Overview

• Director Thomas Bidegain clarifies that Jake Gyllenhaal's alleged erratic behavior on the set of 'Suddenly' stemmed from creative differences, not unprofessional conduct.
• Bidegain initially accused Gyllenhaal of demanding multiple script rewrites and exhibiting bizarre behavior, but now emphasizes the conflict was over divergent visions for the film.
• The project, which also involved actress Vanessa Kirby, fell apart during pre-production due to these differences, leading Bidegain to eventually make the movie with French actors.
• Bidegain's experience highlights the challenges of collaboration between French and American filmmaking styles, marking his first attempt at an English-language feature.
• Despite the pre-production issues, both Bidegain and Gyllenhaal continue to pursue their respective projects, with Gyllenhaal starring in the upcoming 'Road House' and hinting at a directorial debut.
