Speaks for a recent oral story carried out by Rolling Stone MagazineThe film’s director, Frank OzShared how much of these rumors, in his opinion, have been conflicts, but at the same time all have their own experience under the circumstances they met.
“Look, every set has a culture and a dynamic of its own, and there I have had difficulties,” he said. “The bad situations burst me because they show our weakness as people and our shortcomings (…) egos and fear, uncertainty when you get a crucible that is so pressured. Making a movie like this, we talk about millions and millions and millions. We talk about stars who believe it is better work, because it is not good if they do not. is The best for the movie, but they honestly think so. “
Dreyfuss also spoke with Rolling Stone for the piece and still seemed bitter about how “How about Bob?” was made, especially in relation to OZ’s quality as director and abuse of the film’s late producer, Laura Ziskin. During a particularly tense exchange, Murray apparently broke Zisk’s glasses over her inability to secure a day off for the crew on a holiday. While Dreyfuss considered Murray’s actions “quite crazy”, Oz sees what only him who is in strong defense for his employees.

And Richard said:” Is it Bill and talks or is it Bob Wiley talking? “And I remember that Bill grabbed a glass and said,” This is Bill talking. “And he raised the glass about 10 meters up in the air against a huge high fireplace and glass scattered all over the room.
Not many would consider this behavior acceptable, but After being in the business for a long time In many different roles, Oz thought it was only part of the process.
“We all have deficiencies,” he said. “And they come out when we are in this increased crucible of making a movie. But when you think about the world outside we are so lucky that we can do what we do. We are so tour, so Happy. And within this crucible, all this nonsense happens. When I look back, it’s just so much fun for me. “
