Scott Speedman's Sexuality Drama 'Open' Not Moving Forward

Scott Speedman looks so handsome while hitting the carpet for the premiere of his new film October Gale held during the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday (September 11) at the Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto, Canada.

The 39-year-old actor was joined at the premiere by his co-star Patricia Clarkson and the movie’s writer/director Ruba Nadda.

It was announced that same day that Scott‘s pilot Open had not been picked up to series by HBO.

The drama dealt with sexuality, monogamy, and intimacy in relationships. It was created by Ryan Murphy and also starred Fringe‘s Anna Torv, True Detective‘s Michelle Monaghan, and The Hunger GamesWes Bentley.

“After such a triumphant collaboration with The Normal Heart, everyone felt that Open was not the right next step for all involved,” HBO programming president Michael Lombardo said in a statement. “However, we fully expect to work together again in the near future.”

Jack O'Connell on Working with Angelina Jolie in 'Unbroken': 'She Strives For Selflessness'

Jack O’Connell suits up to attend the premiere of his latest film 71 held at the Princess of Wales Theatre during the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival on Wednesday (September 10) in Toronto, Canada.

That same day, the 24-year-old actor was spotted arriving at Pearson airport with his bags in hand ahead of the premiere.

Jack recently opened up about working with Angelina Jolie in their upcoming film Unbroken.

“Selflessness. She has that ability. She strives for it and that’s how she presents herself to people,” Jack expressed (via HitFix). “You really feel a level of compassion from her, which that then becomes a passion project. There’s a personal investment. And she’s nervous for me, which kind of helps me gain a perspective of what I can sort of expect. And there’s no guarantee that I’m going to respond to it well whatsoever, but as long as I acknowledge that and just take it day by day – I’ve got some good people around me and Angie has always offered support if I ever needed it. So yeah, and look, there’s a lot of positives in it, too. I’m finally where I want to be with my career, and so now it’s just a case of staying here and making the right decisions in order to, like I say, earn my keep.”
