain456 says

    Actor: Ansel Elgort
    Movie: West Side Story
    Clues: “Baby”(he was in Baby Driver), the related blind is about him.
    What they should do: Shove the movie into an on-demand release and hope for the best. I sincerely doubt people will be going to theaters anytime soon anyway.

    “one of the biggest heartthrobs in the world” … REALLY?

  84. sitbyme says

    Ansel Elgort. West Side Story. Spielberg & Co. need to do like Ridley Scott did and replace Elgort/reshoot Tony’s scenes with a better, non-creepy actor.

  91. cuppycakes01 says

    Ansel Elgort was accused of r*ping a 17 year old girl.

    Movie is West side story

  93. anniecakes109 says

    Ansel Elgort, the movie is the West Side Story remake. He was also in BABY Driver. 😉

  94. VegasMike says

    Ansel Elgort
    West Side Story
    “Large, divergent cast, famous director.” He was in the Divergent triogy
    “While Hollywood is still a boys club” – Billionaire Boys Club
    “big decisions very soon to save the baby” – Baby Driver
    “they have a tainted star”, “their star caused this mess” – Fault in our Stars
    “the criminal element of this” – November Criminals
    [Optional] I think they’re both screwed. He’s history, career done! They might be able to CGI the hell outta the film, Sux…
