Blind Item #5 - Insurance Policy
In the disgraced director’s circle of friends / criminals, there are several other Hollywood players with equally horrible track records. This particular friend of the director is new to the site. They go back over 2 decades together.
This friend was a regular wing man at the many parties where underage teens were filled with drugs and booze, before being sexually assaulted or raped. His behavior at those parties has been described to be just as bad as the director, but his lower profile has allowed him to escape scrutiny.
This friend has a long list of various credits behind the scenes in Hollywood, which has afforded him many opportunities to also casting couch many young men and teens, eager to land any credited work on a production.
A couple years ago, work began to dry up for this friend of the director. Around the same time, the director was under a tremendous amount of heat, for the first time in many years. The friend reached out to the director, to see if he could help get him some work. Immediately, the director got his friend a plum assignment, on a network TV series he was part of. The director couldn’t take the risk that his friend might need cash badly enough to rat him out, with all the victim attorneys going through his past.

Singer and?
ReplyDeleteChris Mquarrie?
DeleteToby Wilkins and Bryan Singer
ReplyDeleteNoah Hawley / Legion?
ReplyDeleteis the TV show House????? bryan singer was an executive producer on it from 2004-2012
ReplyDeleteJohn Ottman. Frequently a composer, but has done everything from edited to produce to even direct (a single film.) Frequently works on Singer projects, is a co-director on Singer's first short film, Lion's Den from 1988, currently the music supervisor on Fox's The Gifted, produced by Singer.

ReplyDelete'they go back over 2 decades together' - ottoman has known and worked with singer technically since 1988....thats 31 years but the real eliminator is that john ottoman has had no dry spell, he's had success since the start of his career and with projects that weren't Singers also.
I think it might be somebody else.
"A couple years ago, work began to dry up for this friend of the director. Around the same time, the director was under a tremendous amount of heat, for the first time in many years."
ReplyDelete-would this be 2014 when that michael egan lawsuit came about?
"The friend reached out to the director, to see if he could help get him some work. Immediately, the director got his friend a plum assignment, on a network TV series he was part of.'
-if it was 2014, that eliminates House, which went off the air in 2012. That leaves Fox's The Gifted (which didnt start until October 2017, so probably not that) and FX's Legion, which was already in development w/Simon Kinberg commenting on it in November 2015.-
Noah Hawley, with Fargo, he didnt have work dry up so I dont think its him. Simon Kinberg doesnt have any pauses either in his resume.
ReplyDeleteDoes this have something to do with the article that came out exposing one of the guys from BoRha for being a white supremacist?
ReplyDeleteFX is cable, not network, right? So, looks like we need to skew timeline slightly to fit House or the Gifted.
ReplyDelete@vita
ReplyDeletegood point, FX is cable, so it has to be something else
Battle Creek for the network show (CBS)
ReplyDeleteSinger's production company, Bad Hat Harry has been involved with four network shows:
ReplyDelete- House (2004-2012) on Fox, mostly because Singer directed the pilot and contributed to casting the leads and to the look and feel of the show
- Black Box (2014) for ABC (13 episodes)
- The Gifted (2017-) for Fox.
Singer was credited on Battle Creek in 2015, created by David Shore, like House, but his production company wasn't. He directed the pilot, which was also scored by John Ottman, but they weren't involved beyond that stage.
I'mma go with Brandon Boyce. He fits most of the clues... And had a long absence in middle of his career and a CLOSE friend of Singer's for decades.
ReplyDeleteNotable Quotes:
"How did you get into the business?
Singer: It began when myself, Ethan Hawke and Brandon Boyce, a friend of mine who adapted Apt Pupil, were at a dinner in Los Angeles at four in the morning."
"I first met Bryan (Singer) on Fire Island 20 years ago. He stayed at our house with Brandon Boyce and some eager young twink."
"Singer's Apt Pupil screenwriter Brandon Boyce will write the screenplay."
"Director Singer and screenwriter Brandon Boyce (who acted in Singer's debut feature film, Public Access)..."
"His mother, father and stepmother all appeared in Apt Pupil (1998); the film's screenwriter, Brandon Boyce, was the family's paper boy at one time."

Closest I can come to a TV connection is Teen Wolf (not network)
1) After long break since Milk in '08 Brandon Boyce got an acting role on Teen Wolf in '13-'14
2) Singer started dating(?) Michelle Clunie in 2014 and she is his babies' mama. Child born in '15.
3) Michele Clunie was an actress on Teen Wolf
Correct link to article/photo of Singer with Brandon Boyce decades ago partying with twinks...
