He went on: “Candace has such a high profile that when she speaks, she’ll speak on a lot of topics, and she has a wonderful podcast that is fantastic.”He noted: “I think that’s a very good and fair question. I don’t think when we set out to do any type of movie we cast it first.”
“The first thing we think about is a great storyline or great characters or an emotional journey. We’re not seeking to do anything or not do anything, and we take every day as it comes,” he added.The executive said in new interview that he does support Bure’s views, however, he’s not with her 100%.“We’re just looking to celebrate great stories.
