Past allegations of David O. Russell’s on-set misconduct have resurfaced ahead of his new film “Amsterdam,” raising questions about why directors’ controversial behavior has historically been tolerated.
On the press tour for “Amsterdam,” Bale said that he would gladly continue working with Russell, long heralded as an actor’s director. While journalist Jonathan Alter referred in the leaked Sony emails to talk of Russell’s reformed character as “total bulls---,” the director’s subsequent high-profile projects suggest he has continued to receive support from a good number of powerful players in the industry.
Ambitious actors have always been drawn to collaborators whose established records of dynamic work can bolster the actors’ own profiles, according to Carman, who is also a professor of film and media studies at Chapman University. While creative power in the studio era was largely concentrated among moguls such as Louis B. Mayer or Jack Warner, it shifted when the notion of directors as brands emerged with the New Hollywood movement that kicked off in the 1960s.
“‘Are these conditions markedly worse than the ones I’ve experienced? … Is it worth it for me to do this for an Oscar nomination?’ For some people, it will be worth it,” Fortmueller said. “I think culturally there’s a lot of leeway given, especially to White male directors, in terms of what needs to happen in order to make great art.”Sometimes things go too far, even for A-list talent with more say than crew members.
