The Celebrity That Joss Whedon Believes Brought about The Buffy Film To ‘Fall Aside’

The interview with IGN isn’t the one example of Whedon popping off about Sutherland. All over a dialog with The A.V. Membership in 2001, Whedon took issues a step additional and known as the Emmy Award winner a “prick.” Learn his rant beneath:

“He was just a prick […] He would rewrite all his dialogue, and the director would let him. He can’t write — he’s not a writer — so the dialogue would not make sense. And he had a very bad attitude. He was incredibly rude to the director, he was rude to everyone around him, he was just a real pain. And to see him destroying my stuff … Some people didn’t notice. Some people liked him in the movie. Because he’s Donald Sutherland. He’s a great actor. He can read the phone book, and I’m interested. But the thing is, he acts well enough that you didn’t notice, with his little rewrites, and his little ideas about what his character should do, that he was actually destroying the movie […]”

Concentrate, I’m an unapologetic lover of the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” film, and it speaks a quantity extra to my sensibilities than the line ever did (in spite of loving the line), and given what we now find out about Whedon’s controlling habits on his personal units, it’s dehydrated to not view his feedback as not anything greater than a tantrum from an artistic who felt threatened through somebody bold to query his self-believed “brilliance.” Was once Donald Sutherland in truth a prick, or is Whedon a person incapable of taking positive complaint or trusting an actor’s instincts? I don’t have a solution for that, as a result of I wasn’t there, however I know that nobody else who has ever labored with Donald Sutherland has made a sequel venture and incorporated ingenious alternatives that retconned his seeing in order that lovers may just benefit from the component once more.
