Maybe that's why you read the script and ask who is producing when doing a film explicitly political.
That isn’t how it work. Especially with facist. My local « facist club » rent a venue 2-3 years ago, on paper everything was legit. It took the hard work and the burning of one AntiFa mole to understand what was going on.
Wasn't told it was political, like most of the cast and crew (cause daily wire couldn't hire enough people if they were honest about what they're making)
"Complicated story about a complicated time," sure sounds like a movie that's going to have political elements. And then you ask your agent how exactly it's complicated and who is involved.
Scripts can change constantly throughout development from what I understand. They probably used this fact to their advantage and only provided "an early version" of the script where they purposely left out the stuff they knew would be red flags.
Regardless, a contract is ultimately just a piece of paper; an agreement that can be broken. It happens all of the time. Nothing was forcing any of these actors to continue once they found out. They can afford to break the contract and walk off.
I'm kinda' hoping he's only temporarily biding by the contract while he has a lawyer find a way to walk away without breaking the contract. After all, he can afford to hire a lawyer to look for an escape, so walking away with breach of contract is potentially a pretty dumb move:
Don't pay the people you don't even want to work with just because you're offended. Find a way to walk away clean and actually screw them.
