Part 7/9:
For Rachel Zgler, the road to a comeback remains unclear. Industry insiders advise that she needs to secure a substantial role in a well-received project, ideally with studio backing, to rebuild her reputation and box office appeal. Simply being “attached” to a project without a firm offer or production plans is unlikely to do much for her career.
As for Hollywood, executives tend to be cautious about investing heavily in projects with uncertain casting—especially when key actors have blemished recent track records. The industry’s focus appears to be on proven stars or fresh faces with a proven box office pedigree.
