Overview
- Olivia Munn told The Drew Barrymore Show that a former co-star shut down production for about 45 minutes after realizing a scripted scene had her character save his during a bunker shootout.
- She said the actor objected loudly in front of the crew and argued with the director, repeating that “she can’t save me.”
- Munn proposed reframing the beat as a simple position switch so she took “her guy,” and filming resumed even though the action stayed the same.
- She did not name the actor or the project, and outlets reporting the interview have not noted any public response from others involved.
- Munn linked the story to broader power dynamics on sets, recalling a past claim that a visiting director on HBO’s The Newsroom tried to harm her chances on another film by calling her “combative.”
