One article I read (can't remember which one) said that their real conflict was with Kasdan, and Kennedy was backing him. I get the feeling Kathy hired these guys because they were a hot commodity and Kasdan either didn't get much say or wasn't too familiar with their work when it happened. So they were just never a good mix and once he saw their take on his material he wasn't happy, wanted them to work with another director on re-shoots, they refused, and Kennedy ultimately sided with Kasdan because of long-term loyalty. That's how I'm imagining this went down because I believe this is the first time Lord and Miller are working with a writer who has so much power over the final cut (as Kasdan's an EP on it too). Jonah Hill was a producer on Jump Street, but he's not a filmmaker and probably didn't throw his weight around like Kasdan would.
I could really rock a job reviewing crime books.
I don't think that's odd. Same generation and all that.
