2 Commentary here. Appears someone is interested in making movies that Americans want to pay to see.

Before anyone cries a river for those who tank their careers, just remember all the actors on the other side of the political spectrum that have been effectively blacklisted.

3 Not so much a blacklist for antisemitism, as for people who are a hassle to deal with.

4 ...Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Tilda Swinton, and Javier Bardem.

It says something about the current state of the movie industry that I only know who one of these people is.

Actually, this article isn't true. I have it on good authority from an insider that all those folks have been given pagers so they can be sure to be contacted for their new roles.

5 #3 Not so much a blacklist for antisemitism, as for people who are a hassle to deal with.

Yeah, that. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

In other Hollywood news, actors are freaking out that they may be replaced by generative AI. Seems a reasonable fear. We already do credible face replacement, motion capture, crowd scenes, and create digital body doubles for dangerous stunts. The question for human actors will be "What do you bring to the table that we cannot get digitally?" The ability to alienate half your potential audience is probably not a good answer.
