…to save the listing ship? The movie is the movie — the Venice Film Festival verdict is just around the corner, nothing to be done. But Twitter-wise? I would post a supportive pro–Shia tweet: “I admire your naked honesty, your bravery…your commitment to change and healing…my respect is absolute.”
And then I’d sign to direct a film that is completely lacking any kind of female-empowered, anti-white-patriarchy attitude. No gay stuff. Maybe a Woody Allen-styled dark comedy about a headstrong director who falls for a rock star. Or do a Kathryn Bigelow…make a war film. Or some kind of Michael Mann crime thriller. Basically shift gears, become someone else.
