There have been much less directing issues and extra writing issues. There have been some issues that I had missed,” Charlie stated. “So I used to be in a position to decide Guillermo’s mind on a number of events, and once I was within the technique of promoting the film, I had one final dialog with Guillermo about my doubts [regarding] the place the story was going. And Guillermo satisfied me to simply take a beat. ‘It doesn’t matter how lengthy it takes the film to get out. Rewrite it. Wager on your self.’ So I wrote 27 new pages. And I can’t consider Guillermo did this; I can not thank him sufficient. I’d ship him pages, and he would ship them again along with his notes. And he’s a busy man. He’s out selling his film now, and I believe he was simply ending Nightmare Alley on the time. However he actually helped information me, and he gave me the arrogance to simply go forward and do that reshoot.”
