Roland Emmerich calls James Cameron ‘overbearing,’ thinks Mel Gibson is ‘a very angry guy deep down’

'Independence Day' director Roland Emmerich said he dropped out of making a 'Fantastic Voyage' because producer James Cameron is 'overbearing,' and also noted that he thinks 'The Patriot' star Mel Gibson 'is a very angry guy deep down.'

. Emmerich had nothing but praise for GIbson’s acting abilities, though he mused that some of his performative gifts may come from real-life struggles. “At one point, he had to kill some English soldier, and he kind of just didn’t — it didn’t quite work,” Emmerich recalled. “So I said, ‘Get me a bucket,’ I filled it up with water and blood, and said, ‘Okay, so hit it as many times as you can.’”

The bucket-punching strategy yielded tremendous results in Emmerich’s eyes. “It was like the best shot I ever did in the picture because all his emotion came out because I have the feeling he’s deep down a very angry guy,” he said of Gibson. “No, he is! Sorry to say that in public, but he is, and he has to sometimes release this anger.”Emmerich also recalled being intimidated to direct Gibson, who had recently won Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director for.

Mel Gibson calls Robert Downey Jr. 'generous and kind' for defending him when he was 'poster boy for canceled'to direct. “James Cameron is very overbearing,” Emmerich said. “To say the very, very … and so I at one point just gave up because it’s like, ‘Is it your movie or my movie?’ And that’s what happened.”Emmerich said he left the film in the “very beginning stages” of development because he didn’t enjoy collaborating with thefilmmaker.
