If you cheat your talent out of millions, and instead give the money to the top execs. . .proving that you knew you were cheating the talent. . .you shouldn't be surprised by a lawsuit
As I said, I don't care. Should I be surprised about greed? Both sides want to keep as much of the money as possible. I don't have the contract to read what was agreed to but the courts will decide that. Disney a monster and ScarJo is a gorgeous liberal wack-job.
All I'm saying is it shouldn't be a surprise that Disney is cutting the cords with someone that is suing the.
I person would pull for a scoreless tie.

Not sure I understand this thread. Is Disney supposed to keep working with a person that is actively suing them? That doesnt happen in any field of work.

I’m sure everyone will be fine without the Tower of Terror film.
You say cancelled like this was a film deep in production.

I don’t know how anyone can possibly think Disney is in the right here. Short of being paid by Disney to shill for them, it blows my mind that anyone would argue in their defense.
This is an exceedingly simple issue. Disney agreed, in a legal contract, to release the movie exclusively to theaters and to pay their star a portion of the box. They violated that agreement. They should be held liable for damages.
This idea that they were “boxed in” by the pandemic is absurd. Warner had the same agreements in all of their stars’ contracts, which is why they preemptively agreed to pay $200,000,000 to their talent in order to remove those straight to theater clauses from their contracts. Disney could have done the same. But they thought, as you so eloquently explained, that they could strong-arm their actors into getting nothing by threatening to take away future projects.
Disney made a bet that the workers they fricked over would be too scared for their future careers to try to pursue legal compensation for a broken contract. They were wrong. And they should have to pay out of the arse for it.

I just want to say shite on a article about Scar that doesn't include a pic of Scar.

The Mouse will pay or the Mouse will have to find new talent. Good luck getting any known names with these facts being known.

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Scarjo had a good thing going. She got greedy. Now she’s out. Disney controls their own narrative. The mouse is still gonna get it’s cheese while she gets blackballed. Dummy.
There is a good book called The Mouse that Roared, don’t frick with the mouse.

I'm sure she knew that suing them would put an end to any Disney projects and probably didn't care to work with them again anyways. Marvel was done for her so she has no more cash cow to worry about

Do you know all of this for a fact?

Have you ever heard of workers compensation litigation or arbitration for disciplined union employees?
Corporations work and employee people that are actively suing them all the time - they are used to it.
Try to not talk about things you really dont know about and just do your work at your desk less the big man track your posting and terminate you

You know Stan Lee sued Marvel, right? The Marvel that employed him in some fashion till the day he died.

I think you meant "employ", but OK, I never said otherwise.

How many Disney ride films turned into anything besides Pirates?
And frankly Pirates was a ripoff of the On Stranger Tides book and Secret Of Monkey Island games that came before it rather than the ride.

This.
Her character is deader than dead in the mainstream MCU, so any further appearances by her would be a multiverse duplicate.
And since her character has been in the Marvel films since Iron Man 2 and she just had a movie released after her character’s death, the franchise was pretty much done with her.
Tower Of Terror is technically a loss for her but a bankable female star can replace a project like that easily.

But the force is female! Just not on the balance sheet I guess.

Yeah good example bro. ScoJo is the creative genius behind Disney. Really similar. You burned me.

ScarJo was completely in the right suing them IMO. Her payment was mostly dependent on theater sales, and Disney released it for streaming on D+ without restructuring her contract beforehand so she got nothing from the D+ streams (despite them costing $30), and the theatrical release numbers were unusually low for obvious reasons. She got hosed.
I mean she made $20 Million up front
Posted on 8/12/21 at 10:26 am to jbraua
And her pay was also tied into a percentage of the theatrical gross.
And by doing a hybrid theatrical / D+ release, Disney clearly lowered the theatrical gross significantly through their own actions.
