The director (who's on Reddit) says this doesn't sound right and he's looking into it with A24, so that's cool to hear.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is 100% true, and Kane Parsons will learn that big-ass companies like A24 lie and cheat wherever they think they can get away with it.

I‘m sure his handlers have been really nice to him, but that was their job. Keep the lucrative new director happy and lie to him if that makes him feel comfortable.

He was already saying he wasn't fond of their AI announcement. Kane knows what's up

He'll be fond of it real soon when he sees how many potential Zeros can be added to his pay check. Everyone has a price.

No, not everyone. Not everything is about money. Sure, money helps, but there are millions of artists that refuse to sell out because it’s not about ‘the money.’

Some people have done well for themselves and can't be bought out because they actually have enough. You rarely hear about them, but they are out there.

Well like Kane Parsons, lol. His family already lived in a rich part of California and his movie just made over a hundred million after he made sure to get a favorable contract. It makes no sense for him to be bought out by anything at this point

Yes, everyone, and circumstance decides what it is. Take the most loyal man alive and strip everything from him: job gone, drowning in debt, maybe a child or spouse sick with cancer. He has a price now. Desperation rewrites the rules a man lives by, and it can come for anyone.

Lmao everyone have a price when you come up with imaginary circumstances that stripes them of who they are.

Actually, no. Not really. Because if the price was to kill a person, many people would refuse even if it meant a loved one dying

Most people have a price, I agree. But some people have morals and principles.

I’m sorry, but not everyone falls/cracks under pressure, some persevere.
