Helena Bonham Carter's White Lotus performance somehow wasn't "boisterous" enough for Mike White

As we previously reported, Helena Bonham Carter’s character in the fourth season of The White Lotus was dismissed and replaced with a new character that will be portrayed by Laura Dern. Carter left the production toward the end of April over reported “creative differences” that emerged when the Cannes-set season began production. Now, Variety has offered a few more details about the nixed character. The character was meant to be a down-on-her-luck actress looking for a comeback, and that the “creative differences” emerged from Mike White’s insistence upon a “boisterous” (Variety‘s word) performance, which would normally seem to be the kind of performance Carter would easily turn in.
