Re: Friction on set - Actors that didn't get on!!
Found this on another site:
Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett
The legendary Harrison Ford didn’t take too kindly to whippersnapper Josh Hartnett on the set of ‘Hollywood Homicide’. Ford reportedly referred to Harnett as a "punk", with the young actor retaliating by calling the veteran “an old fart”. As a result the pair barely made eye contact during filming and continuously picked on each other at press junkets. The film flopped.
Megan Fox and Michael Bay
Megan Fox shot herself in the foot when she slammed ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ director Michael Bay for focusing on special effects and not acting (probably for the best as it starred Shia LaBeouf and, well, Megan Fox). Bay responded with; “That’s Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she’s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that”. He then didn’t cast her in the next ‘Transformers’ film. Whoops.
Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey
The two came to despise each other after a massive row on the set of ‘Red Dawn’. When Grey was informed that Swayze would play her on-screen romance in the iconic ‘Dirty Dancing’, she was so upset that she almost pulled out. Eventually though they had a deep heart-to-heart and made friends. Years later Grey broke down into tears on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ as she remembered her time with the late actor.
Bill Murray and Lucy Liu
Comedy actor Bill Murray couldn’t even raise a smile whilst filming ‘Charlie’s Angels’, as he took a serious dislike to Lucy Liu. It was rumored that Murray thought Liu had an out-of-control ego and he refused to make any appearances in support of the movie when it came out in 2000. He also turned down reprising the role in the sequel, ‘Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle’. In retrospect a good call.
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford
The granddaddy of Hollywood feuds - Bette Davis and Joan Crawford absolutely loathed one another. While filming ‘What Happened to Baby Jane?’, Davis actually kicked Crawford in the scene when she pushed her down the stairs. In return, when Bette had to drag Joan off her bed, Joan put on a weighted diver's belt underneath her costume, making her heavier to drag. Naturally, the duo also pitched in with some a-grade bitching. Discussing Davis' hair, Crawford said: “I don't understand these Poodle cuts on elderly women”. Davis retorted by saying Crawford was “single handedly responsible for the syphilis outbreak in America.” Meow.
Sir Anthony Hopkins and Shirley MacLaine
Anthony Hopkins thought the boisterous Shirley MacLaine was overbearing and was constantly annoyed with her while filming ‘A Change of Seasons’ in 1980. When asked what she was like, he fumed “she was the most obnoxious actress I have ever worked with." Don’t sugarcoat it Ant!
Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes
Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes didn’t exactly see eye to eye by the time ‘Romeo & Juliet’ finished filming. Danes grew tired of DiCaprio's onset pranks, branding him "immature", whilst he found her uptight and prudish. Not exactly star-crossed lovers.
Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren
Sophia Loren was cool and seductive while Marlon Brando was edgy and angry. Inevitably, when the two came together during the shooting of ‘A Countess from Hong Kong’ in 1966, the fur began to fly. A feud broke out after he asked her, right in the middle of shooting a love scene: "did you know you have hairs up your nostrils?" Smooth.
Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore
This feud during filming of ‘Red Planet’ began when Kilmer got annoyed over a fancy exercise machine Sizemore demanded the production ship from England to the set in Australia. Eventually the two hated each other so much Kilmer would reportedly not come out of his trailer if Tom was on the set. Many of their scenes together were even filmed over shoulders of photo doubles, if we are to believe some reports. Also, Kilmer reportedly refused to say Sizemore's character's name, substituting it for things like "Hey, you!".

May have been a sound person. The film was definitely Terminator Salvation though.
On Blade Runner, Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford didn't really click apparently. Well, I actually understand that Ridley irked quite a few of the crew - there was a T-shirt war of some sort with the factions communicating by slogan. I believe that Ford's relationship with Sean Young was not pleasant either. Can't remember sources though - may have been Future Noir book or Final Cut documentaries.

I have heard this one as well. I think it stemmed from Ford simply not believing that Young was up to the role and made his feelings clear to Ridley Scott who basically told him to keep his nose out of it. Could be my memory playing tricks though.
On a seperate note, I have a rant about a very famous actor. Not worth a thread on its own, but I'm sure my old mate Truss won't mind me hijacking his for a moment.
Two years ago I was on a work trip to America and I was flying back the UK via O'Hare airport in Chicago. It was an overnight flight and I was fortunate enough to be traveling back Business Class. I popped into the BT Business lounge when I had checked in, just to get some food from the buffet. Once I had eaten, I left the lounge as I absolutely hate those places. They are generally full of pompous idiots speaking into their phones about great they are. I think most of them are actually on the line to the talking clock, but there you go. I went out to the main departure lounge to sit with the normal people and who should be out there? None other than *Hugh Jackman.
Now, he wasn't just out there to be with the proletariat, he obviously had another agenda. He was standing in the middle of the departure lounge talking obnoxiously loud into his mobile telling someone, who I assume was his manager, that he "didn't give a f*ck what they thought, I am doing it on my terms, not theirs". That was just a small sample of the stuff he was bellowing into his phone for the benefit of the other 200 or so other people around him. Let me assure you, he wasn't traveling business or cattle class either, he was in 1st. There was no need for him to be in the main lounge and even less reason to shout and scream into his phone so everyone could listen to him. To top it all off, he was wearing sunglasses. Inside. At night. In the middle of November. T*at.
So remember that next time you see a Hugh Jackman film. He is a colossal helmet who doesn't deserve your time. He doesn't get my time or money, as I have self-imposed a ban on watching any of his films from now on. That's how childish I am.
What really tipped me over the edge was Mrs Windows went to watch Les Mis t'other night and when I reminded her of Jackman's assholeness, she said he about the best looking actor around at the moment. It hurt me deeply, I won't lie.
*before Adam throws his knickers at me, I am as sure as I can be that it was Hugh Jackman, without actually outright asking him. Remember, he did have shades on (inside, what a knob) so there is about a 0.1% chance I could be wrong. I hope that will that do for a Disclaimer.

But he has cast her as April O'Neil in "Ninja Turtles", his take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So they've got over it.
Apparently Kate Winslet didn't get on with James Cameron who was quite demanding on set.

Re: Friction on set - Actors that didn't get on!!
Apparently, it was loathe at first sight for Peter Sellers and Orson Welles when shooting Casino Royale (1966). A number of causes have been attributed including Welles' insistence on putting in pointless and unconvincing magic tricks, or it may have been Princess Margaret blowing past old acquaintance Sellars to meet Welles when she visited the set. The upshot was that after that one shot of the two of them across the table from one another they never were again on the set the same day.

The woman who played Will Smiths Aunte in the fresh prince of bel air HATES him to this day. She declined to turn up for the reunion last year and cited Will as the reason.
On set she did not like that Smith was this young big headed rapper turned actor who she deemed not worthy of the role.

The most famous case I can recall was actually exposed this year thanks to the diary of the great Alex Guiness who did not much like the equelly great Lawreance Olivier.
