Producer Scott Rodin, who retracted the film and theater industry in 2021 after allegations of misuse of the workplace, plans to return in Broadway.
The New York Times reported on Friday that Rodin is developing a handful of Broadway production. It includes “Little Bear Ridge Road”, which is the play of Samuel Dr. Hunter, who will star in Lori Metcal, from director Joe Mantello, for this fall; “Montauk”, a new play for David Hair also with Metcalf and Mantello, next spring; And the revival of the “death of a seller” with Nathan Lin, McCalf and Mantelo for the next season.
Rodin was recruited from the industry after THR informed that Rodin threw elements to the employees, including potato stapler and baked potatoes, threatening employees and threatening them with job retaliation if they left his job, destroying computer control at the hands of one of the assistants, and sending him to the emergency room. These allegations came after #Metoo Hollywood rocked and many people spoke after re -evaluating and condemning offensive working conditions. With the New York Times, Rodin had his bad behavior over the past four years.
“I have a lot of restraint more than I had four years ago. I learned that I don’t care much, and I think this is very healthy. I don’t want to let anyone down. Not just me. My husband, family and collaborator.” “What happened in 2001 was inevitable. Not much did not say that it was not said several times. So I always felt frankly, that once the culture started to change, it would one day change for me.”
Rudin produced Broadway strikes such as “The Book of Mormon”, “To Kill a Mockingbird”, such as Best Picure Winner “No Country for Age Men” and “The Social Network” and many others. It is one of the few winners (the people who received Amy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony). After the abuse of the workplace’s abuse appears, the A24 ended its commercial partnership with Rudin.
“Much of what was said was true. Some of what was said was not true. But I did not feel that there was any point in responding to all of this because what is the goal of bad behavior? It was a bad behavior. I own it.” “I don’t think I was ever in the dark about the reason for my leadership. I knew why I was cruel to people. For a long time, it looked like a price that I could live with. I wasn’t really thinking about the price that others could live with, because production at the folder level required a level of narcissism.
Many Broadway stars, such as “Moulin Rouge’s” Karen Olivo and “Music Man’s” Sutton Foster, demanded its production to correct relationships with Rudin after the appearance of allegations. Aaron Sorkin’s play “Killing the Simulator” also canceled its reopening.
At that time, Rodin apologized in a general statement, saying, “I am very sorry for the pain caused by my behavior and took this step with the commitment of growth and change.”
“I will try to return and do some good work, and people will feel what they feel. If some people are really angry, they will have the right to anger about it. I have what I did. I feel proud to work in general, and badly about the cost of some of the people who worked on it.”
