We got us another one. Max Landis. Son of child-killer/director John Landis who has reportedly been covering up his son's sex crimes.
John Landis, you may recall, directed a segment of The Twilight Zone movie. He included a scene where actor Vic Morrow carried two kindergarteners in the middle of the night under a helicopter hovering overhead with explosions going off around them. Landis decided that the best way to film this would be to have Vic Morrow try to carry two kindergarteners under a hovering helicopter with explosions going off around them in the middle of the night. The helicopter crashed on top of them killing all three.
John Landis had the bad taste to show up at Vic Morrow's funeral:
A thin, bearded man was coming down the aisle, seemingly unable to walk without assistance. He was supported by a woman and another man (Mrs. John Landis and George Folsey, Jr., the production manager of the "Twilight Zone" movie). The bearded staggerer was "Twilight Zone" director, John Landis.
His stooges helped him to the lectern and he began a rambling eulogy --unplanned, unrequested, unwanted and shocking to Vic's family and friends. His mere presence at the funeral was offensive to them. He did this, presumably, on the advice of his attorney.
The most obnoxious remark he made, among many, was that he was "proud to have directed Vic in what Vic, himself, considered the best performance of his career."John Landis was charged with manslaughter but got away with it. He was acquitted. This was in 1982. The public was so offended that a movie director could get away with murder that prosecutors began a crackdown on celebrities in Hollywood.
According to the Daily Beast
John Landis's son, Max, is now a screenwriter of sorts. According to The Daily Beast:
Netflix’s first blockbuster movie, the $90 million fantasy-actioner Bright, is a steaming pile of orc shit; a nonsensical garbage pile featuring elves, orcs, a checked-out Will Smith, Chicanx gangster stereotypes worse than those regrettable “Homies” figurines (a trademark of its director David Ayer), and a slow-motion shootout set to Bastille...You might want to just read The Daily Beast article since that's all I'm quoting here. They report that women on social media are making allegations against Max Landis:
The article goes on to quote Max Landis from an interview with Shelby Sells:
...wherein he alleges that an extra on one of his films tried to pursue him, so he gave her his number “because i was like, why not? maybe i’ll hook her up with one of my friends.”
“Women who are throwing it that easy—they’re not doing it because they think i’m cute, they’re doing it because they need some kind of validation. i’m a tiny, tiny bit successful, but in the scale of things you’re gonna fuck me for no reason? i don’t see it. i’m not on that level. i’m not a rockstar—i’m not in a band, you’re not going to be in my video. the only thing you could get from fucking me is getting to fuck me, and if so, lucky you,” said Landis. “i guarantee that’s not what any of these chicks who just throw it at me really want. granted they’ll have a wonderful time, but it’s weird. being a single guy in LA is fun as fuck and i love it. the fact that everyone here is so good-looking is intense and good and rewarding. something about everyone around you being a little bit better looking, it puts you in a good mood. i don’t feel bad or superficial for saying that. i’m also attracted to ambition and there’s a lot of that out here. but yea being a single guy in LA is great. sorry it took me so long to answer that question.”
Later on in the interview, Landis expounded on an ex he says he “gave a crippling social anxiety, self-loathing, body dismorphia, eating disorder to.”
