David O. Russell Hearts Being a Fucking Collaborator With Lily Tomlin During Huckabees
You'd think working on a film with pros like Lily Tomlin, Dustin Hoffman, Jason Schwartzman, Jude Law, and Naomi Watts would make for a totally chill and fun environment.
But according to these outtakes that were uploaded onto YouTube this weekend, director David O. Russel seemed to be having a very difficult time.
And even though we realize that many things can go on during the years that it takes to put together a movie, under what circumstances is it okay to call Lily Tomlin a cunt on a set?
After the jump Tomlin curses out the director and Hoffman drops some f-bombs of his own. Now this is what we want in our DVD extras, Hollywood.

This was actually when things came to a head. I saw the full outtakes at a comedy club a few months back. The outtakes that aren't included in this clip make it obvious that Lily was extremely difficult to work with and crotchety. I'm not saying it's okay to call her a "cunt" but this was definitely not out of the blue.

This is hilarious! Thanks for posting it. I would have suspected that it was faked but somehow seeing the crew scramble for the exits gives it credibility. It certainly explains why George Clooney punched David O. Russell out on the set of "Three Kings." The amazing thing is Lily Tomlin worked with him on "Flirting with Disaster" before this. She must really need the work.
