Why Bill Pullman was desperate to quit ‘While You Were Sleeping’: ‘It was painful’

Bill Pullman‘s turn in the 1995 hit rom-com “While You Were Sleeping” may have been iconic, but he was desperate to get out of it pre-production.The film’s producer, Jonathan Glickman, revealed that the “Casper” alum, 70, was not allowed to quit the movie — because he’d just abandoned a previous project.According to Glickman, the initial screenplay was a dumpster fire, having gone through many rounds of edits and even a screenwriter change.“We went to Chicago and we did a read-through, a table read of the script,” Glickman said on the “Hollywood Gold” podcast. “And the script was kind of a cut-and-paste of the stuff that the original guys had written and the new person had written.“And then Jon [Turteltaub, the director], I think, did sort of a polish to make it make sense,” he added.The former MGM executive recalled that the table read was “one of the worst” of all time.He continued: “It just tanked.

'The Blind Side' Couple Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy Spotted Amid Michael Oher Lawsuit Drama
Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy were seen strolling around their neighborhood in Florida over the weekend, marking the first time they've been seen in public since Michael Oher filled his high-profile lawsuit against his former adoptive parents.In photos obtained and published by The Daily Mail, the Tuohys were spotted taking a walk in the Santa Rosa Beach area of Florida.Leigh Anne wore a white t-shirt and a pink tennis skirt along with white sneakers, and a hot pink fanny pack, while rocking white earbuds.Meanwhile, Sean walked alongside her in dark blue shorts and a light blue t-shirt, as they strolled and chatted with a unknown third person.The outing comes almost a week after Michael Oher — the former NFL star who inspired the Oscar-nominated film — filed legal documents in Tennessee court requesting it terminate a conservatorship after alleging the Tuohys lied about adopting him and tricked him into making them his conservators shortly after he turned 18.Oher, whose story was first documented in Michael Lewis' 2006 bestselling book of the same name, claimed the Tuohys made millions off his name while he never received a dime, after the film — starring Sandra Bullock, Quinton Aaron, Jae Head, Tim McGraw, Lily Collins and Kathy Bates — earned more than $300 million at the box office. The book and film are centered around the Tuohy family taking in Oher and helping transform his life on and off the field.The Tuohys have since responded to the accusations, denying Oher's claims and calling them «insulting.»It's been reported that the Tuohy family received 2.5 percent of the film's profits — the film grossed approximately $309.2 million — but that's not accurate.

Everything 'The Blind Side' Changed About Michael Oher's Real-Life Story
The new lawsuit surrounding the real-life characters depicted in the 2009 film has caused many to take a closer look at the film itself.This week, former NFL star Michael Oher filed a lawsuit against the Tuohy family — depicted in the Oscar-winning film as kind-hearted Christians who take in Oher and set him on a path to football greatness — alleging that they tricked him into a conservatorship shortly after he turned 18.In his lawsuit, Oher — whose story was first documented in Michael Lewis' 2006 bestselling book, claims the Tuohy family made millions in royalties off his name after the film earned more than $300 million at the box office. He also claims that when he agreed to the conservatorship, he thought he was signing adoption papers.In a statement to ET, the Tuohys' family attorney, Marty Singer, claimed that Oher, prior to filing his petition in court, allegedly threatened the family that if they didn't fork over an eight-figure check, he would plant a negative story about them in the press.Furthermore, the Tuohys denied «tricking» Oher into a conservatorship, declaring that any claims that they went behind his back to score a lucrative movie deal are just not true.«The notion that a couple worth hundreds of millions of dollars would connive to withhold a few thousand dollars in profit participation payments from anyone — let alone from someone they loved as a son — defies belief,» Singer told ET in a lengthy statement.While the film promoted itself at the time of its release as «based on the extraordinary true story» of Oher and the Tuohys, it was clear even then that some key details had been changed.
