Great Movies That Overcame BTS Drama. The art of moviemaking is never easy, but some films struggle more than others to reach the big screen.

BIG BROTHER : Big Brother "is a reality game show franchise created by John de Mol. The premise of the show is a group of people living together in a large house. BBC comedy television series based on the radio series of the same name, in which celebrities are invited to discuss their pet hates and persuade the host to consign.

Most of the twentieth century's notable men of letters — i.e., writers of books, of essays, of reportage — seem also to have, literally, written a great deal of.

From disputes between directors and crew, to stars off their faces on whatever they can find, via injuries caused by effects gone awry, there’s a lot that can go wrong. That’s to say nothing of script issues, distribution questions, or budgetary constrains. Seriously — there’s a lot that can go wrong. Some movies let the stress get to them and end up as flops. Others power through their difficulties and somehow, miraculously, come out unscathed.

In fact, some of the greatest movies ever went through seriously chaotic productions, with no one involved expecting to get a finished film out of it, never mind a good one. Some more recent big hits have also narrowly survived serious drama, and we’re here to get these stories out there for all to hear. And so, here are fifteen films that seemed catastrophic on set but ended up amazing on screen…1.

Wonder Woman (2. 01. Before Wonder Woman hit theaters this June, the DC Extended Universe was in constant crisis. Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad had both been blasted for their tonal messes, the upcoming movies schedule seemed to be changing every week, and no one at Warner Brothers or DC seemed able to get on with each other. And for a while, it didn’t look like Wonder Woman would change that. The original director, Michelle Mc. Laren, walked out due to ‘creative differences’.

Parts of the film had to be reshot, despite star Gal Gadot being five months pregnant, which had to be covered up using visual effects and wardrobe trickery. And yet, the movie which replacement director Patty Jenkins shot was lightyears better than anyone had expected, bringing a new lease of life to the DC series by ditching the grim approach in favor of an uplifting, entertaining crowd- pleaser. Jaws (1. 97. 5)Steven Spielberg’s creature feature is now renowned as a brilliant thriller that began Hollywood’s obsession with the summer blockbuster, but no one on set realized it would be such a success. In fact, the production was thwarted at every turn by technical problems, mostly with the three mechanical shark models; all of them malfunctioned regularly due to not being suited to salt water, and the one full- sized model actually sank on its first day. Other problems included takes being ruined by other boats getting into the shot, and even a boat starting to sink with cast onboard.

Remarkably, though, it was these technical problems that made Jaws what it is. Unable to use the shark models as much as he wanted, Spielberg instead decided to subtly hint at the shark throughout most of the film, actually resulting in it being a much more threatening presence because we never really see it until the end. The Godfather (1.

Francis Ford Coppola is famous for pulling masterpieces out of complete chaos, and The Godfather was no exception. Even before cameras rolled, Italian American groups were threatening to boycott it for promoting stereotypes, while producer Al Ruddy had his car shot at by the real mafia, unhappy with how they were likely to be portrayed. Casting was tricky too; studio execs hated the idea of casting Marlon Brando, leading Coppola to fake a heart attack in order for them to relent. And then on set, Coppola was constantly at odds with both his crew, who reportedly had little respect for their boss, and those execs, who were on the verge of firing him. Watch The Battery Dailymotion there. Somehow, however, he pulled it all off, and The Godfather is now seen as one of the greatest movies of all time. More miraculously, the cast and crew agreed to return for the sequels!

Blade Runner (1. 98. Ridley Scott is another director known for his almost- disastrous productions, and sci- fi noir Blade Runner was a prime example. The American crew didn’t get on with the British director, leading Scott to comment to the press that he preferred the “Yes, guv’nor” attitude of British crews. His crew responded by showing up to work wearing T- shirts emblazoned with “Yes guv’nor, my ass”. Scott and some of his closer colleagues responded with T- shirts saying “xenophobia sucks”.

This tumultuous atmosphere reached the point where the studio was ready to fire Scott, but he finished the final scene just in time. Problems continued through post, though, with execs forcing a tacked- on happy ending and overly expositional voiceover, which Harrison Ford deliberately delivered in a dull tone in the hope it would be cut. The film was released with these awful additions, though later director’s cuts allowed Blade Runner to finally be appreciated as the masterpiece it is.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2. Disney’s revival of Star Wars launched to a good start with 2. The Force Awakens, but not long after, things behind the scenes of the first spin- off weren’t going so smoothly.

In summer 2. 01. 6, Rogue One underwent several weeks of reshoots; this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but the worrying bit was that these were shot by a new director, with Tony Gilroy being brought on to replace Gareth Edwards. There was also internal debate about the film’s ending, with Gilroy shooting a happier ending in which Jyn and Cassian survive, in order to please execs worried about the death toll. We don’t know exactly what changed everyone’s mind, but the more morbid ending was the one that made the final cut. Probably for the best, as that powerful ending is part of what made the film a great new instalment in the Star Wars franchise. The Blues Brothers (1.

In a real life mirror of Jake and Elwood Blues’ “mission from God”, production on The Blues Brothers was nothing short of anarchy – largely due to the drug- fuelled antics of star John Belushi. Belushi took everything he could get his hands on – which was a lot – not only in the evenings, but in his trailer and in a private bar he’d had built on set. After particularly bad nights, he’d show up either late or not at all the next day. At one point, he tried to attack director John Landis, who’d flushed his cocaine down the toilet. Plus, before the last day of shooting, Belushi fell off a skateboard and injured his knee, requiring LA’s top orthopedist to be rushed in and pump him full of anesthetics. Despite all this, Belushi got all his scenes shot, and the movie went on to become a cult favorite.

Lawrence of Arabia (1. Lawrence of Arabia was troubled from the start.

Producer Sam Spiegel initially announced an all- star cast, including Marlon Brando, Laurence Olivier, Kirk Douglas, and Cary Grant, but every one of them pulled out, leaving the production with a relative unknown, Peter O’Toole, in the lead. And on location, there were too many problems to count, from illnesses spreading among the crew to one cast member having a heart attack, and even disgruntled soldiers roped in as unpaid extras trying to shoot the director. Most notably, the production had to change location twice – shooting in Jordan got too costly, so they had to move to Spain, but then director David Lean couldn’t find the right locations for the final battle here, prompting another expensive move to Morocco. Remarkably, the epic struggle of the production led to a successful epic of a movie, now seen as a classic of cinema. Back to the Future (1. It may be one of your favorite movies today, but you can’t tell from watching Back to the Future what a hard time those involved had making it.

Though Michael J. Fox was the first choice to star, he was already committed to sitcom Family Ties, shooting at the same time. The crazy decision was made to cast him anyway — after Eric Stoltz’s performance in the lead role was found inadequate — and so Fox would film Family Ties every day, then Back to the Future through the evening until 2: 3.

AM. He couldn’t even catch up on sleep at weekends, as this was the only time he could film outdoor daytime scenes! Director Robert Zemeckis had a hard time too, describing the harsh filming schedule as “the film that would not wrap”. Watch Cyberstalker Online.
