Marvel started to tremble as soon as the verdict came out yesterday: Jonathan Majors is guilty and that means that His plans for the next few years have gone straight down the toilet. There are those who believe that ‘The Kang Dynasty’ will continue as is and those who think that right now they have to be putting the entire universe back together. But you are They are not the only films we will ever see starring the actoreven though they are finished and have even been through festivals.
It is not the first time it has happened: an actor (or actress) suddenly becomes unpleasant to the public and their already recorded and finished projects disappear as if they never existed. Let’s review 5 of these movies that we will never see again (legally, at least)…Or at least not as they were shot. This is not the case of, for example, ‘The day the clown cried’ or ‘Batgirl’, but rather cancellations in the purest style of the term: You don’t work here anymore because public opinion can’t stand you.
‘Magazine Dreams’ (2023)
Address: Elijah Bynum Department: Jonathan Majors, Harrison Page, Harriet Sansom Harris, Haley Bennett
After passing through festivals, there were those who said that This was Majors’ direct ticket to the Oscar in a superb performance: The exploration of fame personified in a bodybuilder had been going on since January, after passing through Sundance, waiting for the best moment to show it to the general public. Now it seems that that “best moment” is not going to come anymore: Disney is not going to allow even one more gratuitous controversy and everything indicates that the film will rot in a drawer.
‘I love you, daddy’ (2017)
Address: Louis CK Department: Louis CK, Chloë Grace Moretz, Rose Byrne, Charlie Day, Edie Falco, Pamela Adlon
After Louis CK (one of the best comedians of his generation) admitted his actions, People stopped seeing him with affection and his projects began to cause more revulsion than anything else.. This is the case of ‘I love you, Daddy’, which was screened in Toronto and where he played a scriptwriter and television producer father concerned about the sexual advances of his 17-year-old daughter. The film can be viewed illegally, but never saw the light of day legally, even now, that CK has returned to the stage and has even self-produced another film, ‘Fourth of July’. Chloë Grace Moretz herself asked for the tape to simply disappear. Just no.
‘Bill Cosby 77’ (2014)
Address: Robert Townsend Department: Bill Cosby
I made a little trick to get here the comedy special that Bill Cosby recorded in San Francisco in 2014 the same day he turned 77 and it was going to be released on November 28… until just ten days before the multiple sexual accusations against the actor came out. Finally, he was canceled even though, apparently, he was only going to do white humor talking about children, marriage, romance and everything with which he had modeled his character over the decades. Obviously, Cosby hasn’t done anything else audiovisually since then.
‘All the money in the world’ (2017)
Address: Ridley Scott Department: Michelle Williams, Kevin Spacey, Mark Wahlberg, Romain Duris
I know you are thinking that you have already seen this movie. But the truth is no: Scott, after the accusations against Kevin Spacey, decided to reshoot all his scenes a month before the premiere, replacing him with Christopher Plummer. It took eight days in total and they arrived without many problems at the premiere. To try to alleviate the possible damage that this change would do to him, the director ran to say that Plummer was his initial option but the studio had forced him to cast a more important actor. It was of no use either: ‘All the Money in the World’ raised what it cost, more or less, and we all forgot about its existence.
‘Army of the Dead’ (2021)
Address: Zack Snyder Department: Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Tig Notaro
Netflix was not going to cancel its first major collaboration with Zack Snyder, ‘Army of the Dead’, which was also going to start its new franchise, but it also could not allow Chris D’Elia to remain in the cast of the film. And it is that The comedian was accused of sexually harassing and asking for nude photos of minors, so they decided, instead of having to deal with him with the press department, to remove him and re-record his scenes… in the midst of the Covid resurgence. They changed him for the comedian Tig Notaro, who, thanks to the magic of the green screen, digitally put into their scenes. D’Elia, for his part, released a comedy special in 2023 that no one cared about, proving that his career is definitely over.
Of course, there are always films that dare to come out as is even if the actor is not liked by the public, like ‘Death on the Nile’ or ‘Flash’, but they try to take as little risk as possible. After all, Nobody likes to see a person who is in jail on the screen. or accused, right?
