Unpaid Black Swan interns now trying to spark an intern revolution
The campaign by a pair of former Black Swan interns to get Fox Entertainment to acknowledge them without calling them "Gary" (THAT IS NOT THEIR NAME) continues, as the disgruntled duo is now considering a much larger class-action lawsuit designed to rally all of Fox's unpaid labor force, marching two-by-two into the halls of justice while the coffee orders just pile up. The Hollywood Reporter says that, though Fox had attempted to sidestep any legal obligation to address the lawsuit by passing the blame to director Darren Aronofsky's production company, and by saying to come by their office sometime after 5 to talk about it—knowing full well that it would be gone by then—attorneys for the plaintiffs have taken steps to "render that issue moot," broadening the suit's scope to include both production interns and corporate interns working for Fox.
