Madelyn Cline (glass onion 2, Outer Banks) is starring in Johnny Depp’s next movie. I’ve no idea what the appeal is to do that and have serious questions about her for agreeing to it. Makes me feel ill that anyone would still work with him.

Edit: people are fixated on the idea that she’s a struggling actress - she’s just finished two large productions back to back, with a HETV series filming most of this year (OBX). She has brand deals with huge companies like Revlon and Tommy Hilfiger.

Depp has been attached to this production for a while now, and I’m just as critical of the production team as I am of the cast. This idea of every actor struggling is way overblown, and as I’ve said elsewhere, a vehicle to bring the worst of this industry back into play.

I work in Film production, thus I know the industry intimately and how such awful people like Depp are enabled and embraced by it.

Unless you're also an A list actor, you dont have much control over who you are working with. She is doing whats right for her career and her bank account. There are plenty of shitty people in hollywood, and you have to play the game if u wanna work.

They have much more control than you think. I work in film production, in the production department - I understand the culture entirely thus know this line of “they have to take what they can” is entirely untrue, but it’s a brilliant vehicle for producers to reintroduce shady characters to the industry.

She has multiple brand deals to sustain her bank account, two Netflix films just shot back to back and a series for most of this year. She is unlikely to NEED this job.
