After the peaceful, yet sad death of Sean Connery (90) last Saturday, stories are shared on social media. One of the most interesting comes from writer Brian Koppelman.
Koppelman revealed that he and David Levien rewrote a screenplay in 2004 when Connery became involved and the relationship was right off the bat. However, things went wrong when the director came on board.
Koppelman: “There was a tricky series of actions underwater, so Sean asked the director how he wanted to shoot it and he says, ‘I’m just going to use movie magic.’ You could hear the quiet rage in Sean’s voice. ‘ started to please herself, so I want to know shot by shot how you are going to do this! ”The director offers to talk Friday at 11 and go through all the storyboards together. David and I were not needed and we were fine with that “.
“On Friday at 11:15 am our phone rings. An angry Sean yells ‘Where the fuck is that director’? We say we don’t know. And then suddenly we hear a loud sigh.” Ah Jesus Christ! turn on the TV and know where he is In a damn female player box at the French Open Sorry guys, I agreed to make a movie with a fraud at the helm You did a good job, but I’m quitting. Today, goodbye ‘. And that was it “.
Brett Ratner
The ‘director’ in question shines according to THE PLAYLIST Rush Hourmaker and the #metoo accused by 6 women Brett Ratner who led the project for (then) 20th Century Fox.
The title was Josiah’s Canon and the story revolved around a Holocaust survivor who becomes the world’s greatest bank robber and wants to rob an impenetrable bank in Switzerland, filled with Jewish treasures stolen during World War II.
In September 2004, it was reported that Connery had withdrawn completely abruptly (despite a $ 17.5 million dollar paycheck) with which The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) has become the definitive swan song of this legend on the big screen.
