The 71-year-old actor said that the shooting of the movie Being Mortal was closed due to “differences of opinion” during the shooting, but did not give more details about what happened. “I did something I thought was funny and it was not perceived that way,” he told CNBC during an interview at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholders’ meeting. “The film studio wanted to do the right thing, so they wanted to check everything, investigate it and so they stopped production.” Murray added that he had discussed it with the anonymous woman and was “trying to make peace”, but did not specify when or if production would resume. He said: “We are both professionals. We like each other’s work. We like each other I think and if you can not really communicate and trust each other, it does not make sense to continue working together or doing a movie too. “ The actor, best known for his roles in Ghostbusters and Caddyshack, further admitted that the changing nature of what is considered appropriate humor was a factor. He said: “It was quite an education for me. People are different than they were when I was little. “What I always thought was funny as a toddler is not necessarily the same as what is funny now. Things change and times change, so it’s important for me to understand that. “I think he is a sad dog who can no longer learn. I do not want to be this sad dog and I have no intention of doing so.” Searchlight Pictures confirmed that production was suspended but did not provide further information. Being Mortal will star Murray, Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer and Aziz Ansari – who also wrote, directed and produced the film. Production began in Los Angeles in March and the film was set to hit theaters next year. The film is based on surgeon and author Dr Atul Gawande’s 2014 fantasy book on end-of-life care, Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End.
