Eddie Redmayne reportedly wants JK Rowling sacked from Fantastic Beasts!

[Alltheprettyseahorses]

I really hope this isn't true because this is the brass neck to beat all brass necks (link credit to several lovely Twitter posters) www.looper.com/217223/eddie-redmayne-reportedly-wants-j-k-rowling-let-go-from-fantastic-beasts-franchise/

If it is and I were JKR I'd make sure he never worked in film again, not that anyone would want to hire anyone who displayed this appalling behaviour - especially not someone as mediocre as Redmayne.

Im so disappointed :(
I might have to go for even more of a name change

"you won't believe what this man found in his pancakes"

Surely just gaycakes or straightcakes?

What a rotter !

We have a phrase for this on MN: cheeky fucker.

Can we no longer just enjoy (or not) the books, films, painting, music someone makes?

And can companies not just make and sell their products?

And those of us who read , watch , buy this stuff just get in with our own lives?

It is getting ridiculous.

Most women were accepting of transsexuals who were attracted to men. It's the self-declared male lesbians and "lady-dick", who shout a lot, that tends to cause women to start to think about pulling up the drawbridge.

This.

I'm sure that all of the people who have been happy to accept TW have been envisaging those individuals who take hormones and have appropriate surgery - they never for a MOMENT imagined that fully male-bodied self-declared LESBIANS would be demanding access to women's safe spaces, or putting pressure on young gay girls to have sexual relationships with them, abusing them as transphobia if they refused.

From Eddie Redmayne’s Twitter:

“Trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary identities are valid." Eddie Redmayne, June 2020.

What an ego, signing himself off as if he’s the first person ever to spout this hackneyed bullshit..

This thread gave me you won't believe what this man found in his pancakes which I'm delighted with.

It hasn't given me anything else though.

Newt Scamander, Redmayne’s role, is from the Harry Potter stories. There is no way in the world that he could call for her to be removed and he must know that. If the article suggested he was threatening to step down as Newt, it might be a possibility, but this is obviously nonsense.

*I really, really hated the Danish Girl. The lovely wife was treated so badly. In fact, the way was treated is a parallel to the way women are being treated now by transactivists.

I've also heard this. Haven't seen it, and don't want to.*
Same here, the whole 'emotionally tortured poor thing' with fuck all nod the wife may also be affected can do one!

I quite like ER and don't believe this daft article is true. Mind you, I'm quite surprised he's on the TWAW bandwagon after watching the Danish Girl - it's practically an introduction to AGP. I think the treatment of the wife was intentionally eye opening too.

Never fails to amaze me he made it in the first place. I can't bear to watch him. Never understood the appeal.

I didn't see The Danish Girl; I thought he was fine in Fantastic beasts (only saw the first one), risible in Jupiter Ascending, and excellent in The Theory of Everything.

...so on that small sample I think he needs a great part, he's not the sort of actor who can mesmerise you while reading a shopping list iykwim.

Old Etonian demands woman does as she’s told!

I would take Looper with a pinch of salt as they are hot garbage.

Nah this cannot be true. He couldn't be THAT stupid surely.

Though if hes feeling guilty about earning money from such a horrible bigot, then he could always let someone else take his place. Oh, and the money he has made from JK is obviously dirty money, so maybe send the lot to mermaids or something right away. Holding breath..

@SerenityNowwwww

Aren’t they off to the pub together (and about a thousand fans of both) after lockdown?

Yep, JKR invited him and 20 of his mates out with her and 20 of her mates for a piss up drink and I’m not jealous at all and if they let slip which pub, then yes eleventy million fans will be there too

On the OP, this is the fakiest fake news in fake town. I’d say it’s wishful thinking for the wokerati.
Shame for Eddie that he’s getting dragged because of fake news after he stood up for the TRAs, but they are not known for GAS for their allies.

There's a thousand Eddie Redmaynes, but there's only one JK Rowling. It might not be true but I have zero sympathy for him feeling uncomfortable if it is.

He isn't just an actor, he's a privileged little Etonian dweeb who saw fit to throw a woman to the sharks for his own benefit. Unforgivable. In any other set of circumstances this would be unacceptable to those who champion him doing it.

As much as her opinion might upset others that is her opinion, you cannot sack her when she is the creator how moronic. Eddie has always been a hypocrite - hence above references

"Hooray! That beast JKR has finally been sacked as screenwriter! Now we can get on with our rehearsals free from the presence of this awful bigot. Let's see, does anyone have a copy of the latest screenplay script?................................................................................................................................................................................oh wait, hang on a moment......"

It smells of click bait.

Yeah it won’t be true. Looper articles are embedded in the IMDb app and they’re all like this, speculative celebrity gossip.

Looper also has a YouTube channel full of rather inaccurate content.It might be slightly more trustworthy than Vice (not that it is saying much).

I had to Google who Redmayne is. Dear Redmayne, no one cares about you.

I think I'd be taking some action against Looper if I was ER. They've made him look like an idiot.

I'd never heard of Looper and CBA to find out what it is.
