Former Sen. Bob Kerrey (D) "will not take the job leading the Motion Picture Association of America after the two sides realized they were too far apart on their respective visions for the position," according to the Hollywood Reporter.
"After weeks of negotiations and rumors, Kerrey and the MPAA on Thursday agreed to end their negotiations over the top post. Kerrey was offered the chance to become the chief lobbyist and global spokesman for the movie and TV industries more than two months ago."
