Andy Tennant, director of Couplingrevealed that he had trouble dealing with Will Smith during the production of 2005 romantic comedy.
The film where the winner of the Oscars plays a professional appointment doctor is considered one of his best successes.
However, the Bad Boys Star had creative differences with the filmmaker, whom the latter described as a “battle”.
“We had our difficulties. The film I wanted to make and the film Will did not want to make any of these films is as good as the film we made together,” he said Business Initiated.
“It was a battle. [Smith’s wife] Jada [Pinkett Smith] It was a great help. In a way, she supported some of my instincts. There was a time during the preparation where I pushed. Lots of crazy shit that was going on. “”
The filmmaker recalled that the differences with him began to appear from the start.
“There was a draft which will be brought that I was not a fan of. I finally said to the studio that I was more afraid of the desire to make this version of the film that I was not shoot “,” the 69 -year -old man added.
“Because I knew they were about to fire me before I even started to shoot. And on the credit of Will, we did not go with this project. I don’t think I was never in favor of person.”
The impasse became so thorough that Andy said that “tried to back up three days before starting to shoot” to work on the script, noting: “He wanted to close and work a little more. It was madness. “”
But in the end, when the shooting started, he said that the differences have gradually started to undress.
“It was a bunch of good creative people doing their best. Andy concluded.
