> Among the guests White had invited to this “White Lotus” outing was a character who was no stranger to drama.
> White had written a washed-out star who is chasing a comeback, sources tell Variety. The role was originally set for Helena Bonham Carter, who exited the HBO production — after nearly a week on set — over “creative differences” involving White’s demand for a boisterous performance; within days, she was replaced by Laura Dern. (Dern is playing a character White is developing who will fill a similar place within the ensemble. Given Dern and White’s collaborations on the TV series “Enlightened” and the film “Year of the Dog,” it may be a more comfortable fit.)
Man, what I love more than anything when living paycheck to paycheck is rich people complaining about shit.

This is the article’s only insight into the exit.
Based on the character description, should have just brought in Valerie Cherish
$120 m??? How is that possible
White also fired the composer who did the previous seasons.
$120m? How does this show cost that much lol
Cannes kinda fucked these days, why is that show even there?
Boisterous- isn’t that exactly what Helena Bonham Carter can deliver?
