The previous news about Miami Vice production was of a shooting, and not really anything to hint that things were going badly on set, but the latest rumours are that employees are leaving the set, so much so that almost the entire crew has been replaced.
According to Cinematical:
According to Radar, crew members are jumping ship in droves. Or, as they put it, “Adding to the near-biblical woes that have beset Michael Mann’s film adaptation of Miami Vice comes a new chapter: Exodus.” Damn.
According to sources, 120 crew members have left since since filming began about six months ago. Most of them, though their official reasons for departure are usually “sick relatives” or “illness,” have been chased off by Mann’s “famously obsessive demands, ceaseless revisions, and 24/7 schedule.” Apparently at this point, people are departing on an almost daily basis – and, needless to say, almost the entire crew has been replaced since June.
Is it really that Mann has chased off his entire crew? Could he really be that difficult to work for? If this is all true, and he is the cause, is this something that should be willingly forgotten for the quality he produces, or is he in danger of dragging the production down with him? Or do we even care, just get on with the movie!
