Russell Crowe, Ridley Scott ‘caught up in new tiff’
By ANIWednesday, June 10, 2009
NEW YORK - Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott are caught up in a new tiff on the set of their film Robin Hood, according to reports.
The pair was said to have been quarrelling for quite some time and their new flare up had allegedly made producers jet in to London.
“The producers had to fly to London because Russell and Ridley won’t talk to each other. Every time they stop filming, it costs the production millions of dollars,” the New York Post quoted an insider as saying.
Crowe’s publicist, Alan Nierob, however, denied the reports of any rift between the A listers, insisting: “It’s a good scene down there. Everything is on schedule.”
Universal chairman Marc Shmuger added: “Ridley and Russell asked us to visit . . . to see more than an hour of footage they’ve already shot, which was nothing short of spectacular . . . We couldn’t be more excited by what we saw.
“Russell and Ridley are working on their fifth film together and have one of the strongest and most collaborative working relationships. When it’s news that a studio chairman and a film’s producer [Brian Grazer] visit a production, it must be a very slow gossip day.” (ANI)
