NEW YORK (AP) — In a letter to Skydance Media, Emma Thompson outlined why she refused to work with the former Pixar executive John Lasseter and was withdrawing from the animated film “Luck.”
John Lasseter, the Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Animation and Pixar Animation, is leaving his role at the end of the year in wake of misconduct allegations.
After his six-month leave of absence ends this month over multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, Disney executives are working on a way to bring John Lasseter back to the studio, reports the Wall Street Journal.
Buried under 18 paragraphs of the Hollywood Reporter’s rehashing of fall of John Lasseter, is the bombshell news that Disney CEO Bob Iger has been aware of Lasseter’s alleged behavior going back to 2010.
