reported<\/a> Saturday. Ratner\u2019s production company RatPac-Dune Entertainment helped produce \u201cWonder Woman\u201d as part of a co-financing deal with Warner Bros.<\/p>\n\u201cShe\u2019s tough and stands by her principles. She also knows the best way to hit people like Brett Ratner is in the wallet. She also knows that Warner Bros. has to side with her on this issue as it develops,\u201d a Warner Bros. source told Page Six. \u201cThey can\u2019t have a movie rooted in women\u2019s empowerment being part-financed by a man \u00adaccused of sexual misconduct against women.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, it was reported that Warner Bros. will not renew its expired production deal with Ratner, whom six women recently accused of sexual harassment and misconduct. The fate of his company\u2019s $350-million co-financing agreement with Warner Bros. beyond its end in March 2018 is unclear.<\/p>\n
Ratner, who has denied the allegations, said earlier he was personally stepping away from Warner Bros. related activity. Ratner, who has been accused of sexual harassment by six women in recent days, helped finance the summer blockbuster, and took home a sizable stake of the $412million box office gross.<\/p>\n
\u201cWonder Woman\u201d grossed more than $400 million internationally, and Gat and director Patty Jenkins signed on make the sequel.<\/p>\n
Last month ,Gadot backed out<\/a> of a Jewish National Fund dinner in Hollywood. The co-chair of the dinner, she was scheduled to present the Tree of Life Award to Ratner but said she had a scheduling conflict.<\/p>\nGadot has repeatedly spoken out against sexual misconduct as millions of women and men in the United States, Israel and around the world have unleashed a flood of allegations of such behavior. The floodgates were opened with news reports last month about alleged sexual assault and harassment of women by Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. A Weinstein representative has said he denies \u201cany allegations of non-consensual sex\u201d and ever retaliating against women who rejected his advances.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that we are in the midst of a very interesting, important trend of people speaking out,\u201d Gadot told told Hadashot news in an interview aired Thursday. \u201cI only hope that it is not just going to be a trend but it is going to be a profound change.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
