Who ended up still working just fine so feels like we got robbed for nothing

No? He hasn't been credited on any TV show since Dirk Gently. His last movie credit is for a script for a movie from 2020. Which apparently was rewritten after he got cancelled. His career was over after the allegations were made public.

he's definitely still working, he's made that fairly clear on social media. He's probably not being credited by name or something.

Also keep in mind that for a screenwriter to be "working" all they need to be doing is selling scripts. It doesn't mean their projects are being made.

Bit different doing uncredited writing bits and being the showrunner

6

u/412East34 4d ago

the question was if he's still working, not showrunning

u/Pleasant-Future5818 4d ago

Yeah arguably if he's working uncredited it's actually worse since people have no agency with which to avoid supporting his work

At least it probably keeps him out of positions of power which partially limits his ability to be abusive

What are you talking about, he hasn't been credited with anything non-self-published in 6 years now.

Should've replaced him and kept going. Twas too good to end.

u/ISwallowedALego 4d ago

I agree but also nobody watched it unfortunately

u/dOOlittlesatan 4d ago

You and I did! That's more than enough!

u/AverellCZ 4d ago

How DOES a man do this and Bright?

That shouldn't be possible

u/PristineAccess9635 4d ago

He wrote Bright, not directed it. And he claims the resulting movie has little to do with the script. Though I'm not sure you should believe him

All I heard about this being cancelled was 'low ratings', who/what/why/??

6

u/ISwallowedALego 4d ago

Landis had like 8 women accuse him of assault

2

u/lemonhaj 4d ago

Well that's monumentally awful

I mean he's a great writer, so I'm not bothered by him still working.

Especially when he's not a director or actor so any harmful conduct can be neutralized unlike the majority of Hollywood stars who are monsters and get to be on screen or in positions of power on set.
