When the actor "ruins" the director's vision
American History X was a hit with critics and audiences alike when it was released in 1998. Ed Norton's performance was lauded as one of the best of the decade, and the movie rocketed into the IMDb Top 50, where it’s remained ever since.
But the film’s director, Tony Kaye, was utterly enraged and consumed by pain after he was denied the opportunity to complete the film to his satisfaction…
According to Kaye, Ed Norton hijacked the edit, leading to a series of destructive events that essentially ended the director's career in Hollywood.
This video tells the story of one of the craziest behind-the-scenes dramas in the history of Hollywood.
