Murray went on to say that he and the unnamed female colleague were in touch and “we’re trying to make peace with each other.” He continued, “I think that’s where the real issue is. He has had several public feuds with his colleagues, including producer Laura Ziskin, who worked with Murray on 1991’s What About Bob? and said that he broke her sunglasses and threatened to toss her into a lake during filming.

We like each other.” If they can’t resolve their issues, he said, “there’s no point in going further working together or making a movie as well.” However, he seemed hopeful that production would resume on the project, adding, “I think we’re going to make peace with it. They wanted to check it out and investigate it and so they stopped the production.” A week after it was reported, Murray confirmed that a complaint had been filed against him, implying that he had made a joke that was not received well on set.
