Thought everyone would get a good laugh out of this.

hahaha. damn.

I read that earlier. I hadn't even heard of that movie until a week or so before it's released. It looked terrible.

Yeah that whole production was troubled from the start. It almost got shut down a couple of times. It is a shame. The director has made two decent movies in France before this and Gothika.

[skellorock]

thats funny, even tho he's being kind of a douche about it, you gotta respect honesty lol

[popdisaster00]

i don't see him being a douche at all, just a bummed out guy

[eraserhead]

he's not being a douche, he's pissed that the vision for his film was ruined by trite Hollywood bullshit.

[WordzandDreamz]

He actually sounds like a really smart guy who should be given the reigns to do something fresh and exciting.

[dissident]

he has good reasons to be upset, they bastardized his project.

[ESundy36]

Good for him, I'd be pretty pissed if my interpretation of a story was not respected and the producers created their own film.

[Adeniz19]

didn't he ask to take his name off the credits? haha that's rough

[Throwback]

Haha I remember the guy who directed The Jacket basically did the same thing. He was content with how his film turned out but apparently had a terrible experience with the producers, so he just started giving away the ending of the movie and explaining everything in interviews.

[becauseyouwant2]

If you want to check out a decent movie he made back in the day, "The Crimson Rivers" is worth checking out. It was a huge hit in France and Jean Reno is in it. Good stuff. A little bit out there, but really entertaining.

[Ailite]

At least he's on the majority side, haha.

[EchoPark]

Wow that is scathing. Leave it to Fox to fuck up a good movie
