"Unfortunately, it was a tough shoot," director Alexander Witt tells Inverse. "I started with a DP that the producers wanted. And then after the first couple of days, I said, 'Look this is not going to work, it's not looking good. He doesn't know what he's doing.'"
"There were a lot of problems," Witt says, "especially because there was a relationship between [Milla Jovovich] and Anderson. But there was nothing we could have done differently."
Despite the downright savage criticism of the movie, Apocalypse would not be the end of the movie franchise. In fact, it would make more at the box office than the original, spawning four more sequels led by Jovovich.
Witt found himself torn between what the studio wanted, what was in Anderson's script, and his own impulses as a seasoned filmmaker.
