It was a moral Venture, as the American production company Skydance Media announced in January, John Lasseter as head of the newly founded animation Department. Finally, the 61-Year-old had been gone as head of Pixar and Disney Animation, after several women had accused him of sexual harassment. Skydance chief David Ellison committed to the trick film-maker anyway – but was apparently compelled to explain to its employees the personnel in times of Metoo: He was sure that “John is a valuable lesson” I learned it was called in an internal Letter to the employees.
What is the Skydance-employees thought about the new head of the animation division, really, is not known. The world knows now, what keeps Oscar winner Emma Thompson to Lasseters Job at Skydance: nothing.
The British actress is supposed to take on a speaking role in the animated film “Luck” of the Studios – said the after the obligation to Lasseters. Your reasons you stated in a letter to the Management of the production company, the actress has now made the LA Times accessible. The 59-Year-old wonders how the company can set a man with Lasseter’s “pattern of misconduct” in a climate “in which it would be reasonable to expect from people with your influence, you take responsibility”.
The two-time Oscar winner faced the Studio bosses that it apparently was considered necessary to undertake Lasseter contractually to certain rules of etiquette. “Why would want to work for a woman for him, if the only reason that he was not touched inappropriately, is that his contract says that he must ‘behave professionally’?” Lasseter get his “second Chance” presumed million: “How much money the Skydance-employees get for GIVING him this second Chance?”
The trade journal “Variety” reported in January, Lasseter had been interrogated prior to the signing of the agreement with Skydance by a team of lawyers literally and in writing to assure, for any financial claims because of future misconduct, self-pay. Skydance withdraw on Lasseters Ex-employer have to compensate Disney no woman financially, so Thompson continued: “But do we really believe that there was no harassment or toxic work environment, just because no compensation has been paid?”
you say your Part in the movie “Luck” with a heavy heart, because Director Alessandro Carloni appreciate it very much. But, Thompson concluded: “I am also aware that it is very unlikely that things will change in the right pace, in order to protect the Generation of my daughter, if people like me (…) not a sign.” (phz)
