We had our difficulties.
It was a battle.

[Smiths wife] Jada [Pinkett Smith] was a big help.
She kind of seconded some of my instincts.
There was a time during prep when I was pushing back.
A lot of crazy shit that was happening.
Because I knew they were right on the edge of firing me before we even began shooting.
And to Wills credit, we didnt go with that draft.
I dont think I was ever in anyones favor.
There were some debates but there were things that turned out really funny.
You keep all the really fun stuff you have a good movie, but it was a wild ride.
