It’s three years now that SM bought the rights for How To Stop Time. It’s such a shame it’s still not in production. Ben would be a real good Tom and it’s really a good story. But being a brillant actor is not enough to run a production comp. This imposed nepotism around him is a great nuisance and won’t help anybody in the long run.

It’s imposed alright, it appears that they may be holding Benedict hostage with the millions that they pilfered from his bank accounts. Remember this little leak?:I suppose when this foreign born A list dual threat actor saw his bank accounts were several million dollars less than they should have been, that perhaps he understood his wife was not really interested in love, but enriching her own accounts. That money has already moved several steps thanks to her long time lover. That’s on top of kompromat like the gay rape tape that the Lads apparently have. I’ll be posting a SM>Canongate/LL cash flow chart shortly 😇…

In defense I don’t think Migrations is a Canongate book.

That’s why I said “etc” but you can definitely tell that Adam’s got some sort of shady deal going on with Canongate. When I saw Shaun Usher bully TFOE viciously only because she witnessed something that SoFail did to Benedict in NYC? I knew that Shaun’s OTT reaction had less to do with friendship and more to do with protecting his own questionable interests. At Letters Live we also noticed that SoFail seemed very close to Jamie Byng, inappropriately so. Most of SoFail’s family used to live in Edinburgh so they all know each other. We heard that at least one of SoFail’s brothers and both of her parents extorted money from Benedict by pressuring SM into buying the rights to Megan Hunter’s novel. SoFail got into SM with the excuse that she would produce that project. She had no intention of doing so and only used her newfound access to steal even more!
