I follow people that I disagree with 80% of the time. I do not always agree with the people that I follow and it's bizarre that people actually believe that you have to. And sometimes I unfollow people because I never interact with them or we just don't click and that's not a big deal.

Despite a cast letter asking for James Gunn to be reinstated as the director of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” Walt Disney Studios is currently not planning on rehiring the filmmaker who it recently fired after a series of offensive tweets surfaced, according to multiple people familiar with the studio’s current thinking. The feeling within both Disney and Marvel is that the dozens of so-called jokes that Gunn made about pedophilia and rape are unacceptable in the #MeToo era and are not in line with Disney’s family-friendly image.

At this point, the letter does not seem likely to save his job. Gunn’s firing was approved by Disney Studios chief Alan Horn, with his boss, company CEO Bob Iger weighing in on the final decision

Quote

As for replacing Gunn, Disney feels no pressure to immediately find a new director, according to sources, and is willing to wait until the right A-list filmmaker comes along. For one, the studio never gave the film an official release date, even though it was widely expected to hit theaters within the next two years. Depending on how long it takes to land the right director, Disney may in fact wind up pushing back the film’s original February 2019 start date.

I'd say the main reason they can't rehire him is that they don't want to walk back on a decision they made in front of everyone. Best to just let bygones be bygones and make sure any future director scrubs their tweets

It's all hear say now in any direction. First they were hearing about the meeting and now they are hearing that rehiring is kiboshed. what will they hear tomorrow?

article claims Disney didn't know about the tweets....

Disney insiders say the company was not aware of the offensive tweets and was taken aback when they were recirculated.

 

 

[Chewy]

They legit met with like 100 female directors over the past six months and are gonna end up hiring Rob Marshall for this, fucking R I P

[MrGlass2]

It sends a message, Feige can find 1,000 James Gunns in the street tomorrow. And the replacement director better not ask for a living wage.

[CoolioD1]

it's a good thing they've already got a director in the cast... Vin needs to step up. preferably on stilts. 

[Morieris]

Hire Josh Trank.

Probably true.  If they had they'd have told him to scrub them years ago.

Disney don’t fuck up on this one like you did with Solo.
