Bill Murray Says McG Should Die

We all know that Bill Murray’s experience on the set of Charlie’s Angels was a miserable one. First, there was the reported incident on set where Murray openly blasted Lucy Liu in front of the cast and crew, saying “I don’t know what you’re doing here. You can’t act”, which lead to Liu physically attacking Murray to the point where they had to be pulled off each other. Then McG (the director of the movie) recently said that Murray actually headbutted him on set. No wonder Murray didn’t come back for the sequel.

Now, in an interview with the London Times, Murray not only denies McG’s allegations, he takes it one step further and says McG should be pierced with a lance… not just headbutted… and should DIE.

Damn Bill… tell us how you really feel.

After Terminator: Salvation, there are probably a lot of people who agree with Bill.

But here’s a question for you… do we like hearing about this stuff… or do we wish the people involved would just keep it quiet and between themselves?

Call me crazy, but Bill’s OTT behavior sounds a little like early onset dementia. Reminds me of my dear old grandpa. I’m just sayin’…

I’ve always hated hollywood infighting, but I love everything Bill Murray does, and I agree that McG should be pierced with a lance- so I don’t really have a problem with this.

Since the only film McG helmed that I really liked front to end was ‘We Are Marshall’ - and there were bits of last summer’s Salvation I did like.

That said there is a special place in the fires of Hell for the Charlies Angels films. I don’t know which of Dante’s Nine Circles would the films be placed exactly, but I’m sure there’s a reserved parking space somewhere.

It seems Murray’s comment is off the cuff, but also a response to a claim made by McG that he assaulted him. If the claims by McG are exaggerated, and it’s news to Bill, it digs up old wounds. I can understand that. However I wouldn’t cut Murray much slack here. Murray admits to having words with members of the cast, but denies the assault. That’s all he has to do and say about the matter. He can call McG a flat out liar if he wants. But wishing a horrible death for someone who you disagreed with years ago?

That’s uncool.

BTW, an int’l friend mentioned Christian Bale’s blowup on Terminator Salvation. It was between Bale and the cameraman, not Bale and McG. The issue had also been resolved before the film’s release.

I do enjoy reading these dishes, but I have to disagree with the “Bill’s earned it” comments. Just because you were successful up until the early 90s doesn’t give you the right to be a giant douche. Which is basically what Bill has reduced himself to over the course of the last decade with his off-screen behavior, similarly to Eddie Murphy (who was also funny once, some 20ish years ago).

Keep the spats private, or at least in within the circles of the industry. I haven’t enjoyed any of McG’s movies, but that doesn’t mean plenty of either people haven’t.

Bill was also awesome in Scrooged.
