A young actress recently departed an upcoming production. Despite the public statements, her departure was not voluntary.
Want to know what really happened? The casting for this upcoming movie was announced.
However, the public complained about the producer’s choice for the lead role because of “her look.”
The producers buckled under the backlash.
They publicly continued to support their choice… but quickly started looking for a replacement.
All of their secondary choices were already booked, so they went to a performance showcase.
They saw a young, unknown actress there who had the basic skills and, more importantly, “looked the part.”
They pulled her aside and told her that they were offering her the star-making role of a lifetime… but that she only had fifteen minutes to decide!
Of course, The Replacement jumped at the chance. As soon as the Replacement agreed, the producers called in the Original Actress for a meeting and told her that she was being fired.
She was shocked and disappointed and cried.
They told her that if she left quietly, they would pretend that it was her decision and that the movie was on hold.
However, if she created a fuss and did not leave quietly, they were going to announce that they were firing her and re-casting the role.
She agreed to leave quietly.
They found The Replacement on Saturday.
On Sunday, The Original Actress publicly announced that she was pulling out of the film because of unspecified “production issues.”
The producers followed up saying that they were “sad” that The Original Actress had decided to leave, and that the entire project was now on hold. Ha!
They were all lying!
The Original Actress was fired, there were no production issues, the project is not on hold, they have already hired The Replacement, production is back on schedule, a complete unknown is going to become a star… and it only took screwing over one young actress to make it all happen!
Look for an announcement of the re-casting early next week, with the producers pretending that their discovery of The Replacement was a happy accident.
