Seriously, what's her secret?
>Seemingly with a push from Brett Ratner, Millennium Films' chairman Avi Lerner has worked unsuccessfully for two-plus years to help the aspiring 26-year-old British actress secure roles in movies produced by his company, including a female-fronted version of THE EXPENDABLES that never got made and CHUCK, a 2016 boxing drama starring Liev Schreiber.
>The campaign to put Kirk in movies came as the actress had become a serious problem for Warner Bros. chairman Kevin Tsujihara. After the married Tsujihara started an affair with Kirk in September 2013, she pressured him to help her find roles. Tsujihara set up introductions on her behalf, and she secured small parts in two Warner Bros. films: HOW TO BE SINGLE, from the studio's New Line label, and OCEAN'S 8. Tsujihara's lawyer says his client played no "direct role" in Kirk's hiring.
>Kirk was introduced to Tsujihara by Australian billionaire James Packer, then partners with Ratner in Warners-based RatPac Entertainment. At the time, Kirk was having an affair with Packer, according to texts between them.
>When it came time to cast the Millennium-financed HELLBOY remake, sources say veteran producer Lawrence Gordon balked at giving Kirk a major role, even though he was pressured not only by Lerner but by a number of influential individuals in Hollywood. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, one top executive at another media giant confirms that Kirk is a friend whom he met several years ago through a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and acknowledges that he attempted to intercede on her behalf. Gordon declined to comment.
