Quentin Tarantino fired Mélanie Laurent and Isabelle Huppert from "Inglourious Basterds" because Laurent was "terrible" at the table read and Huppert never showed up to it. Only Laurent got her role back.
"Isabelle didn’t show up. So f*ck it. I fired her. I mean, I love Isabelle Huppert — ‘Heaven’s Gate’ and all that — but there were issues with her contract. It just kept stalling. And then not coming to the table read... That invariably happens. As far as I’m concerned, if you’re cast and you are not at that table, I don’t owe you jack sh*t! You can be fired, especially if I get excited by what somebody else did in your absence... I have no moral compass when it comes to giving roles to actors: They have to be right. They have to feel like they are right for the world I have created. I have fired actors in the past. If it’s not right, it is not right. I don’t owe them shit. I owe my film the best actors I can find. Period.” (via “The Making of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds”/People)

zuck being unfuckable by the board is a good reference for the current nvdia/jensen situation.
it was only possible because facebook grew too fast for investors to even negotiate against zuck.
it was zuck’s way or high way and unfortunately it is extremely rare (snap was similar afaik)
