Oh no~ what a shame.

[deja_vu822]

hmmmm i wonder if it was a complaint made against bill murray (though i hope not)

[thereinventions]

I was thinking the same, except for the hope part. I'm indifferent. For now.

[escalena]

I hope it's not the case because if Murray in any way mistreated someone it means someone was mistreated.

[aleksie]

That's how I feel, too.

[unintentionalty]

Hmm. Also, it's probably not intentional but what a weird announcement -- it's like they want people to keep guessing.

[where_i_begin]

It wasn't an announcement, it was leaked to the media.

[anterrabre]

For them to completely suspend shooting means it had to be really, really serious. I wonder what happened?

[genbu_no_miko24]

Yeah for it to go from complaint, to investigations, to complete suspension implies that something big happened.

[vibeology_e]

Yep. I’m worried something horrible happened.

“Late last week, we were made aware of a complaint, and we immediately looked into it. After reviewing the circumstances, it has been decided that production cannot continue at this time.”

This sounds pretty serious especially if they are calling out to everyone that it is related to a complaint. They were halfway through production too

[ahkna]

I'd put money on Bill Murray. He's well known for being an asshole, on-set and off.
