Gunn had apologized for these tweets in the past, but they were dug up in July 2018 by right-wing conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich, who began a campaign to begin.get Gunn fired from the movie for them. Although many people called out Disney for firing Gunn for years' old comments but keeping Johnny Depp on their payroll, none of them defended the content of Gunn's tweets.

* Possibly inverted with Creator/RobertDowneyJr Reviewers often mentioned how his experience with alcoholism and drug abuse made him perfect for the role as ''Film/IronMan'', the archetypal battling-with-his-own-demons superhero. Still, it was nearly impossible to get insurance for him on the role.
* Jamie Waylett was dropped from ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'' after being charged with cannabis possession. Instead, Blaise Zabini appears as Draco's sidekick rather than Crabbe [[spoiler:[[DeathByAdaptation and Goyle is killed in Crabbe's place]], with Crabbe himself [[UncertainDoom presumably rotting in Azkaban]].]]
* This happened to ''Creator/DavidNiven'', of [[QuintessentialBritishGentleman all people]]. At some point in the 1930s he was carrying on a torrid affair with Merle Oberon. During this time he accompanied Oberon on a rail trip from New York City to Los Angeles, spending the entire trip doing exactly what you're thinking in Oberon's private carriage. The only problem was that the US had a law at the time called the ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mann_Act Mann Act]]'', which forbade the interstate transport of women for "immoral purposes." Although the law was originally intended to simplify the prosecution of pimps and pedophiles, in practice it was often used maliciously against "undesirables" such as interracial couples, foreigners, or those naughty, nasty movie stars -- most infamously it was used to destroy the life of Jack Johnson, the first African-American boxer to win the heavyweight title. (Oberon and Niven would have fit all three categories.) Niven later wrote that he found himself having to go to ground for a while to avoid prosecution, and lost at least half a dozen parts over the kerfuffle. Note that this was a consensual relationship between two unmarried adults, and that Oberon's career was also tarnished, although she was never targeted by the police (and, as Niven had asked, refused to speak to them).
* Creator/RomanPolanski was [[KickedUpstairs relegated to directing]] ''Film/{{Pirates}}'' when he committed statutory rape of at least one 13-year-old girl. He pleaded guilty, but then fled the country to avoid serving his sentence.[[note]]In this case, we're talking Role-Ending Felony.[[/note]] Obviously this forced him to delay his project; initially, he was also supposed to play Captain Thomas Bartholomew Red's sidekick Frog, but by the time he finally got around to making the film, he had apparently already figured out he was too old for the part. In an odd case, Polanski wasn't the only one who lost his intended role because of his crime and subsequent cowardice; Creator/JackNicholson, who was supposed to play Captain Red, found himself caught up in the same scandal as an innocent bystander in the long run when the role was given to Creator/WalterMatthau. Ultimately, the [=#MeToo=] movement deep-sixed Polanski's career and reputation beyond repair when he was kicked out of AMPAS the week after the Creator/BillCosby trial ended in Cosby's conviction.
* Creator/MeganFox was not included in ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'' because of her statements comparing working under Creator/MichaelBay to [[GodwinsLaw working for Hitler]] (Bay said in June 2009 that Fox was fired on orders of executive producer Creator/StevenSpielberg, who disapproved of her comments). Fox and Bay have apparently reconciled and she was cast as April O'Neil in the Bay-produced remake of ''Film/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|2014}}''; and she returned for the sequel.
* The career of film composer Dominic Frontiere (best known for films such as ''Film/TheStuntMan'' and ''Film/HangEmHigh'' and TV series like ''Series/TheOuterLimits1963'') was destroyed when he was jailed for a year in 1986 for scalping $500,000 worth of Super Bowl tickets (obtained from his then-wife, Los Angeles Rams owner Georgia Frontiere) and not reporting it to the IRS. After his jail sentence ended, Frontiere scored just one more film before his death in 2017 and his marriage ended as well.
* Inverted for Creator/RobertMitchum, who was arrested for marijuana possession in 1948, during a time when an arrest record would practically kill any celebrity's career. Instead, it helped boost his [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad boy image.]] It's even referenced in ''Film/LAConfidential''.
* Similarly, actor Rory Calhoun's past as a juvenile delinquent made the pages of ''Confidential'' magazine. Although Calhoun's persona wasn't that of a "bad boy", the fact that Calhoun's religious conversion had played a part in his rehabilitation smoothed the way.
** Interestingly, years later it was discovered that Calhoun's "outing" as a former juvie had been the work of his agent, who had given ''Confidential'' Calhoun's story in a deal he made to protect his biggest star - Rock Hudson - from being outed as gay.
* When it was decided to give ''Film/SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman'' a sequel, the original film's director Rupert Sanders was not chosen to return presumably due to his affair with Creator/KristenStewart. Although Stewart was slated to appear in the sequel, Universal ended up dropping her, too, and subsequently made it a ''pre''quel called ''Film/TheHuntsmanWintersWar''. Stewart claims she opted not to stay with the franchise due to disliking the scripts she was offered. The [[BoxOfficeBomb results]] [[FranchiseKiller were disastrous]].
* Herman Bing, a well-known character actor from Germany, lost appeal to American audiences when he was rumored to have sympathized with the Nazis during World War II, though these rumors were never actually proven. This left him unable to find any work in Hollywood so that, two years after World War II ended, Bing fell into depression and committed suicide by [[AteHisGun gunshot]].
* Creator/WarnerBros terminated its contract with Busby Berkeley, known for musicals such as ''Flying High'', ''42nd Street'', ''Gold Diggers of 1933'', ''Dames'', and ''Gold Diggers of 1935'', after he was arrested for drunk driving. It didn't help that UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode was just starting to be stringently enforced, and Warner suddenly had to become a lot more cautious to ensure its films didn't promote immorality.
* Creator/JeffreyJones committed career suicide with his child pornography incident in 2002. He's only done one film since, although he did have a role on ''Series/{{Deadwood}}'' and was allowed to keep doing voice work for ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim''.
* {{Subverted|Trope}} with Jason Mewes, who plays Jay in ''Film/TheViewAskewniverse'' films. After a number of drug-related incidents the director refused to let him be in ''Film/ClerksII'' unless he cleaned himself up. It helps that in ''Clerks II'' Jay is an [[ActorSharedBackground addict after rehab]].
* During the late 80s, Creator/RobLowe was celebrated as the new male sex symbol in films and television. This ended after he was caught in a sex tape scandal (before sex tapes became popular shortcuts to fame). While he still appears in mostly television movies, his career has never been as popular as it was before the scandal.
* John Dykstra was fired from Creator/IndustrialLightAndMagic for leading the special effects team of ''Series/BattlestarGalactica'', which was perceived as a ripoff of ILM founder Creator/GeorgeLucas's ''Film/StarWars'', though several of his employees remained at ILM, their original home turf. Dykstra would later prove that he was no [[ThePeteBest Pete Best]] through Apogee's involvement in numerous big-budget productions throughout the '80s.
* In an example of one person's legal troubles costing another person his job, Creator/MarlonBrando had a warrant for his arrest in Italy due to his involvement in ''Film/LastTangoInParis'', which had been banned there as legally obscene, and that precluded any shooting for ''Film/{{Superman}}'' in Italy. Guy Hamilton ended up paying the price, as that meant he was relegated to filming in the UK, but he could only work there for a limited time due to tax-related circumstances. When production failed to get sufficiently off the ground on time, his job went to Richard Donner.
* A ''Franchise''-Ending Misdemeanor: Creator/WesleySnipes' three year prison sentence for tax evasion has [[FranchiseKiller directly resulted in the termination]] of Creator/NewLineCinema's ''[[Film/BladeTrilogy Blade]]'' franchise. Marvel reacquired the film rights to ''ComicBook/{{Blade}}'' when New Line/Creator/WarnerBrothers were deemed unable to produce a fourth film on time due to Snipes' absence.
* ''Film/EasyRider'' has one of the most controversial examples of this. Originally, Rip Torn was cast to play George Hanson in the movie. However, during a dinner with Creator/DennisHopper and Peter Fonda at a New York restaurant discussing the movie, Torn and Hopper allegedly got into a fight after Hopper complained about the Southern culture and its adherents during his trips down there. Torn, a Texan, was ''pissed'' over Hopper's comments, and he withdrew from the project and was replaced with Creator/JackNicholson. In an interview with Jay Leno on ''Franchise/TheTonightShow'', Hopper claimed that Torn was fired from the film because he pulled a knife on him during the confrontation at the restaurant. Torn later successfully sued Hopper for defamation, claiming that Hopper pulled the knife on ''him''. Fonda by the way claims that whoever started it, they both went after each other--and they were brandishing butter knives, not switchblades. The circumstances of this event have been long debated.
* Amy Pascal was forced to resign as Chairman of Sony Pictures after a number of e-mails from Pascal libelling various celebrities as well as United States President UsefulNotes/BarackObama (some of them going as far as poking fun at his race) were leaked to the public as part of a cyber attack against the studio. Pascal has stated she will continue working with Sony, but in a lesser role.
* Lizabeth Scott, a minor star in the 1940s, saw her film career come to an abrupt end in 1954 when the tabloid ''Confidential'' accused her of being a lesbian, which was still illegal in California at the time. The decline of noir films, the genre that made her famous, did not help. She made a few attempts at comebacks in music and television, but never reached the same level of fame she previously enjoyed.
** In this case the situation was a bit more complex. Scott was relatively popular with film-going audiences of the period, but critics regularly savaged her supposed inability to act, and she had starred in an unusually large number of box office flops. Her career was going downhill for much of the 1950s. Film historians have since re-evaluated several of her films as underrated classics, and several writers have praised her acting skills. [[DeadArtistsAreBetter She has a way better reputation as a dead actress than she had while she was alive.]] ''Confidential'' often published stories about sexual scandals which had little to no base in reality, a fact which led to a sensational 1957 trial against its editors and owners. The chief editor Howard Rushmore often used stories to discredit political opponents, which is partly why Scott was targeted. Lizabeth Scott was politically a right-winger and a life-long Republican, but had repeatedly taken a public stance against Senator UsefulNotes/JosephMcCarthy and his anti-communist campaign. Rushmore was a former communist, turned fanatical anti-communist, and hero-worshiped the Senator. He searched for a way to take down Scott and pretty much manufactured stories about Scott having lesbian orgies during her visits in Paris and London. He named supposed lovers who could not defend themselves, since they were not United States residents.
* Creator/LanaTurner's film career ended after her then-boyfriend was killed and it was revealed that he had Mafia ties. Even though it was eventually revealed that Turner's daughter had killed him in self-defense, the damage was already done, and there was no possible way her career could ever fully recover for the rest of her life.
* Creator/WinonaRyder's career was stunted for a long while after her arrest for shoplifting. Creator/WoodyAllen stated in a memoir that he wanted to cast her in ''Melinda and Melinda'' along with Robert Downey, Jr., but her shoplifting along with his alcohol and drug problems made trying to get insurance on them (and a subsequent bond to shoot the film) impossible.
* Averted with Creator/TimAllen. Despite serving time for drug trafficking in the late '70s, he has been able to get steady work from Disney, which is notoriously tough on those with criminal records, afterwards. It helps that he was perfectly honest about it when applying for what would be his first job with the company.
* Randall Miller will probably never direct another film after a camera assistant was killed on the set of his film, ''Midnight Rider''. He illegally filmed a dream sequence on an active railroad track rather than arrange with a railroad company to film on an inactive track. The film company scrapped the film while Miller served a year in prison for manslaughter.
* Music/MarianneFaithfull screen tested for Creator/RomanPolanski's version of ''{{Theatre/Macbeth}}''. But once it was discovered that she was using heroin, she was immediately rejected.
* Lillo Brancato Jr, best known for playing teenaged Calogero in ''Film/ABronxTale'', was jailed for burglary in 2009. Though since his release in 2013, he has attempted to get his career back on track.
* On October 8, 2017, Oscar-winning movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was dismissed from Creator/TheWeinsteinCompany after several investigative reports - first by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey in ''The New York Times'' and then in [[https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/from-aggressive-overtures-to-sexual-assault-harvey-weinsteins-accusers-tell-their-stories a widely-read article]] by Ronan Farrow in ''The New Yorker'' - led to the discovery of sexual harassment allegations against him going back decades. At the same time, [[https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/10/harvey-weinstein-accusers-sexual-harassment-assault-rose-mcgowan-ashley-judd-gwyneth-paltrow several A-list Hollywood actresses]] - including Creator/RoseMcGowan, Creator/GwynethPaltrow, Creator/AshleyJudd and Creator/AngelinaJolie - accused Weinstein of sexual assault, rape or misconduct. The ensuing firestorm evaporated Weinstein's considerable clout in Hollywood virtually overnight, and further cost him his membership in the Academy, along with his marriage. [[MinorCrimeRevealsMajorPlot And that was just the beginning]]: it also encouraged other women (and a few men) to publicly charge [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_too_(hashtag)#Aftermath others in Hollywood]] of sexual abuse, which led to the accused being fired from their respective jobs as well.
** Revelations later in the year included a death threat to Creator/SalmaHayek and forcing her to add the lesbian sex scene in her movie ''Film/{{Frida}}'', a collusion conspiracy to keep actresses such as Judd and Mira Sorvino out of Hollywood (the latter which was revealed by Creator/PeterJackson, who Sorvino thanked for revealing the truth)[[note]]Both Judd and Sorvino were considered by Jackson for the ''Lord of the Rings'' films when Miramax had the rights, but Weinstein pushed Jackson not to cast either actress, claiming that the two were prima-donnas.[[/note]], and Harvey's brother Bob facing similar accusations. Ultimately, Bob was also pushed out of the company by potential buyers, including the owner of their former company Miramax.
** Weinstein president David Glasser was fired following a lawsuit by the New York Attorney General which named him as a complicit figure by inaction towards Weinstein's misdeeds, which presented a very real danger of scaring off the best buyer they could find up to that point just as the sale papers were about to be signed. It didn't help that said sale was mentioned by insiders to be TWC's last chance to avoid bankruptcy.
* Related to Harvey Weinstein, this also created a rare case of the person commiting the "misdemeanor" pushing the "role-ending" on another person trying to uncover said misdemeanor. Creator/RoseMcGowan has alleged that her film career dried up after Weinstein raped her, with her attempts to report the incident getting her blacklisted from all Weinstein productions. (She did go on to have more success in television, however, playing Paige Matthews on five seasons of ''Series/{{Charmed}}''.) Creator/RobertRodriguez has [[http://variety.com/2017/film/news/robert-rodriguez-rose-mcgowan-harvey-weinstein-1202600946/ stated]] that he went out of his way to cast her in ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}'' (a Weinstein-produced film) mainly because she told him about her experience and he wanted to literally "make him pay" for it -- and that Weinstein proceeded to [[ScrewedByTheNetwork bury the film]] as retribution.
* Actor and comedian Andy Dick, who has had a long history of creepy behavior, lost ''two'' film roles back-to-back in October 2017, shortly after the Weinstein allegations broke. First, he was dropped from the cast of the indie film ''Raising Buchanan'' after several members of the cast and crew accused him of assault. The same week, he lost his role in the comedy film ''Vampire Dad'' on his ''first day of filming'' after he groped a PA while being prepared for his first scene.
* After the sexual allegations involving Creator/KevinSpacey came out, Netflix cancelled a Creator/GoreVidal biopic that was in the works. To make matters worse, the Creator/RidleyScott-directed thriller ''Film/AllTheMoneyInTheWorld'' had its Oscar campaign for Spacey dumped and its premiere at [=AFI=] fest canceled at the behest of producers and Scott himself. Later, Spacey himself was dropped from the film only five weeks before its release [[TheOtherMarty and entirely recast by]] Creator/ChristopherPlummer -- who was then nominated for an Oscar for his work on the film just two months after he filmed it.
* Creator/LouisCK was also dropped from pretty much everything he was currently working on (such as ''I Love You Daddy'', a stand-up special for Netflix, an animated comedy called ''The Cops'', and the sequel to ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretLifeOfPets'' [where he played the main character Max]) and was fired from FX after he confirmed a series of sexual allegations thrown against him in November 2017. ''I Love You, Daddy'' itself--which is about [[AudienceAlienatingPremise a 17-year-old girl falling for a 68-year-old filmmaker]]--would later have its release cancelled by its distributor thanks to its premise and the allegations. Even his cameo in ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' was removed, with creator Alex Hirsch redubbing his dialogue personally for the digital streaming release.
* Creator/BryanSinger was fired from ''Film/BohemianRhapsody'' after repeatedly disappearing from the set for hours at a time, and then disappearing completely when the cast and crew took a break for Thanksgiving. When he ''was'' on set, his behavior was described as erratic and he often got into nearly-violent arguments with lead actors Creator/RamiMalek and Creator/TomHollander. His contract with the studio was already not renewed earlier in the year in the wake of sexual harassment allegations predating those levelled at Weinstein, but according to him the camel's back broke when he, of all things, took care of a sick parent. Malek's complaints to the studio and the looming allegations (which broke very shortly after he was fired) led many to suspect the writing was already on the wall for Singer before the Thanksgiving disappearance. The same allegations would later convince him to resign as executive producer of FX's ''Series/Legion2017''.
* Jamie Waylett was dropped from ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'' after being charged with cannabis possession. Instead, Blaise Zabini appears as Draco's sidekick rather than Crabbe [[spoiler:[[DeathByAdaptation and Goyle is killed in Crabbe's place]], with Crabbe himself [[UncertainDoom presumably rotting in Azkaban]].]]
* This happened to ''Creator/DavidNiven'', of [[QuintessentialBritishGentleman all people]]. At some point in the 1930s he was carrying on a torrid affair with Merle Oberon. During this time he accompanied Oberon on a rail trip from New York City to Los Angeles, spending the entire trip doing exactly what you're thinking in Oberon's private carriage. The only problem was that the US had a law at the time called the ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mann_Act Mann Act]]'', which forbade the interstate transport of women for "immoral purposes." Although the law was originally intended to simplify the prosecution of pimps and pedophiles, in practice it was often used maliciously against "undesirables" such as interracial couples, foreigners, or those naughty, nasty movie stars -- most infamously it was used to destroy the life of Jack Johnson, the first African-American boxer to win the heavyweight title. (Oberon and Niven would have fit all three categories.) Niven later wrote that he found himself having to go to ground for a while to avoid prosecution, and lost at least half a dozen parts over the kerfuffle. Note that this was a consensual relationship between two unmarried adults, and that Oberon's career was also tarnished, although she was never targeted by the police (and, as Niven had asked, refused to speak to them).
* Creator/RomanPolanski was [[KickedUpstairs relegated to directing]] ''Film/{{Pirates}}'' when he committed statutory rape of at least one 13-year-old girl. He pleaded guilty, but then fled the country to avoid serving his sentence.[[note]]In this case, we're talking Role-Ending Felony.[[/note]] Obviously this forced him to delay his project; initially, he was also supposed to play Captain Thomas Bartholomew Red's sidekick Frog, but by the time he finally got around to making the film, he had apparently already figured out he was too old for the part. In an odd case, Polanski wasn't the only one who lost his intended role because of his crime and subsequent cowardice; Creator/JackNicholson, who was supposed to play Captain Red, found himself caught up in the same scandal as an innocent bystander in the long run when the role was given to Creator/WalterMatthau. Ultimately, the [=#MeToo=] movement deep-sixed Polanski's career and reputation beyond repair when he was kicked out of AMPAS the week after the Creator/BillCosby trial ended in Cosby's conviction.
* Creator/MeganFox was not included in ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'' because of her statements comparing working under Creator/MichaelBay to [[GodwinsLaw working for Hitler]] (Bay said in June 2009 that Fox was fired on orders of executive producer Creator/StevenSpielberg, who disapproved of her comments). Fox and Bay have apparently reconciled and she was cast as April O'Neil in the Bay-produced remake of ''Film/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|2014}}''; and she returned for the sequel.
* The career of film composer Dominic Frontiere (best known for films such as ''Film/TheStuntMan'' and ''Film/HangEmHigh'' and TV series like ''Series/TheOuterLimits1963'') was destroyed when he was jailed for a year in 1986 for scalping $500,000 worth of Super Bowl tickets (obtained from his then-wife, Los Angeles Rams owner Georgia Frontiere) and not reporting it to the IRS. After his jail sentence ended, Frontiere scored just one more film before his death in 2017 and his marriage ended as well.
* Inverted for Creator/RobertMitchum, who was arrested for marijuana possession in 1948, during a time when an arrest record would practically kill any celebrity's career. Instead, it helped boost his [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad boy image.]] It's even referenced in ''Film/LAConfidential''.
* Similarly, actor Rory Calhoun's past as a juvenile delinquent made the pages of ''Confidential'' magazine. Although Calhoun's persona wasn't that of a "bad boy", the fact that Calhoun's religious conversion had played a part in his rehabilitation smoothed the way.
** Interestingly, years later it was discovered that Calhoun's "outing" as a former juvie had been the work of his agent, who had given ''Confidential'' Calhoun's story in a deal he made to protect his biggest star - Rock Hudson - from being outed as gay.
* When it was decided to give ''Film/SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman'' a sequel, the original film's director Rupert Sanders was not chosen to return presumably due to his affair with Creator/KristenStewart. Although Stewart was slated to appear in the sequel, Universal ended up dropping her, too, and subsequently made it a ''pre''quel called ''Film/TheHuntsmanWintersWar''. Stewart claims she opted not to stay with the franchise due to disliking the scripts she was offered. The [[BoxOfficeBomb results]] [[FranchiseKiller were disastrous]].
* Herman Bing, a well-known character actor from Germany, lost appeal to American audiences when he was rumored to have sympathized with the Nazis during World War II, though these rumors were never actually proven. This left him unable to find any work in Hollywood so that, two years after World War II ended, Bing fell into depression and committed suicide by [[AteHisGun gunshot]].
* Creator/WarnerBros terminated its contract with Busby Berkeley, known for musicals such as ''Flying High'', ''42nd Street'', ''Gold Diggers of 1933'', ''Dames'', and ''Gold Diggers of 1935'', after he was arrested for drunk driving. It didn't help that UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode was just starting to be stringently enforced, and Warner suddenly had to become a lot more cautious to ensure its films didn't promote immorality.
* Creator/JeffreyJones committed career suicide with his child pornography incident in 2002. He's only done one film since, although he did have a role on ''Series/{{Deadwood}}'' and was allowed to keep doing voice work for ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim''.
* {{Subverted|Trope}} with Jason Mewes, who plays Jay in ''Film/TheViewAskewniverse'' films. After a number of drug-related incidents the director refused to let him be in ''Film/ClerksII'' unless he cleaned himself up. It helps that in ''Clerks II'' Jay is an [[ActorSharedBackground addict after rehab]].
* During the late 80s, Creator/RobLowe was celebrated as the new male sex symbol in films and television. This ended after he was caught in a sex tape scandal (before sex tapes became popular shortcuts to fame). While he still appears in mostly television movies, his career has never been as popular as it was before the scandal.
* John Dykstra was fired from Creator/IndustrialLightAndMagic for leading the special effects team of ''Series/BattlestarGalactica'', which was perceived as a ripoff of ILM founder Creator/GeorgeLucas's ''Film/StarWars'', though several of his employees remained at ILM, their original home turf. Dykstra would later prove that he was no [[ThePeteBest Pete Best]] through Apogee's involvement in numerous big-budget productions throughout the '80s.
* In an example of one person's legal troubles costing another person his job, Creator/MarlonBrando had a warrant for his arrest in Italy due to his involvement in ''Film/LastTangoInParis'', which had been banned there as legally obscene, and that precluded any shooting for ''Film/{{Superman}}'' in Italy. Guy Hamilton ended up paying the price, as that meant he was relegated to filming in the UK, but he could only work there for a limited time due to tax-related circumstances. When production failed to get sufficiently off the ground on time, his job went to Richard Donner.
* A ''Franchise''-Ending Misdemeanor: Creator/WesleySnipes' three year prison sentence for tax evasion has [[FranchiseKiller directly resulted in the termination]] of Creator/NewLineCinema's ''[[Film/BladeTrilogy Blade]]'' franchise. Marvel reacquired the film rights to ''ComicBook/{{Blade}}'' when New Line/Creator/WarnerBrothers were deemed unable to produce a fourth film on time due to Snipes' absence.
* ''Film/EasyRider'' has one of the most controversial examples of this. Originally, Rip Torn was cast to play George Hanson in the movie. However, during a dinner with Creator/DennisHopper and Peter Fonda at a New York restaurant discussing the movie, Torn and Hopper allegedly got into a fight after Hopper complained about the Southern culture and its adherents during his trips down there. Torn, a Texan, was ''pissed'' over Hopper's comments, and he withdrew from the project and was replaced with Creator/JackNicholson. In an interview with Jay Leno on ''Franchise/TheTonightShow'', Hopper claimed that Torn was fired from the film because he pulled a knife on him during the confrontation at the restaurant. Torn later successfully sued Hopper for defamation, claiming that Hopper pulled the knife on ''him''. Fonda by the way claims that whoever started it, they both went after each other--and they were brandishing butter knives, not switchblades. The circumstances of this event have been long debated.
* Amy Pascal was forced to resign as Chairman of Sony Pictures after a number of e-mails from Pascal libelling various celebrities as well as United States President UsefulNotes/BarackObama (some of them going as far as poking fun at his race) were leaked to the public as part of a cyber attack against the studio.
