All tag results for 'dropped out'

We can't say we blame him, given the amount of injuries setbacks this production has had!

Alan Cumming, who was previously attached to portray the Green Goblin in the accident-prone musical Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark before he dropped out due to numerous delays, recently spoke out about the production, and seems to be pretty content with his decision to leave - despite having to continue working with director Julie Taymor on her film adaptation of The Tempest!

He explained:

"My GOD, that was a lucky escape. Jesus Christ! Talk about dodging a bullet there! …it just fucked me about. It kept getting delayed and delayed, and so I was like, 'OK, time to move on.' Yeah, it was a bit awkward. She wasn't best pleased when I quit. But the thing about Julie is that she's very blinkered about her work, and then things go into the ether. So the next time I saw her for The Tempest, it was like it never happened."

Well that's good!

We would hope that she would have understood how frustrating the wait for Spider-Man was, and kept it professional on the set of the flick, so we're very pleased to hear that!

Not to mention that we're thrilled you weren't the victim of any 'technical difficulties,' bb!

Smart call getting out when you did!

Thoughts??

Maybe she's finally been away from him long enough to - dare we say it? - THINK at all clearly!

After the Real Heidi Doll separated from her famewhoring, unstable husband Spencer Twatt, it was initially reported that she and her more stable, but equally famewhoring friend, Jennifer Bunney, would star in a new reality show together!

However, Bunney has taken to her website to announce that FrankenTittays has bailed on the idea, and will not be a part of the series!

She says:

“Originally I was supposed to do a reality show with Heidi , but right now it looks like some things have changed, and I don’t know if Heidi wants to be involved in reality TV at the moment with everything going on in her personal life (no we are not in a fight, and no Heidi is not 'dropping' me to do reality shows with the twins). So, since that recent development our original network and some others as well have offered to continue on with the show despite Heidi possibly not being involved, which I just recently agreed to. Although, I of course wanted to pursue this project with her I also respect that she has a lot to deal with right now and have to decided to go ahead and move forward with it alone, since these opportunities have presented themselves (my hope is that she will want to be involved later on).”

Shock! We actually cannot believe this!

Heidi must actually be dealing with some shiz if she doesn't want to air it for the world to see!

Maybe she's beginning to see the light!

Keep your chin up, bb! Clarity is coming!

It's never too late to go back!

Mary J. Blige has revealed that she intends to go to college - and has enrolled in the Howard University class of 2014!

She says:

"The city of New York gave me my high school diploma … and now Howard University has accepted me."

Blige dropped out of high school her junior year, but later received her GED.

Amazing! She should be so proud of herself!

Congratulations, gurl! You're going to do so well!

If they don't figure all of their shiz out, this movie is going to implode in on itself!

Production of The Hobbit, the prequel to The Lord of the Rings films, has pretty much been troubled since day one, but now we're hearing news that Sir Ian McKellen may put the final nail in the coffin - by dropping out as Gandalf!

He reveals:

"Well I'm not under contract and my time is running out and I'm enjoying working in the theatre and frankly, I would like to race after doing 'Waiting For Godot,' get on with doing another play but we'll have to see. I don't give the producers the impression that I'm sitting waiting. What it will be I genuinely don't know. It'll either be, we're going ahead or we're not."

Sounds like he's just as fed up as everyone else with this mess of a movie!

Understandably so! We'd be over it, too!

We could tell that there were some creative conflicts, but this is terrible, terrible news.

Kevin Williamson has reportedly dropped out of production of Scream 4, and is being replaced by the writer who nearly killed the series with his shiteous Scream 3, Ehren Kruger.

We don't care that he wrote The Ring - let's be real, even Parker Posey and Jenny McCarthy couldn't save the third movie!

Apparently, Williamson is said to no longer have any involvement in the series, and the changes being made with the script are what's causing the actors to drop out.

According to sources, Lauren Graham's character was originally "a fun role. Not big, but it had some meaty scenes." In Kruger's revision, "the part was reduced. She had like four lines."

The deputy sheriff role, originally given to Lake Bell, has also been cut dramatically, and even Hayden Pain-in-the-Ass is "beyond frustrated with the changes" because her character "used to be really sharp" but is now "dumbed down significantly".

Another source explains:

"The script changes have put a real strain on the cast. The original 'Scream' cast members aren't happy with the way that things are happening, so it's probably a good thing that [Graham] dropped out before things get messy."

And it appears that even poor director Wes Craven is frustrated - he just took to his Twitter to write:

I have not been given control of the script. #SCREAM4

Sounds to us like the studio got involved and took everything great about this movie and completely fucked it up.

We hope the studio execs get their heads out of their ass and just let Wes and company do what they do best, before this entire project implodes in on itself!

Get on your hands and knees and beg Kevin Williamson back - NOW!

Tyler Perry is peeved that Mariah Carey dropped out of his film For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf less than a week before filming, leaving him no choice but to cut his vacation short to find a replacement.

The writer/director/producer wrote this to his fans:

"I said, 'What? You're kidding me?,' It's five days before she has to go to work; nobody does that. We have a deal. I was told that we got a call, saying that even though our deal was done, she had been advised by her doctor not to do the film. I said, 'What? You know I want a doctor's note, don't you? LOL."

He does add however, that he knows Mariah didn't do it on purpose, saying:

"What I do know of [Carey] is that she is a professional and wouldn't back out of a deal unless it was a major issue. So, whatever is going on, I wish her and Nick [Cannon] the best and she has all my love, prayers and support. All I know is that I’m waiting just like the rest of the world to find out what happened. I just wish I could have finished my Mai Tai before I had to get back and re-cast this role!"

Come on, Mariah! Just announce the pregnancy already!

The remake of Footloose is falling apart before our very eyes!

Now that Chace Crawford has dropped out, it looks as though his only set co-star, Julianne Hough, will be bailing, as well!

She revealed:

"It sucks. His schedule couldn't work because of Gossip Girl and mine almost didn't work because of DWTS, so we're still actually working on mine to see if I can do it."

Too bad! It's probably for the best though.

With all this pre-production dramz, we're sure it's going to be a disaster!

We think that the producers should probably quit while they're ahead and throw in the towel on this one!

What do U think?? Do U still want to see a Footloose remake??
