Sons of Anarchy creator and producer Kurt Sutter has called out AMC over the firing of Frank Darabont.
Sutter took to Twitter yesterday and blasted AMC for breaking the bank for Mad Men and making The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad pay the price.
“darabont reacted strongly to slashed budgets. he made mistakes, he was fired,” the outspoken Sutter wrote on Twitter Thursday. “no creative in town will trust AMC to back up their artists,” Sutter wrote on Twitter. “i don’t know MW, got no beef with him. just hate that darabont is being demonized. no one has the balls to tell the truth. MM gutted AMC,” he then added.
Sutter says: “why darabont got fired – weiner. he held AMC hostage, broke their bank, budgets were slashed, shit rolled down hill onto gilligan and frank…
“no one else wants to f–king say it, but the greed of mad men is killing the other two best shows on tv — breaking bad and walking dead,” added Sutter, referring to AMC’s long negotiations Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner and Breaking Bad showrunner Vince Gilligan.
Sutter later defended his comments on Twitter.
“i have trouble determining the line between honesty and brutal frankness. i usually get pushed past it by bullshit and injustice,” he said. “apparently speaking one’s mind is outrageous, troublesome and self-indulgent. man, this is a town full of silent, terrified d**ksuckers.”
Too bad Mad Men has peaked and the other two shows has one one the way up WD and one about to crest BB.
Surprised even the morons can’t see that.
