> Although not 'Hollywood Accounting', Jonah Hill
The comment is about Hill taking less (a lot less) to be in a Scorsese film. That seems like an entirely reasonable tradeoff. He wound up with a second oscar nomination out of it. It's also a move that no one would bat an eye over if it was to do some artsy indie film.
- jasode 10y agoRight. The Jonah Hill example was about "no leverage" inside of a larger comment about Hollywood Accounting. Jonah himself didn't suffer from Hollywood Accounting -- unless he did sign one of those "net points" deals of which he gets ongoing residuals of $0 that the public doesn't know about. An unequal power dynamic between the talent and the studio means some actors accept deals such as Hollywood Accounting, or SAG minimum wage, or possibly both.
