"Director Addresses Jake Gyllenhaal's On-Set Behavior Controversy"

Director Thomas Bidegain addresses claims about Jake Gyllenhaal's behavior during the pre-production of the scrapped film "Suddenly," citing differences in vision between French and American filmmaking. Gyllenhaal and Kirby were set to star in the survival film, but creative disagreements led to the project's cancellation. Bidegain later reworked the script and cast different actors for the French language version of the film, titled "Suddenly Alone." Despite the setback, Gyllenhaal is involved in other film projects, including an upcoming lead role in "Road House" and potential directorial debut.

"Director and Actor Clash Over Troubled Indie Film Production"

Director Thomas Bidegain denies claims that Jake Gyllenhaal's behavior ruined the film "Suddenly," clarifying that their parting was due to creative differences rather than unprofessional conduct. Bidegain explains that the project was still in pre-production when the split occurred and that the reported $26 million loss did not materialize. He details the clash of visions between himself, Gyllenhaal, and Kirby, leading to their departure from the project, which was eventually made with a French cast at a reduced budget. Bidegain attributes the split to the challenge of working with an actor who is also a producer and cites differing approaches to filmmaking in France and the U.S.
