Filming of a movie starring Bill Murray has been halted after an unspecified complaint.
variety announces that the shooting of the movie Being Mortal with Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogen and Bill Murray had to be interrupted. The reasons are currently quite mysterious, but it would be a complaint about the behavior of Bill Murray on the set. However, the type of complaint has not been specified at this stage.
The American professional magazine specifies that a letter was sent by the Searchlight Pictures studio to the entire film crew, informing them of the interruption of filming due to a “unspecified complaint“.”At the end of last week, we were informed of a complaint, and we immediately sought to inquire“, indicated this letter. Variety approached Searchlight Pictures who did not wish to comment.
For the moment, it is not known if Bill Murray remains in the credits of the film, or if a replacement is planned. Filming had started at the end of March, and about half had been completed.
The film is an adaptation of We are all mortal: what really matters at the end of life by Atul Gawande. This book covers topics such as palliative care and how medicine has evolved over time.
Remember that this is not a first for Bill Murray. It is said that his behavior would have been a problem for Lucy Liu in the middle of filming a scene from Charlie’s Angels. The comedian would have stopped to tell Lucy Liu that she could not act. An argument then broke out. The two have since reconciled.
