The crown gem in theDon’t Worry Darlingdrama was " Spitgate , " when surmisal that Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine during the premiere grew so strong that Chris ’s rep had to get involved .

Rumors about alleged affairs, feuds, etc. can bring a lot of attention to a film. Sometimes, however, the behind-the-scenes drama surrounding a movie overshadows the onscreen drama.

Here are 16 movies that are remembered more for their behind-the-scenes drama than the actual plot line:

1.It Ends With Us(2024), which is based on the novel by Colleen Hoover, is about a flower shop owner who navigates an abusive relationship and the generational cycle of domestic violence. However, rumors of analleged feudbetween lead actorBlake Livelyand director/costar Justin Baldoni have seemingly dominated discourse about the movie.

Fans havespeculatedthere may be a feud because Baldoni didn’t walk the premiere red carpet or do press alongside his castmates. However, he told a red carpet reporter that he wanted the premiere to celebrate women, not himself.

Sources alleged toThe Hollywood Reporterthat, during post-productions, the filmmakers disagreed, resulting in two different cuts. Multiple sources told the outlet that Lively had Shane Reid, who editedDeadpool & Wolverineas well as “I Bet You Think About Me” (theTaylor Swiftmusic video Lively directed), do a cut of the movie.

At the premiere, Baldoni shot down the idea of directing and starring in the sequel, tellingEntertainment Tonight, “I think there are better people for that one. I think Blake Lively’s ready to direct. That’s what I think.”

However, the film and its press tour have also garneredcriticismfor the way they approach the themes of domestic violence.

2.Don’t Worry Darling(2022) is about a housewife who discovers her seemingly perfect town isn’t quite what it seems, but chatter around the movie’s release seemed more focused on arumored feudbetween lead actor Florence Pugh and director Olivia Wilde, who was dating lead actor Harry Styles at the time.

In July 2022, a purported source alleged toPage Six, “I can tell you for a fact that Flo seeing Olivia and Harry all over each other on set did not go down well as Olivia was still with Jason [Sudeikis] when she first hooked up with Harry.”

Wilde and Pugh seemed to publicly disagree about discourse surrounding the film’s sex scenes.

Fans alsopointed outhow Pugh rarely posted about the film, and when Wilde made a post praising her, she didn’t publicly acknowledge it.

In August 2022, Wilde toldVarietyshe fired Shia LaBeouf, who was initially cast in Styles’s role, to “protect” the rest of her cast from his “combative energy.” However, hedeniedher version of events.

And the film’s premiere at the Venice Film Festival was also riddled with drama (some of it completely made up by viewers). The most notable moment was “Spitgate,” when fans speculated that Styles spit on costar Chris Pine, whose rep denied the “ridiculous story.”

3.Anyone But You(2023) is a looseMuch Ado About Nothingretelling with a lovers-to-enemies-back-to-lovers main couple who reunite during a wedding. Ahead of the movie’s release, fansspeculatedthat lead actors Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, who were both in relationships with other people at the time, were allegedly having an affair.

In August 2023, Sweeney toldVariety, “It’s a rom-com. That’s what people want! Glen and I don’t really care. We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much; he’s such a hard worker, and I’m a hard worker. We’re excited for the press tour, and I literally just left ADR with him. We talk all the time like, ‘That’s really funny.'”

However, in 2024, Powell revealed that playing into the rumors to promote the film had been Sweeney’s idea.

Russell’s angry outburst came back to haunt him when he received a career tribute award at the 2012 IFP Gotham Awards. Comedian and host Mike Birbiglia recited the director’s tirade as part of his opening monologue — but Russell took it in stride.

He toldVulture , " It ’s old news ! What are you go to do ? I take it in good fun . You have to laugh at your mistakes . "

In 2015, Tomlin told theHollywood Reporterthat they “made up in just a few hours, and then [they] had a second fracas.”

She continued , " By then , I was like stoic in my suffering . But we ’ve overcome it . It fool and it ’s get . I was doingThe Search[for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe ] business district every day when we were shooting . So I ’d have to leave at five and head downtown . So I was probably overextended . But it was n’t any heavy heap . "

5.Suicide Squad(2016) follows Harley Quinn and her fellow DC supervillains. However, a lot of conversation about the movie surrounded the antics of actorJared Leto, who played the Joker.

She said that it pop with Leto arranging for a   " henchman " to throw off a dead pig on the tabular array during rehearsals .

Leto gave Margot Robbie, who played Harley Quinn, a strange gift — a black rat in a box.

I end up scram him like a sweet slight playpen , a microscope slide , a hammock , and a ternion because I want to take him to set and take the air him around … But then our landlord at the place I was staying constitute out . "

Karen Fukuhara, who played Katana, was also an unfortunate recipient of the method actor’s gifts. She toldUSA Today, “He did give me some odd, interesting gifts — some sex toys and my first porn magazine.”

She said , " He was The Joker 24/7 . The first day he was on set , I go up to him and said , ' Hi , I ’m   Karen , skillful to encounter you .   I play Katana . ' And he say , ' He , he , he , he , he . Hi , pretty . ' It was the creepy and cool experience of my life . "

He proceed , " I ’m an artist at the end of the day . If I do something risky and you do n’t like it , essentially , you’re able to kiss my tooshie . "

The actors who played Mario and Luigi — Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo — did shots of scotch together between scenes.Reportedly, Leguizamo was drunk during a scene where he had to drive a van and braked too hard, which resulted in the sliding doors smashing Hoskins’s hand.

In 2007 , Hoskins told theGuardian , " The unsound affair I ever did?Super Mario Brothers . It was a fuckin ' nightmare . The whole experience was a nightmare . It had a husband - and - wife team take , whose high-handedness had been misguided for talent . After so many weeks their own agentive role told them to get off the set ! Fuckin ' incubus . Fuckin ' idiots . "

After principle photography wrapped, the directors wereshut outof additional filming and the editing room until Morton got the Director’s Guild of America union involved.

Aniston said , " It ’s lamentable , something amount to an end . It cracks you open , in a way — fissure you open up to feeling . When you seek to forefend the pain in the neck , it creates greater nuisance . I ’m a human being , cause a human experience in front of the world . I wish it were n’t in front of the world . I try out really arduous to rise above it . "

Addressing result he had with the gang , he said , " Much was related to the way I wanna film it . The way of life I wanna show the audiences , you see . And that was the quandary . You know , long story short , to be nice , some people have a different point of view , have ’s put this manner [ express joy ] .
