I think it is the good move here.
He’s a class act (and a strong golfer). Great guy to do business with. Well-deserved.
Gumpert is a treasure. Prediction: he will be running a studio in 5 years. Super smart. Great social skills. Speaks to the biggest actors and the guards at the gate without thought to who they are. Crazy good dealmaking ability. Politician. Handsome. Good lineage dad is one of the dealmakers out there. Creative skills is the only question one might have about him but his ego is small enough thast he isn’t afraid to tell you he doesn’t know.
good luck gump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on Mr. Gumpert’s promotion. Perhaps he can explain to Angelina Jolie why I will NOT spend my money on a movie that she is in.
I’m tired of anti-American Socialists bashing our country while they make millions of dollars off of the American people. Angelina reportedly said that she was leaving the U.S. over Thankksgiving because whe was NOT going to celebrate the massacre of Indians.
She is certainly entitled to her opinion – even though she obviously has not read the history on Thanksgiving. Likewise, I’m entitled to NOT spend a dime of my money on any of her movies.
Thank you,
