There were certainly tumultuous incidents during the production of 'Sorcerer' – it was during this time, Friedkin got the nickname 'Hurricane Billy' – but the rumors of a falling out with the late Roy Scheider are just that, rumors, an urban myth has developed that Scheider didn't like Friedkin cutting a subplot from the movie that showed Scheider's character in a more sympathetic light, hence why the late actor wouldn't comment on his involvement on 'Sorcerer'… no such subplot ever existed, either in Walon Green's screenplay or shot during production, and thus is a bunk story. Let's hope that Billy Friedkin clears whatever legalities remain on 'Sorcerer' and we can get a beautifully remastered new digital print of this truly remarkable (almost) forgotten masterpiece on DVD and Blu Ray so everyone who wants to can see some REAL film-making of the kind Hollyweird used to excel at… before the studios were bought by conglomerates and decided to largely make live-action toy commercials and/or video games instead of proper movies.
