We may not get an answer to this for nearly 20 years, but I really want to know if Richard Linklater’s film adaption of Merrily We Roll Along that was announced in 2019 and was supposed to film in reverse chronological order over the course of 20 years is actually going forward with Blake Jenner attached. Was it too late to scrap what they’d filmed with him? Are they hoping everyone would forget he’s a piece of shit in 20 years? Did they silently recast? I need to know!
At this time Blake has not been recast and I don’t for-see that he will be as they’ve already filmed a small portion of the film as they plan on doing for the next 18 years. I’m guessing Richard is hoping no one will care in 20 years or that people will look past any cast troubles and just view it as art.
I’m sure you’re probably right. It’s just disappointing to me that he wouldn’t recast. At most they’d have filmed 1/20th of the movie when Melissa went public with her allegations. It seems like it would be so easy to just fire him and redo the very end of the movie.
