Actress Emma Thompson wrote to management at California’s Skydance studios to protest the decision to bring on John Lasseter, who is accused of sexual harassment.
The two-time Oscar winner was to voice one of the characters in the much-touted animated film “Luck,” and had already begun recordings, according to the entertainment news site Variety. Thompson wrote to management at the studio to protest the decision to bring on Lasseter, who is famous for transforming Pixar from a small graphics department into the most successful animation studio in the world.
“It feels very odd to me that you and your company would consider hiring someone with Mr Lasseter’s pattern of misconduct given the present climate in which people with the kind of power that you have can reasonably be expected to step up to the plate,” Thompson wrote in the note, whose authenticity her publicist confirmed to AFP.
