Producer Isa Hackett accuses Amazon exec Roy Price of sexual harassment

Isa Hackett, a producer on The Man In The High Castle (and daughter of the author of the books on which the production is based), accused Amazon exec Roy Price of sexual harassment today.

She alleges Price told her "You will love my dick" when they were in a cab together after a comic-con event and headed for a work related party. Once at the party he leaned into her and said "Anal sex!" loudly in her ear. She made it clear she wasn't interested.

Price comes from a Hollywood connected family and is the son of Frank Price who once ran Columbia and Universal Studios. He produced the Oscar winning film Manchester By The Sea last year for which Casey Affleck took home Denzel Washington's Best Actor award. He has since been suspended from his job.

Amazon issued a statement saying "We take seriously any questions about the conduct of our employees...We expect people to set high standards for themselves; we encourage people to raise any concerns and we make it a priority to investigate and address them. Accordingly, we looked closely at this specific concern and addressed it directly with those involved."

ONTD Original™ - Halloween Edition: 10 Horror Movies with Scary Phone Calls

$
0
0


Have you ever answered the phone to hear nothing but silence? No verbal response from whomever is calling you, but maybe you can hear them breathing. Click, they're gone. Or are they? How would you feel if this happened to you several times at night when you're alone, or in a stranger's house babysitting? Well, below are just ten horror movies that use the scary phone trope. Time to check the Caller ID.

When a Stranger Calls (1979)
A babysitter in charge of two kids starts to receive menacing phone calls. The police trace the calls to a secondary line in the house. The babysitter barely escapes with her own life after an intruder, who has already killed the children, reveals his whereabouts within the house. Years later, the detective on the unsolved case searches for the man upstairs while the babysitter tries to move on with her life.

This movie, based on the classic urban legend, has one of the most perfectly chilling openings in a horror movie ever, but the middle portion of the movie is tedious and uninteresting. The film was followed by an overall more engaging TV-made sequel in 1993, When a Stranger Calls Back, and an adequate if not tame 2006 remake.

Black Christmas (1974)
The remaining sisters in a sorority house during Christmas break are terrorized by a madman over the phone. One by one, the young women then start to disappear...

Halloween is credited to be the first slasher by many, but four years before that even came out, this darkly humorous and twisted movie from the director of A Christmas Story was released. There isn't a big body count, and the ending is unresolved. Yet Black Christmas retains a sinister charm even after all these years. The movie was loosely remade in 2006 with one of the actors from the original, Andrea Martin, playing a different character.

Prom Night (1980)
A group of high school students receive ominous phone calls before the prom. They are then attacked by a masked assailant during said event.

This Halloween inspired mystery with Jamie Lee Curtis was disliked by many critics, but like most horror movies, Prom Night was critic proof and it made a good chunk of money at the box office. Over the years, complaints of the movie's pacing and lack of kills until halfway in have been combatted with an undying sense of nostalgia. Regardless of its supposed flaws, Prom Night is considered a classic slasher by many fans of the subgenre. There are three sequels, which are unrelated except for taking place at the same school, and a very tension-less remake released in 2008.

Out of the Dark (1989)
A clown-masked killer calls and kills the operators at a phone sex hotline.

This 1989 erotic horror is pretty sleazy. If you can accept that and decide to watch it, there are some decent scares to be found in Out of the Dark. This movie features Divine's last role.

Ring(1998)
A reporter investigates a local myth about a cursed videotape. After watching the a copy of the tape, viewers will receive a phone call. They will then die seven days later.

Outside of the 2002 remake with Naomi Watts, this is the most well-known adaptation of Koji Suzuki's first novel in a series of books. Hideo Nakata's theatrical version, and as a result the 2002 Hollywood remake, is not a very close adaptation of the source material. The 1995 TV movie Ring: The Complete Series is more accurate in that regard. However, Nakata's rendition is a creepy slow burn that manages to have more organic mood than Gore Verbinski's Ring.

Scream(1996)
A small town is subjected to a serial killing spree after a teenager is slain in her own home by a masked killer with a penchant for vintage scary movies.

The '90s horror film industry was struggling. There was only a handful of horror movies from the early part of that decade that general audiences today remember. Then in 1996, this little movie by Wes Craven changed all of that. It set off a chain reaction and revitalized the dying genre. It is no wonder it has become such a critic darling as well as a fan favorite. Controversial opinion: Scream has suffered a bit from being such a product of its time. The script tries a bit too hard to be to hip as it's littered with Kevin Williamson-isms. Not to mention the protracted killer's reveal that borders on Scooby-Doo quality writing. Minor quibbles aside, it is is a very entertaining movie that is undoubtedly iconic. Without it, who knows what fate would have come for the horror genre otherwise. There are three sequels and an unrelated TV series. Director Wes Craven passed away in 2015.

Babysitter Wanted(2008)
A religious young woman attending college takes a job babysitting at a rural farmhouse. Throughout the night, she receives strange phone calls before an unexpected guest arrives.

While this may sound like a When a Stranger Calls rehash, the movie takes a drastic and unexpected turn at the halfway point. The less said about the twist, the better.

Amusement(2009)
Three women that used to be childhood friends are abducted separately by someone from their past.

This slasher is not good by any means, but the set designs and above average production values make it more memorable than it deserves to be. Amusement is told in an anthology style where all three segments are connected. The second part has one of the heroines coming home to a life-sized clown in her room full of other clown dolls. To her shock, her relative confirms on the phone that they don't own a big clown. This is without a doubt the most suspenseful and the creepiest story in Amusement.

Don't Hang Up(2016)
Two pranksters are targeted by someone that knows everything about them.

It's usually women being harrassed in these types of movies, but for once, the guys are getting tortured. The protagonists are not likable whatsoever so audiences won't feel sympathy. Yet the movie is short and packed with enough action to keep one entertained for about eighty minutes.

The Caller(2011)
Mary moves into a new apartment and starts her life over after divorcing her abusive husband. She receives calls from another woman, Rose, that appears to be troubled emotionally. Mary starts to realize that there is something peculiar about Rose and how she is connected to her.

The Caller was a slept on movie that hardly anyone paid attention to at the time of its release. Which is a shame as it has a different spin on the phone terror theme. One that other horror movies have really yet to expand upon. The movie ends up more like an expanded episode of The Twilight Zone, but there are some scary moments, too. Stephen Moyer and Luis Guzmán co-star with Rachelle Lefevre.

Lobo AdolescenteTyler Posey has opened up about the nude images and videos that plagued him and the cast of his hit MTV series 9 months ago. You may recall TPOSE and his co-stars Cody Christian and Ryan Kelley were the victims of a vicious cyber hacking, which led to their private footage being splashed all over the internet by fka, ljtryout, and @isntdavetwo.

The ray of sunshine addressed the incident for the first time at the Noods Before Dark party on October 6, saying "I don’t care. It puts less stress [on you] if you just brush it off." He continues, "I got a letter in the mail saying I’m a victim of a case of somebody who hacked iCloud. I think had my identity taken. I think I’ve had it stolen."

Ironically, Posey will play an identify thief in the upcoming film Decoy.

Weinsten roundup: London and NYC open investigations on Weinstein, more women come forward

  • The NYPD and the London police have both confirmed that they have opened cases on Weinstein and that they encourage any victims to come forward

  • Keep in mind however that one of the women in the New Yorker piece immediately went to the NYPD who helped get an audio recording of Weinstein harassing her only for the case to be dropped by the D.A.







  • Rose McGowan has been tweeting all week about the Weinstein accusations and Thursday morning her account was suspended

  • Outrage followed though twitter was quick to say that it was because McGowan had tweeted out a person phone number

  • Numerous women came forward to say that they had been stalked, harassed, and had their phone numbers exposed and twitter had done nothing

  • Many celebs including McGowan herself, Chrissy Teigan and Anna Paquin vowing to log off twitter for the whole of October 13





  • Subkoff was trying to make it as an actress in the 90s when Harvey Weinstein pulled her onto his lap before he asked her to leave with him implying that if she had sex with him he would give her parts

  • She believed he blackballed her by calling her difficult to work with when she refused

  • Subkoff gave up on becoming an actress and launched the successful fashion label Imitation of Christ

  • Subkoff directed her first feature film in 2015

  • She said Weinstein also tried to ruin her directorial career by badmouthing her movie to other people in the industry





I want to add my voice of support for the women who have had the courage to speak out against Harvey Weinstein. Like most people in Hollywood, I have worked with him and I'm deeply disappointed in myself for being so oblivious to these devastating experiences of sexual harassment and abuse







  • Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering are behind the Oscar winning documentary The Hunting Ground about the epidemic of college rapes.

  • Their film was distributed by the Weinstein Company

  • They ask that AMPAS (Oscar board) rescind Weinstein's membership

  • Also plead for The Weinstein Company to give the proceeds of their film to Weinstein's victims




In the comments section of a Variety article about Cara Delevingne's encounter with Harvey Weinstein someone who signed themselves as Simone Sheffield (Sheffield is indeed an agent, but it's not confirmed whether or not she actually left the comment) wrote the following:

I use to manage Indian actress Aishwarya Rai. While dealing with Harvey I found it comical how hard he tried to get Aishwarya alone. But he was a pig… looked and acted like a “big bully pig”….He asked me to leave the meeting numerous times and I politely declined. When we were leaving his office he cornered me and said “what do I have to do to get her alone?” I told him to “kiss my black ass”. When Ash and I returned to our hotel, I sent Harvey a steel pig trough filled with DIET COKE as a thank you gift for the meeting. Yes, we did do business and Yes, he eventually threatened me. Told me I’d never work in this business, blah blah blah….what I said to him I can’t print. But you can be sure, I never gave him the opportunity to even breathe on my client.

Fox News. Weinstein. The President. Such abuses have gone on way before these creeps and will sadly continue until women feel empowered and protected enough to speak out.

They say there’s strength in numbers…perhaps. BUT it takes only one brave soul to take the first stand. With social media as your platform, that one brave soul will lead an army, in no time.

Brava Ladies….don’t hold back – THE TRUTH. Protect one another. Support one another. Love one another.




Sean Astin's take:

HARVEY WEINSTEIN - - My view

Beyond treating women in a vile, possibly criminal manner, I believe that Harvey Weinstein is a vicious bully who uses rage and the threat of rage to intimidate many many people. I’ve experienced some of his disrespectful (at best) behavior, with my own eyes and spoken to friends and colleagues who came into contact with the man. It is known that Harvey routinely eviscerates filmmakers, producers, agents and performers. Ranting and raving is the guy’s steady state. I think that he is a mean thug with a vindictive and menacing approach to anyone who gets in his way. Such is his reputation.

Rape and sexual perversion, sexual menacing, sexual intimidation are disgusting and where criminal, deserving of prosecution. The thought of Harvey Weinstein behind bars is deeply satisfying, if not fully enlightened.

Everyone is asking how it’s possible that his behavior was allowed to endure for so long. The suggestion is that somehow, women and girls who were subjected to Harvey’s grotesque behavior are in some way complicit. Low hanging media fruit is to attack politicians for accepting donations and other fundraising help from the legendary industry predator.

It’s a pervasive culture. That’s the cry. Everyone says, it’s time for the conversation to start. That ol’ chestnut. The basic themes and salacious reporting usually turn back in on itself and the so called conversation stalls. We all revere successful businessmen. So called “powerbrokers” are lifted up in many ways, financially, socially, politically, personally. All manner of bad behavior is tolerated as long as the hits keep coming, as long as business thrives.

The women who’ve been abused and the women who have spoken out should be celebrated for their courage. I also think that every single person who was bullied and abused in business by Harvey Weinstein should also speak out.

If the story starts and stops with Harvey’s sexual abuses and doesn’t expand to include the heinous behavior that he visited on women and men, in countless ways, throughout the entertainment industry, the full story will not have been told and the opportunity to change the culture will have been left wanting.

This is my hunch, my instinct and my intuition, informed by working for a few decades in the industry, a few direct experiences with him and many many more stories that were very close to me. Harvey was one of the Executive Producers of Lord of the Rings. A couple of years ago, Harvey behaved in an aggressive, insulting and basically rude manner with me on a call. He wanted something from me. I listened politely. I spoke respectfully. And I told him no.

Sincerely,
Sean

Harvey Weinstein, Donald Trump and Systemic Sexism: A Closer Look

$
0
0


Seth Takes a closer look at how powerful men in entertainment and politics - from Harvey Weinstein to Donald Trump - abuse their power to silence, bully or coerce.

If you can’t watch the video, here are some highlights:

- “Of course, [Trump] built his political career almost entirely on bullying. His campaign and now his presidency have been, in many ways, a performance of dominance. A performance that has, in many cases, been explicitly misogynist. We saw that just recently when he viciously attacked the Mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulin Cruz, for having the audacity to criticize him and speak up for her constituents… I’m sorry, she’s not a capable person? What did you do after the hurricane? You took a week to even send FEMA. You reminded them about their debts. And then you showed up two weeks after that and chucked paper towels like a teenager in the breakroom at Costsco.”

- “This is what male entitlement looks like. A woman of color, literally wading through floodwaters to help her constituents, being attacked by a powerful man so incompetent, he probably floods his own bathroom because he forgets to turn the faucet off.

- “One advisor said aides were relieved when Trump declined to appear on 60 Minutes last month because ‘he’s lost a step.’ He’s lost a step? He didn’t have that many steps to begin with. If he had a Fitbit, it would die of boredom.”

- After showing a video of Trump promising to sue all of the women accusing him of sexual harassment, “And as we know, Donald Trump keeps all of his promises. So, those women were sued and found guilty at a trial held right next to the finished Mexican border wall on the same day that Obamacare was repealed.”

- Addresses the way Weinstein and those around him have defended his behavior, as an “old dinosaur learning new ways”—“Dinosaurs don’t learn new ways! They go existinct!”

- “This entire ordeal is yet another window into the entitled mind of powerful, predatory men who are used to operating without consequence… There is no doubt that this horrifying story reveals yet again a culture of systemic misogyny that exists at the highest level of society. In the last year and a half, the most powerful man in news, the most powerful man in politics, and the most powerful man in Hollywood have been accused of serial sexual predation.”

- “This should not be a partisan issue. It requires all of us to speak out and ask what we can do to address it. So, naturally, some Republicans and right-wing pundits rushed in to exploit the scandal for political gain.” [After showing a video of Kellyanne Conway] “Oh my God, you work for Donald Trump, remember? You know, big dumb guy about yea high, bragged about sexual assault on a bus, loves to throw paper towels at Hurricane victims?”

- “… the Weinstein bombshells have also spawned some of the most perverse takes on what to do about serial sexual harassment, like former Trump White House Adviser Sebastian Gorka, who cited Vice President Mike Pence’s personal prohibition against eating alone with anyone woman who is not his wife. Can’t believe I have to say this, but you should be able to be alone with a woman and not sexually assault her.

- “Look, there are predators of all political persuasions and in both parties. This should not be a partisan issue. And moreover, women should not be held accountable for the predatory behavior of men. This a problem with systemic misogyny and male entitlement, and men need to speak up and address their complicity in the system that allows these things to happen.

Vanessa Marquez, who played the role of nurse Wendy Goldman during the first three seasons of NBC's ER, is alleging that George Clooney helped blacklist her from Hollywood after she spoke up about harassment on the set of the show. In her tweets, Vanessa writes that George Clooney helped blacklist her, telling her that women who don't play the game lose their career. She goes on to say that her allegations are on record and that she spoke to Entertainment Tonight in 1995 about the harassment. Vanessa also adds that John Wells and Steven Spielberg had a hand in blacklisting her since it was a "group decision." Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, the company that produced the show, provided John Wells as one of ER's executive producers.
