"Inappropriate behavior". Searchlight suspended filming a film with Bill Murray for this unspecified charge against the actor.
"Being Mortal", produced by the studios behind Disney, was to be the directorial debut of Aziz Anzari, the Indian-born comedian who wrote and starred on the Netflix series "Master of None".
An investigation has been opened and it is not known whether Murray will be ousted from the cast as recently happened to 84-year-old Frank Langella, fired from the series "The Fall of the House of Usher" after allegations of sexual harassment on the set. .
Murray, 71, star of "Ghostbuster" and fetish actor of Wes Anderson, who has directed him in nine films since 1998, has already in the past been the protagonist of episodes that have made him a difficult presence on the set of films and television programs.
“At the end of last week - Searchlight said - we were informed of a complaint and we immediately investigated it. After studying the circumstances, it was decided that they could not continue production at this time. We are truly grateful to all of you for everything you have put into this project. Our hope is to resume production and we are working with Aziz and Youree to understand the time needed. Production will contact you to share details of the outage and we will let you know as soon as we have more information to share. "
