Sure but keep in mind that dropping them off the casting list does NOT mean they were going to be given roles in the franchise. According to Jackson, that conversation took place in 1998, while the films were still being developed and they were still throwing ideas around. During that stage of development in any big movie, names get attached and dropped from projects all the time. There's no guarantee either Sorvino or Judd would've even been serious contenders for roles in the film, so it's not quite the same thing as having a big starring role taken away from them.

Sorry, but I'm not sure what difference that makes?

If you don't see a difference between being dropped off a very long, very hypothetical list of possible actresses for a role and getting dropped from a role in which you were officially cast, I can't help you.

She'd still have a better chance at getting the role if she wasn't dropped due to a smear campaign by a sexual predator.

This.

As far as I can tell, there's no claims to the latter.

But a question is, who else got the message that Sorvino, Judd, and about a half-dozen others were unprofessional and "hard to work with," and how many other long lists did they get dumped from as a result?

It's textbook retaliation.

Of course not, but as far as I can tell, not one single person is claiming they were on the shortlist for roles in the franchise, only that Weinstein was, in fact, attempting to blacklist actresses.
