Bill Murray has responded to the allegations from the set of Aziz Ansari's 'Being Mortal.'
Actor and comedian Bill Murray has come forth with comments in regards to his latest behavior on the set of Being Mortal. The film, which is directed by Aziz Ansari , started filming at the end of March. Just about two weeks ago, production came to a standstill in response to a complaint filed against Murray for "inappropriate behavior." Searchlight Pictures, the studio behind the film, is still investigating the issue.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn't taken that way. The company, the movie studio, wanted to do the right thing, so they wanted to check it all out, investigate it, and so they stopped the production. But as of now, we're talking and we're trying to make peace with each other. I think that's where the real issue is, between our peace. We're both professionals. We like each other's work.
Based on some of his other comments, it does sound like he has taken a step back to really analyze what he did and how that affected those around him: Here's hoping that Murray, Ansari, and Searchlight are able to come to a decision that will put forth the best for everyone involved, and create a supportive and safe environment on set. Being Mortal also stars Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer, and is scheduled to hit theatres next year.
