FIGHT BETWEEN DIRECTOR DAVID O. RUSSELL AND LILY TOMLIN

March 21st 2007 19:55
This is really amusing. When we see a movie it never occurs to us what has happened while filming a particular scene. The finished material looks so perfect, when in reality it might have been a hell to create.

For you that have seen or even heard about I Heart Huckabees, this will be very interesting. For you that haven't, this will still be interesting:




Like you probably already have guessed, the man screaming is the director, David O. Russell and the poor woman is well-known Lily Tomlin.

Who's fault it is? Judging from more than this incident, David O. Russell's. While shooting Three Kings, they say that a similar fight occurred between George Clooney and him, when Clooney didn't like the way he treated the cast. Here's what they supposedly said to each other:

Clooney: David, it’s a big day. But you can’t shove, push or humiliate people who aren’t allowed to defend themselves.

Russell: Why don’t you just worry about your fucked-up act? You’re being a dick. You want to hit me? You want to hit me? Come on, pussy, hit me.

OUCH.

Whatever the case is, I like Russell's movies. Too bad he has to be that way...

Wow... that's incredible! I love the last bit where the rest of the crew scatters! I can't believe that went on like that... and I can't imagine there'd be too many actors/actresses wanting to work on Russel's films. Unreal.

Hey Wendi, glad you popped in.

Yea, I know, it's freakish. It's fun to watch but I can't imagine the tension going on at that moment. No, not many would want to work for him, but still, usually his movies becomes successful so...

Even actors/actresses have bills to pay.

Laterz,

PS. I hope you didn't break a neck or something watching this.

I read the "Playboy" interview with Clooney about that confrontation with Russell. Whew! Clooney wouldn't say anything bad about him, but confirmed that he wouldn't do another movie with him either.

Talk about creating a hostile work environment. I'm surpirsed Lily Tomlin does not sue the studio for harrassment. Calling people names, like Russell did, are probably against company policy. Human Resources must be up to the necks in complaints... if they are not... they should be. No one deserves to work in an environment like that. Most corporations have policies against such behavior.

I'm a bit surprised at some ot the comments online. (e.g. "whatever the case... I still like Russell movies.) What's up with that??? Where's you're human dignity? You're talking about a stupid movie vs people's rights.

Hi Anon,

I agree with you at most points, but you can actually still like Russell's movies even though he's a shit.

It's like not listening to music because most of the makers are drug-addicted. Or something. Ok, bad example but you get my point.

But Russell is definitely a shit. A smelly one.

Cheers,
