Director Brian Singer's mistake almost caused the "X-Men 2" cast to all quit the cast

The Hollywood Reporter reported on director Brian Singer's actions while filming the X-Men film series. According to reports, major actors including Hugh Jackman and Harley Berry have threatened to quit the superhero sequel "X-Men 2" due to stunt mistakes.

It is reported that "X-Men" producer Tom Desanto asked to stop filming after learning that Brian Singer was worried that someone on the set would be injured and incapacitated. People familiar with the matter told the media that Brian Singer continued filming in defiance of the situation. "In one scene, all the lead actors are injured except For Magneto. This scene should be filmed the next day. But there was no stunt coordinator present at the time. Brian Singer allegedly decided to continue filming using a clumsy stunt that caused Hugh Jackman to bleed profusely in front of the camera.

Ralph Winter, another producer of X-Men, stopped production because of this botched stunt action. 20th Century Fox appeared to be on Brian Singer's side, letting Tom Desanto leave the production department. The next day, the X-Men crew threatened to quit the film. The Hollywood Reporter reported: "This prompted the main actors, with the exception of Magneto and Raywen, to confront director Brian Singer in full X-Men costumes, threatening the director that if Tom Desanto left, they would leave." It was then that The Storm Woman famously said to the director, 'You can kiss my black ass.' This phrase was often reported in the years that followed, but never with a correct backstory. ”

Brian Singer eventually completed the production of X-Men 2. Earlier in the Hollywood Reporter report, X-Men executives admitted that Brian Singer was allowed to continue shooting in such behavior because he had been working this way throughout his career.

"It's a weird film industry," producer Lauren Schuler Donner said. "We respect creativity and talent and forgive those who are talented. Unconsciously, we may make them turn a blind eye to everything they do and push their work into the world. (This sentence means that Brian Singer's creativity and talent are much more important than the mistakes he made when filming)"

An executive who has worked on the X-Men series added anonymously, "Brian Singer did a terrible job in the film. We received him in the first film, so we can receive him in the second film. But Brian Singer is really talented. ”

But a representative of Brian Singer denied it, telling reporters that nothing like this had ever happened.
