In a development that many predicted when she first announced that she was going to cave to the demands of activists and pull out of the film, the chances that audiences will ever see “Rub & Tug,” a film featuring a transgender massage parlor owner formerly to be played by Scarlett Johansson, are not looking good.
“The future of ‘Rub & Tug’ is in limbo following Scarlett Johansson’s exit from the project because of objections to her playing a trans man,” The Wrap reports. “According to an individual with knowledge of the project, it is unclear if ‘Rub & Tug’ will actually go into production. The insider indicated it doesn’t look good for the movie, which still has director Rupert Sanders attached.”
