“Babylon A.D.” Director Mathieu Kassovitz Mad at FOX
Vin Diesel and Matieu Kassovitz | Babylon A.D.
The Vin Diesel sci-fi/action flick “Babylon A.D.” hits theaters on August 29 and of all people that should be happy about it, the director, isn’t. Matieu Kassovitz (Gothika) clearly didn’t have a very good time making the film.
As he candidly tells AMCTV:
“I’m very unhappy with the film. I never had a chance to do one scene the way it was written or the way I wanted it to be. The script wasn’t respected. Bad producers, bad partners, it was a terrible experience.
Kassovitz says Fox reps swarmed on the production after weather related setbacks and other budgetary concerns began to appear during production.
“Fox was sending lawyers who were only looking at all the commas and the dots,” he says. “They made everything difficult from A to Z.” Kassovitz’s breaking point was when the suits commandeered the editing room and pared the film down to a “confusing 93 minutes” from his original 108 minute cut. Star Vin Diesel chimed in on this count, asking “Am I even in the movie any more, or am I on the cutting room floor?”
