Considering that Tatiana Maslany’s casting was reported on by the biggest outlets covering Hollywood (and not a slew of untrustworthy sites), to refute her casting is a major twist, in my opinion.
Press releases are typically filled with official statements, casting, and other pertinent information about a project that the media then reports on.
I’m not going to lie, I think calling it a press release “that’s gotten out of hand” is a strange thing to say.
