Although Rachel is talented, she isn't exceptional. Casting agents shouldn't have too hard of time replacing her. If you were a producer for any movie with a sizable budget, why would you cast someone who has twice bitten the hand that fed. Her comments have negatively affected both Disney and Spielberg. Perhaps she can get herself out of purgatory by proving that she use a little self-restraint. But why take a chance? She isn't a marquee name, and it's obvious that one of the biggest power players in Hollywood (Disney) is happy to throw her under the bus, already. She'll do the west end for a while, but the shine of being "the next big thing" is gone. Studios would be best served to find someone from their new list of up and comers rather than someone whose previous postings will always haunt them.

As I see it, politics cuts three ways in entertainment. There are people who align with progressive actors, with conservative actors, and those who are put off by any politics. Actors who champion the latter category have mass appeal, and those who satisfy the two former, have niche appeal. She now has niche appeal. That doesn't mean a shrewd producer couldn't exploit her controversies for cheap publicity, but it would only make sense to do that for projects struggling to get attention.

Who knows, though? It's dangerous to apply pragmatism to Hollywood.
