He was 100% okay with it. He was given the opportunity to do it Peter's way and declined. <BR/><BR/>BTW - I know Peter and lots of his peeps. The 'mutual decision' thing just wasn't a PR spin.Privatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01058041852714125904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-51646161976687364622008-10-07T12:06:00.000-07:002008-10-07T12:06:00.000-07:00I like the Ryan Gosling guess...but I did think Michael Pitt when I first read it. <BR/><BR/>Having your septum repaired from excessive coke use doesn't necessarily show after as a nose job.

Neither would budge. <BR/><BR/>Peter essentially does not like working with actors. He wants to work with puppets who do exactly what he says. He is also manipulative in that he will pretend to be collaborative with the actor and sometimes pretend he doesn't know what he wants and ask the actor to do a scene many different ways just to get a particular shot. <BR/><BR/>He will not negotiate or compromise with an actor. Peter hates conflict. Disagreeing with his vision is considered to be conflict.<BR/><BR/>With Peter, it's his way or the highway. He thinks of himself as a great visionary and every one is there only to support his vision. No other opinion is required, thank you very much.Privatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01058041852714125904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-73372249014657550442008-10-07T10:03:00.000-07:002008-10-07T10:03:00.000-07:00libby - you can if you're drinking booze with it. <BR/><BR/>dvz - Ent <A HREF="http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/search/label/A-D%20list" REL="nofollow">has said</A> that an Oscar only guarantees B-list status.

Especially with the gap in his work.<BR/><BR/>But when he fired from that film, he was GROSSLY overweight--gained for the role. Can you even gain ANY weight if you are coked-up enough to get fired from a major motion picture at the last minute?<BR/><BR/>Does anyone know if you can gain like 50 pounds while strung out on coke?libbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08433586956761159011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-67870235380601148652008-10-07T09:00:00.000-07:002008-10-07T09:00:00.000-07:00Wow, thanks elsiefire.

He does have a few movies on the go for 2009, but he only had two movies in 2008 (released, so who knows when he worked on them?)ElsieFirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03561842289358008522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-90464876740807102432008-10-07T07:02:00.000-07:002008-10-07T07:02:00.000-07:00Peter Saarsgard?<BR/><BR/>Indie king, seems to be the thinking, thespian's actor.<BR/><BR/>I don't think that it's Shia.

Jake G is NOT B-list (1 Oscar nom and high profile) nor is Joaquin Phoenix (2 Oscar Noms, a Grammy and scads of other awards), nor is Elijah Wood (star of one of the biggest blockbuster franchises in movie history), and Brody *won* a fucking Oscar for crying out loud. Also as the previous commenter pointed out Leo is almost the definition of A-list with 3 Oscar noms in highly regarded movies and also extremely high profile. I love this blog, but the guesses in the comments are often maddeningly lazy. I'm shocked no-one guessed George Clooney or Brad Pitt...probably just a matter of time.dvzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09896921516937999589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-3749569056263209612008-10-07T05:30:00.000-07:002008-10-07T05:30:00.000-07:00@swede, Leo is almost the definition of A list so it can't be him.<BR/><BR/>We're going years back (like 1997), but I know that RG first tried the coke back when he was making Breaker High.

Fired. Nose job (check out awfulplasticsurgery.com). Break up with McAdams. Plays intense roles that he perhaps gets a bit too much into (e.g. Half Nelson).<BR/><BR/>JGL and Emile Hirsch have hardly been in enough movies to have a Parker Posey-esque rep an indie king. Besides, Hirsch was in Girl Next Door and Speed Racer. Not so indie, really.<BR/><BR/>I don't think Michael Pitt is B list.<BR/><BR/>Elijah Wood has too many blockbusters under his belt at this point to be considered for this. (Also, when he was in Prague filming Everything is Illuminated, he didn't have a rep as a coke fiend -- and that sorta goss made its way around fairly quickly.)<BR/><BR/>Joaquin has been open about going to rehab.Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17358058639035784948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-51653294038068337212008-10-07T02:06:00.000-07:002008-10-07T02:06:00.000-07:00Is Edward Norton B list?

I've often commented on his seeming allergies, as his nose seems runny and irritated, but now you've got me looking at it differently. He fits the blind; he's not done any dopey stuff.
