Willis has been notorious for having creative differences with directors. Antoine Fuqua, of training day, had all sorts of arguments on Tears of the Sun.

So will Smith go to war over this title? Because that worked so well for Zack and Miri. He managed to cripple his best work in a decade.

The Smith "say-my-lines" is an interesting angle, except he didn't write the script so I wonder how hung up on the delivery of the dialogue he got.

The Smith, say-my-lines dictum is a good point, but i also bet there's the, "you're really gonna shoot the scene that way?" second-guessing by Willis who probably knows how to direct action much better than Smith at this point having lived half his life on these kinds of sets.

This might be the first time Smith has ever worked with a dolly or camera that is moving faster than a snail with a tack through its back.

Hahahaha. I love when these aging stars get to the point where they don't car how they're portrayed anymore. It's like we finally get to see who they really are.

That being said, Smith is notoriously strict on how you're supposed to say his lines. For the majority of his career, he's directed actors who respect this coda. I can totally see Smith wanting to do things his own way.

I'm pretty sure Smith rewrote this but whatever draft I reviewed on my site was soooooooo bland. http://scriptshadow.blogspot.com/2009/04/couple-of-dicks.html

And I'm reasonably certain that Tracy Morgan has the IQ equivalent of Forrest Gump.
