It is not lost on us, but it’s an odd one,” Levinson said. “We know we are making a show that is provocative. Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, Levinson said he found the Rolling Stone report “completely foreign” to his experience.
“He hires people whose work he esteems and has always created an environment in which I felt seen, heard, and appreciated.”
Working with Sam is a true collaboration in every way – it matters to him, more than anything, not only what his actors think about the work, but how we feel performing it,” she added. “Never have I felt more supported or respected in a creative space, my input, and opinions more valued. We look forward to sharing ‘The Idol’ with audiences soon.”ĭepp, meanwhile, called Levinson – who also created the blockbuster HBO show “Euphoria” – the “best director” she’d ever worked with.
“Throughout the process, the creative team has been committed to creating a safe, collaborative, and mutually respectful working environment, and last year, the team made creative changes they felt were in the best interest of both the production and the cast and crew. The initial approach on the show and production of the early episodes, unfortunately, did not meet HBO standards so we chose to make a change,” a rep for HBO said in a statement. “The creators and producers of ‘The Idol’ have been working hard to create one of HBO’s most exciting and provocative original programs. HBO and Depp quickly pushed back on that characterization at the time. “It’s really frustrating seeing Amy doing her damn best to turn around some kind of product that she can be somewhat proud of to HBO… and then to turn around and have Sam get essentially a blank check to turn it into ‘Euphoria Season Three with pop stars’ is extremely, extremely frustrating.”
“I went into ‘The Idol’ thinking that this might be an interesting collaboration, but I left it pretty convinced that is not quite collaborative,” a source claimed to Rolling Stone.
