Director Michael Bay has hit back at Bruce Willis after the actor wrote an internet blog vowing never to work with him again. The pair fell out on the set of Armageddon, prompting Willis to recently write, “Few people will work with Bay now, and I know I will never work with him again. A screaming director does not make for a pleasant set experience.”
But Transformers film-maker Bay claims’ Willis rant is just a publicity stunt for his latest film Live Free Or Die Hard. He says, “If you look, he posted at 3:30 in the morning.; Does anything good happen at 3:30 in the morning? I think we have movies that were supposed to open on the same date and I think he thought, ‘Maybe I’ll get some fans if I do that.’
“Bruce wrote, ‘If Michael Bay would have done [Live Free Or Die Hard], it would have sucked.’ It would’ve sucked HARD! I have mixed feelings about this fight. I think the Director should get respect from the actors, but if he rules his set like a tyrant, then he doesn’t deserve the respect. Also his movies tend to be over-the-top corny/cheesy, like he’s a big joke (but he doesn’t get it). So I am officially siding with Mr. Willis.
