producer Todd Black requested a meeting. Black’s development executive at the time had written her college thesis on
, and the two felt strongly that there was a movie in Ball’s story, and that the Oscar-winning screenwriter was the one to tell it.“It was about a year-and-a-half before a yes,” he acknowledges now, though he also says he almost always labors over such decisions as movies are gargantuan commitments of time and, before pen hits paper, he wants to be reasonably sure he can deliver.
This has nothing to do with cancel culture. Sorkin just wants to frame it that way so people will automatically side with him. Most people could care less one way or the other.
lucille ball was a knock-out....so was desi arnaz.

Controversy? A Spanish guy is playing a Spanish guy and white woman is playing a white woman
Old rich white guy doesn’t care what a marginalized group thinks. Shocker.
Real self-searching here from Sorkin, relating Lucy being dragged before HUAC and monitored, then avoiding politics forever to preserve her career, with his ability to opine about whatever he wants all the time, then sometimes get called out on Twitter, a site he doesn’t read
Don't make it...
Put down the wine and step away from the laptop ...
Who needs enemies when you have 500m Facebook friends META
The story of what happened next is so bizarre that it makes 'The Social Network' look like an afterschool special.
and newsroom season4？
Sorry, but DEBRA MESSING would have been a better choice overall! I like Nicole Kidman, just not as Lucy... 🤷🏻♀️
The first movie had “Baby You’re a Rich Man” as a credits song. This needs to be the new one:
He is straight-up just trolling daveanthony now. No doubts or guesses
The Meta Sequel
Dear THR next time get out a map for Mr Soarkin and show him there are 33 counties in Latin America and they don’t all Spanish
Sorkin has definitely relapsed.... Oh boy
Ah dang I was looking forward to this too but this is bad
Is he serious?
LATIN AMERICA. Brazil is part of the Latin America. We’re the biggest country in the Latin America. The Portuguese language originated from Latin. Brazilian are LATINOS. Get yourself educated.
Hasn’t Javier Bardem also played Pablo Escobar, with Penelope Cruz playing Virginia Vallejo? This is regular behaviour :/
So Brazilians can't be Latino but Spaniards can? I'm confused.
'But Lucille Ball was more of a Rita Hayworth, Jessica Rabbit-looking actress.' Kidman, with her overly-botoxed, swollen, and immovable face is nothing like Hayworth. If Sorkin was trying to go for that, he failed miserably.
BRAZILIANS ARE LATINOS. As a Brazilian, I’m so offended!
Sorkin is right
Everyone hates Nicole Kidman as Lucy. Javier Bardem is nowhere near as handsome as Desi Arnaz. I hate when Europeans are cast to play Latinos.
I think Sorkin has a lot more 'splaining to do.'
He laid several eggs in this interview PLUS what should have been an automatic DQ from the beginning:
The self-assured ignorance
A Spaniard actor is playing a Cuban and his Spaniard actress wife is playing a Colombian in another movie.
'Brazilians aren't considered latinos because they don't speak spanish'... what?
SethAbramovitch Is he back on crack? What the hell kind if explaination is this? This thing is going to crash and burn so fast
Terrible
I’ll save everyone a click. He says he casted Kidman because she could make Lucy be sexy when she wasn’t doing the ‘I Love Lucy Show’. He continued his bizarre defense of the casting by saying he don’t care about the fans blow back in casting a Spanish born actor to play a Cuban.
SethAbramovitch He’s exhausting
I have zero interest in watching this movie. I already watched one bio type picture of them and it painted Desi in not favorable light. He was a ass to Lucy and she deserved better. She got where she was by her own hard work he was just a sidekick.
Does he really need to explain.
