The Stall And The Fade And The Buffer

November 30, 2021 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] We told you over a year ago that producers were in a full-throated panic over what to do with this big budget movie!

A major problem with the star of the movie had them questioning everything from casting to release dates.

They eventually chose to keep the actor and just stall the release. By an entire year.

Nobody is really questioning the stall because all release dates have been wacky for more than a year, so they really caught a break there. They just kept saying it was in post.

They were correct about guessing that memories would fade over time over what he did. We’re not hearing any outrage over his behavior and everybody from the production was coached to just pretend that he’s just this great, talented guy that they loved to work with.

One other thing.

There was some chatter early on about possibly pairing him with [his female costar] in a Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart kind of arrangement. That idea went out the window over a year ago.

Thank goodness Robsten II didn’t happen!

However, they did see the benefit of Actor having a girl by his side.

Bringing a date with him for the red carpet is a strategy. She’s a buffer. Interviewers are a lot less likely to shout questions about his treatment of women with her standing next to him.

No, she isn’t dating him. She’s a temporary prop. If she likes him, he can’t be all that bad to women, right?

So the big movie gets released – although a year late – and Actor gets away clean with barely a ding to his reputation.

All thanks to the stall and the fade and the buffer.

    Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler, Violetta Komyshan.

    Won’t be watching. The outrage is coming back from the public, but the press machine is ignoring it on purpose. What a disgusting hypocritical hollywood

    I guess they had to release it eventually, but I don’t think it will do great at the box office anyway. It is always a huge mistake to try and remake a absolute classic film, it can never be as good as the original.

      Yes, this! Armie and his army of yes men (plus one yes woman) to the rescue!

      I think he is one heck of a creepy dude and would NEVER go out of my way to see a movie that he is in. Frankly, I never want to see anything that he is in after reading about his desire to go on a picnic with a young cast member’s leg as lunch. Sorry dude, but that is a firm “oh heck, NO!”

    Given that I totally missed this accusation and the movie is getting rave reviews, I guess it was the right move. Probably won’t go see it; will just wait for it to hit cable.

    Yes. The movie is big budget and they can’t have him tank it

    P.s. he’s a creep. I hope his career fails and he’s never heard from again.

    Movie, West Side Story

    Actor, not-even-cute Ansel Elgort or whatever his name is, who was doing questionable s*xual stuff which was forgotten because covid, politics, everything else in 2020-21 messed with our memories. The supposed gf (not the actress who plays Maria, but the contracted gf) did not look thrilled to be with him.

    I didn’t know about the allegations until a few minutes ago. I haven’t been to a movie theater in years so it is doubtful I will see the movie. Another film that didn’t need to be remade. Hollywood has apparently run out of new, original, ideas. Everything seems to be a remake these days!

    Actor: Ansel Elgort- I think he was accused of manipulating a barely legal girl to have sex when she said she didn’t like it.

    Movie: Westside Story 2
    No interest in seeing it.

    No, love the Original. Why was a remake needed? More money for the studios?
