. Behind the curtain." Informed of Olivers discontent, Anderson said, "I would say that kind of crosses the line for whats appropriate for the director of photography to say behind the directors back while hes working on the movie. So I dont even want to respond to it." On the Wes Anderson fan website The Rushmore Academy (named after Andersons film
Rushmore
,) Oliver criticized the articles tone, stating that it made him out to be a villain: "Yes, working with Wes can be frustrating but that is true of any director and Ive worked with a hundred who were more irritating and less motivated than Wes. So lets just lay the ghost of this particular myth and oh, it would be nice if the death threats stopped too. Thanks."
