Going with the run of rom-coms the podcast has been on I present, Accidental Love!
Originally directed by David O’ Russell of Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle fame, this movie was plagued with issues. I say originally directed because things got so bad with this movie, David O’Russell disowned it through the directors guild! According to Wikipedia, the production started in 2008 and the production was shut down 14 times and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The movie went through development hell to eventually be released in 2015 to a 136,936 dollar box office gross.
This movie has Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Biel, James Marsden, Tracy Morgan, and even Bill Hader and it didn’t even come up on anyone’s radar.
I would love for Paul and the gang to cover this because I think this movie has a bizarre story in the making of it and it would be great for them to speculate on what happened.
