During her break in Hawaii, Ellison spent time nursing her professional wounds by entertaining guests and creatives includingWhile the mercurial producer had always been prone to bouts of absence, none had lasted so long as this latest excursion, according to sources. When departing in 2019, people familiar with her actions said she left Annapurna’s Chief Creative Officer Sue Naegle to answer questions about the company’s ongoing viability.
Annapurna’s film unit has been significantly hobbled, and hasn’t released a film since the August 2019 flop “Where’d You Go, Bernadette,” a Richard Linklater drama starring Cate Blanchett. The movie misfired with critics and earned a paltry $10 million domestic box office on a reported $18 million budget. Ellison was known for her close relationships with acclaimed filmmakers like Kathryn Bigelow, Paul Thomas Anderson and David O.
In addition to the Carmichael film, Annapurna is currently developing feature adaptations of the novels “The Echo Wife” and “Nightbitch,” the latter to star Amy Adams. There’s also “Landscape with Invisible Hand,” a sci-fi film in partnership with Brad Pitt’s Plan B, and a planned feature adaptation of Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey’s book “She Said,” about the reporting of their hugely impactful Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment story.
The division has been productive under former Amazon executive Patrick Chu, who joined in 2019 as a direct report to Naegle. The department also includes senior vice president of development Ali Krug and production executive Susan Goldberg. Compared to its TV counterparts, Annapurna’s film arm has far to go in finding the same success, insiders said. The development slate has been lacking since the 2018 departure of longtime Ellison consigliere Chelsea Barnard.
“This piece barely scratches the surface of Scott Rudin’s abusive, racist, and sexist behavior,” Ellison tweeted last week. “Similarly to Harvey, too many are afraid to speak out. I support and applaud those who did. There’s good reason to be afraid because he’s vindictive and has no qualms about lying.”
Being ill-tempered is a common malady……but we learn to control our emotions; otherwise, we become self-defeating. This chick is slinging furniture during tantrums because her daddy gave her a billion dollars and she’s blinded by her own entitlement.
Surely there's a difference between having a temper from time to time and physical and emotionally abusing people?
She must be stopped.
Uh-oh.......
Never heard of this guy
