MAJOR MELTDOWN on the set of a movie - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 03-22-2007, 10:24 PM

Behind the scenes footage from the making of I Heart Huckabees was leaked online showing director David O. Russell going completely nuts on actress Lilly Tomlin. Be warned, the clip features a lot of strong language. This is classic stuff.

Russell is notorious for being difficult on the set. In 1999, Russell and George Clooney nearly had a fistfight on the set of Three Kings. Not long after, an altercation occurred at a Hollywood party between Russell and director Christopher Nolan.

Idiots like this shouldn't be allowed to get away with doing something like this, why don't they have to be accountable to anyone.

Yikes, that's harsh.

How in the world does he get away with that.

TJL · 03-23-2007, 03:03 PM

In an article I read the other day about these two clips, co star Mark Whalberg was heard to say during the filming of this movie that he looked forward to doing a nice easy action movie for his next film.

Wow. And from what I understand, it takes a lot to **** off Lily Tomlin.

What's this jerk's problem? Yikes.

Lex Luthor · 03-24-2007, 02:38 AM

Me thinks someone needs some anger management or perhaps some Bipolar mediaction. Talk about abusing your employees.

James"Thunder"Early · 03-24-2007, 02:42 AM

That was insane, that director has serious problems.

Zebra 3 · 03-30-2007, 06:43 PM

Will these clips be included with the DVD?
