@Mustangride1, of course just because someone claims they’re being treated like shit doesn’t mean they’re telling the truth
Since we’re talking about movie directors, here’s a couple of examples i heard of directors being “difficult”:
James Cameron had a no phones on set rule (a rule you can relate to), so if actors brought their phone on set, phone would be nailed to the wall, rip phone
Quentin Tarantino had a no sleeping on set rule, if actors fell asleep on set, they’d get a photo of themselves sleeping… next to a giant dildo
Are their reactions exaggerated? Maybe a little… but based on these stories alone i have no reason to belive they’d treat their actors like this had they followed the rules (which these rules alone aren’t unreasonable) or off set
Whedon, on the other hand, has stories about him being a dick off set, even to his own wife, obvioussly, innocent untill proven guilty, but, all signs point to him being a dick
