Some of the finest movie directors out there are known for pushing their actors and crewmembers hard. A movie set is a place with hundreds of moving parts, so rigidness is often crucial. However, there are certain filmmakers who have been accused of taking things too far.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all heard the stories of big name actors clashing with directors. However, there are some filmmakers who have caught flack from more than one actor, making it feel more like a recurring pattern than a one-off disagreement. So, here are five directors that actors hated working with.\n<\/p>\n

5. Paul Schrader<\/h2>\n

\"Directors<\/p>\n

By the time he directed his first movie in 1978, Paul Schrader<\/strong> was a renowned screenwriter known for scribing critically acclaimed films like Taxi Driver<\/strong> and Raging Bull<\/strong><\/a>. So, he had a lot of pull when it came to casting for his dark comedy film, Blue Collar<\/strong>. With Richard Pryor<\/strong> and Harvey Keitel<\/strong> at the forefront, it felt like a recipe for success. Although it is looked upon as a cult classic today, the filming process was beyond chaotic.<\/p>\n

Reportedly marked by drug-fuelled tensions and high animosity, Blue Collar was described as \u201ctrench warfare\u201d by observers. Pryor and Keitel reportedly did not see eye-to-eye, and neither of them got along with Schrader. On top of this, co-star Yaphet Kotto<\/strong> clashed with all three men. Years later, Schrader would butt heads with Lindsay Lohan<\/strong> on the set of The Canyons<\/strong> when she would refuse to show up on time.<\/p>\n

4. James Cameron<\/h2>\n

\"James<\/p>\n

James Cameron<\/strong><\/a> is a filmmaker known to run a tight ship (excuse the pun). Perhaps the tightest of ships he ran was on the set of Titanic<\/strong>. This was a mammoth movie with a mammoth budget, meaning tensions were high as the studio execs hovered over everyone. While most actors have great things to say about Cameron, he has admitted himself that he had a short temper in his younger years and had to rewire how he treated people<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following the massive success of the film, Kate Winslet<\/strong> described the filming of Titanic as an \u201cordeal\u201d and mentioned Cameron\u2019s intense temper. She noted how she was glad to be a part of the project but vowed to never do a movie of that length again. Prior to Titanic, Cameron had already become known as a challenging director to work with due to his frenetic, high-stress shooting. During the filming of The Abyss<\/strong>, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio<\/strong> famously shouted \u201cWe are not animals!\u201d and stormed off the set.<\/p>\n

3. Alfred Hitchcock<\/h2>\n
