That whole "TV actors belong on TV" stigma kinda isn't a thing anymore.

 

It isn`t stigma if you are major awards-reaping star on a mjaor show. Like Charlie MoFo Sheen. It doesn`t help much when you aren`t. I mean, why do you think fnaboys are waiting in vain for Fillion, Holloway, bell and Dushku to happen in the movies?

I knew it!

 

Steindorff's plants were all over Queen Nikki's comments section under the article stroking his dick. That was so hilarious, plenty of people getting out of the woods saying how that Steindorff guy is so fabulous like he owns a Nobel prize and painting Ramsey as a disgusting selfish bitch or something. Thanks for debunking that hack job.

Sources close to the project who spoke with The Hollywood Reporter are painting a conflicting picture of who is to blame for Ramsay's exit. Two sources say the Scottish filmmaker (We Need to Talk About Kevin) still had not been presented with an approved schedule, script or budget mere days before shooting was set to begin. Another source says Ramsay, who was revising the screenplay herself, failed to deliver a shooting script despite several delays and increasingly bizarre behavior. 

 

One dealmaker says Ramsay had final cut on the film subject to various parameters. If, for example, the movie went over budget or over schedule, she could lose the right to final cut. In light of the uncertainties, Ramsay’s camp apparently asked to amend her deal to preserve a certain measure of creative control amid the delays. But efforts to discuss such issues with the producers were met with resistance. The producers, according to sources, saw the requests as an attempt to renegotiate a deal that already had been closed. With the two sides at an impasse, Ramsay gave notice on Saturday morning that she was exercising her right to exit the project.

.

.

The $15 million-budgeted film is the story of a frontier woman (Portman) who reaches out to an ex-lover to help her defend her farm from her outlaw husband and his gang. Fassbender was to play the ex-lover, but he dropped out in early March because of the delays. Fassbender, according to insiders, was facing a time crunch as his next movie, the Fox tentpole X-Men: Days of Future Past, is about to begin filming.

 

According to insiders, Steindorff submitted a list of 10 actors who were considered bankable to Ramsay and Portman for approval. But the trio cold not agree on Fassbender’s replacement.

 

Eventually, it was decided to move Joel Edgerton, who was originally set to play the leader of the outlaws, into the role vacated by Fassbender and to hire Law, who worked with Portman on the 2004 drama Closer, to take on the villain part.

 

By the time the casting was straightened out, Jane was 10 days behind schedule, having lost valuable prep time. And since Edgerton’s name doesn’t carry the same weight as Fassbender's in the foreign pre-sales world, the film’s financing was on shaky ground.

 

Those issues were straightened out and the film finally was trotting to its March 18 start date. Then came the big clash between Ramsay and Steindorff over the script, creative control and the budget. A dispute on Friday carried over into Saturday, with Ramsay deciding she wanted out. She apparently has returned home to the U.K.
