Bryan Singer would have "lived up to his old tricks" on the Bohemian rhapsody ensemble

"From the beginning, he lived up to his old tricks," said an insider at the exit. "He would shoot, he would be exhausted, [cinematographer] Tom Sigel would draw. "

Sigel, T.H.R. notes, took over the shooting duties for Singer on previous films. An insider told the trade that on the set of 2016 X-Men: Apocalypse, Singer was "emotionally very fragile" and would arrive at work late and unprepared. He allegedly would cry if his behavior was disputed. In addition, he had constant visitors, "people entering and leaving the city, housed in hotels, as he pleased," said the insider. Given all this, "I was a little shocked when they went ahead with Rhapsody. How many bats are there?

As RhapsodyThe shooting took, T.H.R. In writing, the actors and the team would apparently be waiting for Singer as soon as he is late or absent. Tom Hollander, who played the queen manager Jim Beach, would have been so frustrated that he left the project for a time. The report repeats that Singer had an altercation on the set with Malek, whose actor allegedly complained to Fox. The studio then sent executives to London, but the director's behavior (including a report that he threw a piece of electrical equipment on the set, though it was not specific to anyone) was "reputed not to give place to an action ". T.H.R. Notes.

"Any discussion about fights between me and Rami Malek is simply an exaggeration of some creative differences that were quickly resolved," Singer said in a statement. "It's normal on a film set. And I think the job speaks for itself. "

The troubles that led to his dismissal began around Thanksgiving, when Singer asked the studio to stop production for several weeks to return home. By T.H.R. Snider told him not to do it, but the director left anyway. "I put more than a year and a half of my life and passion into the film Bohemian Rhapsody,"Singer said in a statement at the exit," I am also extremely proud of the finished product.In the end, I asked the studio to allow me to go home to occupy myself. " a sick relative.This also affected my own health.I felt we could finish the remaining few days in January.The studio did not have it. "

His decision to leave eventually led to his dismissal – and although Singer retains the credit of his director for the film, he is no longer credited as a producer. Meanwhile, Bohemian Rhapsody has been dragged by critics even though it is expected that he is enjoying a good weekend at the box office, with an anticipated opening of $ 35 to $ 40 million. Singer, however, has remained on the offensive in recent weeks, especially after rumors have circulated that Squire plans to drop an article on allegations of sexual misconduct against him. He is also preparing his next moves, under discussion to lead an adaptation of Sonja Red for Millennium.
