"Many of the ex-friends, colleagues, and girlfriends that spoke to The Daily Beast for this piece stressed the role that Landis’s careful cultivation of acquaintances played in his alleged pattern of predation.

He's a Great White Hope--as in, some guy Hollywood picks as The Messiah that's going to rescue the film industry. Same reason why idiots like Shammalammadingdong and Gerard Butler kept getting work after bombing again and again. Hollywood sees certain people and thinks. "Yes! That's the one! That's the next Orson Welles/Paddy Chayevsky/Kubrick! And if we keep throwing money at him, he'll crank out a brilliant movie eventually. Just you wait and see."
