Did these Hollywood directors deserve to be fired from their films, or was it simply an overreaction? Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/ho3Hg6
Changes in Hollywood happen all the time, but when it comes to a big actor or director, headlines are typically made the drastic changes. While creative differences is the go-to excuse these days, there have been some pretty outlandish reasons movie directors have been fired over the years.
Surprisingly, a number of these firings are over big-budget blockbuster films including Jaws, Brave, and Moneyball. With a classic like Jaws all it took was the director to have pretty minimal knowledge of marine life. For Moneyball, the director wanted to feature a lot less Brad Pitt and a lot more real footage. With movies like the Exorcist, a director’s vision caused the whole production to change and resulted in the release of two separate movies. Sometimes directors get fired for comments they made outside the film, including Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn. These stories build up in the press even if the film companies try to keep them quiet. Michael Crichton adaptations like Jurassic Park are typically a hit, but the 13th Warrior went through a ton of changes, including an odd filming schedule. Bryan Singer has helmed some pretty epic films before, but the director pulled a disappearing act during one of his newest films. Dealing with tough actors is one thing, but Richard Stanley lost his job because of it. Imagine if you’re directing a movie and one of your lead actors decides to edit the film himself. Welcome to American History X.
Watch to see all the strange reasons these directors were fired over the years!
