A supporting actor in the upcoming “Madden” film was said to put two weeks in production on Friday-Slechts the use of the N-word and full frontal nudity … but sources close to Amazon Studios tell us that the allegations are being distorted.
Here is the deal … TMZ spoke with five members of the cast and crew for the coming film in the lead role Nicolas Cage If the NFL legend, and Christian Bale As owner of Raiders To Davis … and they have independently leveled some serious claims about the director of the film, David O. Russell.
Crew and Cast members told us that Russell worked together on Friday with the nameless actor on a spontaneous monologue when the director reportedly said the n-word … and that the actor, together with others, allegedly walked before they broke for lunch and then wrapping for the day.
Studio sources tell TMZ … It was actually the idea of the actor to include the N word in the scene after a private creative conversation with the director … but in the end the word was not used when they shots the scene. The sources are sturdy – David did not say the word while photographing the scene – but refused to speculate what the actor and others upset at the moment.
We are also told by the cast and crew sources that a day earlier, the same actor made it clear that he did not want to be naked in a scene – a dressing room environment – who reportedly made David angry, and his reaction was “unprofessional”.
The studio sources, however, say that an intimacy coordinator tried to make the actor more comfortable and presented another block, but the actor still had a problem when David, calm, said he didn’t have to be in the shot. The studio emphasized that nakedness had not arisen on anyone- everyone knew well in advance those parts would be shown.
Studio -sources also noted that the door for the actor to return to production is not closed … and “conversations” are underway.
A “madden” person said that the production of us had been a “mess” with conflicts, such as the aforementioned allegations … and tensions were exacerbated by Nic and Christian, both of whom are real method actors -representing their characters with an intensity that does not end when the cameras stop rolling.
Studio -Sources told us … Both actors who are Oscar winners were fully committed to their role and improvisations were welcome -but nothing inappropriate with both actors took place between Takes.
