He goes, great to hear from you.

We're all super excited pinging them now.

It should be in your inbox.

And that's when he sends.

Hey, Blake, below, you'll find a comprehensive working update on everything since we got the notes.

Have a great weekend.

Super, super friendly.

This is March 15th, you guys.

This is four months basically before the movie comes out.

Four months.

Okay. Sony informs Wayfarer that

lively has escalated her demands. Now requesting solo time in the editing suite with her

own editor. This is Sony. Sony's going to Wayfarer saying, Blake wants to be alone with her own

editor now, with her own editor.

To make matters worse, Wayfarers told that lively has made it clear that she will not promote the film unless this demand is met.

Knowing the failure of the lead actress to promote the film would be detrimental.

The maneuver feels less like a professional request and more like extortion.

Yeah.

The gravity of allowing her access to edit, a process typically reserved for the director

and post-production team is not lost on Wayfarer.

April 4th.

The A-List producer reaches out to lively and Baldoni in a group text to request that the three of them jump on a call to discuss time-sensitive things. Lively, well, Lively is not available to speak with Beldoni and ultimately did not speak to Baldoni directly about her demands. Shocker, she's not available. Okay? Hello, Blake.
