Adam Venit Retiring From WME As Terry Crews Suit Settled
UPDATED from 8:49 AM story with Terry Crews ’ response: Adam Venit , the longtime talent agent and an architect of Endeavor and WME ’s movie businesses, is retiring Monday. Venit told his close colleagues and clients yesterday that he has made the decision to retire, and he is transitioning a stellar list of stars and filmmakers to others at WME, a list that includes Adam Sandler, Sylvester Stallone, Shawn Levy, Dustin Hoffman, Eddie Murphy, Michael B. Jordan, Vince Vaughn, M. Night Shyamalan and Marc Forster. His final months as an agent included becoming mired in the #MeToo controversy after former WME client Terry Crews claimed the agent groped him at a party. Venit apologized, but Crews was steadfast and has become a forceful voice in that victims don’t necessarily have to be women. Being drawn into that narrative certainly dampened the spirit of Venit, who was temporarily suspended and stripped of his title as head of WME’s Motion Picture Group. Crews today … [Read more...] about Adam Venit Retiring From WME As Terry Crews Suit Settled
Director Volker Schlöndorff On Dustin Hoffman Sexual Harassment Allegations: Actor Is Just “A Kidder”
Volker Schlöndorff, who directed Dustin Hoffman in the 1985 TV movie Death Of A Salesman , is coming to the actor’s defense – whether Hoffman likes it or not – by dismissing claims of sexual harassment as just so much on-set Responding to claims by writer Anna Graham Hunter that she was sexually harassed by the actor when she was a 17-year-old intern on the film, the director says Hoffman was just being “a clown” and a “kidder.” “Slapping her butt on the way to the car, with driver, stage manager and PAs around, may have happened, but again in a funny way, nothing lecherous about it,” the director said in a statement sent to several websites including Eye For Film . The allegations were made by Hunter in a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter, in which she described her experiences as a Death of a Salesman production assistant during her senior year in high school. Hoffman, she wrote, “asked me to give him a foot massage my first day on set; I did. He was … [Read more...] about Director Volker Schlöndorff On Dustin Hoffman Sexual Harassment Allegations: Actor Is Just “A Kidder”
Lionsgate Studios Yonkers Owner Great Point Buys Big Broadway Set Designer Hudson Scenic
Robert Halmi ’s Great Point Studios has acquired Hudson Scenic, a Tony-nominated builder of set designs, custom fabrication and automation services for theater, film, TV and theme parks with credits ranging from Hamilton, Hadestown, Aladdin and The Lion King to the Times Square Ball. The shop is just a mile down the Hudson River from the new Lionsgate production campus in Yonkers, owned and managed by Great Point. Halmi said that given explosive demand for studio space and a massive backlog led by “all the streamers, who want shows faster, anything you can do to help speed that up” helps – in this case “building sets before they [productions] get here” with easy transport to the studio, versus construction directly on site, which can be time consuming. “And you will get the sets cheaper because we have a 100,000-square foot facility. We have the wood. We have the steel. And we can take it up to you the day before you need it,” he told Deadline. Halmi declined to … [Read more...] about Lionsgate Studios Yonkers Owner Great Point Buys Big Broadway Set Designer Hudson Scenic
Interview: Winona Ryder
W inona Ryder thinks reading me her diaries is a dreadful idea. I beg her in the name of science, medicine and anything else I can think of. We talk it over. And over. I tell her she would be giving a gift to the readers — something pure, unfiltered, straight from the mountain spring. She tells me that hauling out those spiral notebooks would be “the cheesiest, tackiest thing in the world.” Still, she mulls it over. For weeks, she says neither yes nor no. Instead, I get the message you occasionally get from those old Magic 8 Balls: Reply Hazy, Try Again . On New Year’s Day, Ryder calls from her place in New York, and this time the Magic 8 Ball says, incredibly, Signs Point To Yes . The 22-year-old actress lives in a gorgeous, stately apartment building in Manhattan — an ocean liner drifting through a gray and dingy neighborhood. Tonight, Ryder’s friend Kevin Haley and her boyfriend, Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum, are downstairs cooking dinner. The actress is in her bedroom, … [Read more...] about Interview: Winona Ryder

Travis Scott Plans First Major Post-Astroworld Concert
Travis Scott is slated to perform his first individual ticketed concert since last November’s deadly Astroworld tragedy. Scott will be playing at London’s 02 Arena on August 6th. While Scott has already performed publicly since the disaster — he played a late-night set in Miami in May and played private events for a pre-Oscars party and a Coachella afterparty — the show marks the first of his own ticketed concerts.

Adam Venit, Ex-WME Agent At Center Of Terry Crews Assault Claims, Sued For Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence By Spouse
Four years after leaving WME under a cloud of allegations of sexually assaulting Terry Crews , one-time top agent Adam Venit has now been accused of an abundance of sex crimes and more by his wife. “Adam’s brazen public assault on an imposing male former professional athlete pales in comparison to the abuse Adam has and continues to inflict on his wife behind closed doors,” says a lawsuit filed late Sunday by Venit’s estranged wife Trina that alleges domestic violence, sexual battery, assault, defamation and stalking. ( Read it here; warning, the complaint is pretty graphic ). “Over the course of their 20-plus year marriage, Adam has physically, sexually, mentally, emotionally and verbally abused and insistently stalked and monitored Trina,” reads the nine-claim complaint filed in federal court. “He inflicted countless unspeakable acts upon the woman he professed to love,” adds the explicit 18-page suit, which is seeking a jury trial. “Adam strangled, punched, kicked, … [Read more...] about Adam Venit, Ex-WME Agent At Center Of Terry Crews Assault Claims, Sued For Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence By Spouse
