Caan hates cookies

Just when you thought this shit couldn’t get any better; check it out, it did. Apparently Caan left the shoot because of a cookie: “The trouble started Wednesday on the first of Caan’s two days of shooting the role of a U.S. speaker of the house who chokes to death on a cookie. Russell asked him to cough as he choked, but Caan argued that the character couldn’t cough and choke to death at the same time.

Russell suggested that they shoot it both ways, but the actor expressed distrust that his version would be considered and left the South Carolina set.”

Let’s put our cards on the table here, I’d rather be trapped in a room with a rabies-infested Velociraptor than with David O. Russell. Producer Douglas Wick said the discussion was “part of an ongoing creative conversation between the actor and director” and that Russell has behaved professionally throughout the shoot. Oh yeah, I’m sure he has. I’m pretty sure even a T-rex would mind its manners around Jessica Biel.
