In an emotional interview, the director mourns cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, unpacks his complicated relationship with Alec Baldwin, and discusses his reluctant return to finish the movie. Audiences will never see the scene that led to the horrific accident: “It vanishes in its entirety.
“When I tell someone it ruined me, I don’t mean in the sense that people might generally think,” Souza tells Vanity Fair in his first-ever interview about the incident. “I don’t mean that it put my career in ruins. I mean, internally, the person I was just went away. That stopped.” The 51-year-old adds, “It’s not like I was in love with the guy I was before, anyway. You look in the mirror the day after that happens, and now there’s somebody else there.
Like, “Why doesn’t my character stand there?” I was trying to explain, “Please, just today, of all days, just do what I’m telling you.” So the disagreement was between you and Alec, not you and Halyna? Yeah, me and Alec. Again, this was just a little piece and we were going to have another little piece after that. Halyna had an idea for it, angle-wise, and I’m like, “Well, audition it for me. Let’s take a look.” So they start setting all that up.
