This bit of info made me more angry at that shitty The Telegraph article that described BC as someone hungry for winning an Oscar. I wrote at the time how the author didn't bothered to investigate how was in reality The Imitation Game's Oscar campaign and in particular BC participation. Yes, silly award fan boys hated BC beforehand anything was even done because he was the Weinstein boy and there were crazy conspiracy theories about him getting married (and getting his girlfriend pregnant!) because somehow it would supposedly helped him to win the award but people that were actually there (as Scott Feinberg, for example) admitted at the time that BC was actually doing a half-time camping. Most of the time he was actually working at the other side of the Atlantic! There are interviews in which BC actually talks about don't wanting to campaign for the award because work and being kind of bullied by Weinstein trying to "convince him" (before the actual campaign); not doing all the things he was told to do during the campaign (during the Oscar ceremony); and being in general in the receiving end of Weinstein fury for not being completely obedient (again in an interview with Feinberg at TIIF meanwhile promoting TCW weeks before the Weinstein scandal broke).
There's the question in the air of why he accepted to do another film with the guy when he knew he was such a bully but that wasn't asked because clearly they didn't reach anyone involved in the movie to talk about it. They were ignorant of any details. They just copied and pasted a Deadline interview with Gomez-Rejon and wrote sarcastic comments about the British star because he is from home and they hate when local kids are successful.
Now we know they don't even knew they weren't watching the newest version! They promoted it as such because they read it on American press but clearly didn't even bothered to ask!
