Danny MoloshokCoincidence is a fickle bedfellow, and it has come to rear its ugly head once again. In fact, this might be the worst case of bad timing since Dua Lipa released an album full of floor-filling pop songs two weeks after a global pandemic lockdown.
On Wednesday, Variety broke the news that three women had accused Uncut Gems producer and Emily Ratajkowski’s estranged ex-husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard, of sexual misconduct during his tenure working at co-directors Josh and Benny Safdie’s production company, Elara Pictures. The following morning, Deadline reported that rapper/singer/big ole freak, Megan Thee Stallion, was in talks to star alongside Adam Sandler in the Safdie brothers’ next film.
Had this potential casting news dropped on Tuesday, it would’ve been a cause for celebration. Megan Thee Stallion starring in a movie, directed by the pair who brought the world a bleach-blonde Robert Pattinson? A film helmed by the duo that introduced the mainstream to its first dose of Julia Fox? No matter your feelings on Fox’s journey from artist to movie star to socialite couturier, it would be tough not to anticipate Megan making her film debut in a similar fashion.
