Emma Thompson quits film after John Lasseter joins production

Emma Thompson has pulled out of a role in a large-scale animated film after former Pixar chief John Lasseter joined the production.

Thompson had been due to voice a role in Luck, produced by Skydance Animation, but reportedly left the film after Skydance controversially hired Lasseter to head its animation division. Lasseter, who was chief creative officer of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios, took a leave of absence in 2017 after admitting to sexual conduct “missteps”, before leaving the company in 2018.

Lasseter’s appointment to Skydance was met with considerable disquiet, including a statement from the Time’s Up campaign that said “Skydance … is providing another position of power, prominence and privilege to a man who has repeatedly been accused of sexual harassment in the workplace”. Skydance Media CEO David Ellison defended Lasseter saying: “While we would never minimise anyone’s subjective views on behaviour … we are certain that John has learned valuable lessons and is ready to prove his capabilities as a leader and a colleague.”

She really shouldnt have to miss out on work because of this character.

Emma probably loved it when Harvey Weinstein groped her.

She just gained (even more) in stature, in my view.

I guess that she can afford to give up this gig. A lot of women cant. Hats off to her for making this decision. You only have to read the comments on this thread to realise how far we have to go.

There's always a chance the Incels and other vulgar pissants show up whenever there's anything female or sexual in the thread title. Their malaise wills out, and here they are. Best ignored. They're used to it.
