On Gilbert Gottfried's podcast ("Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast!") in 2016, Bogdanovich describes how he and Gene Wilder didn't get along because Bogdanovich devoted most of his time and energy to Richard Pryor, due to his health issues. Though Bogdanovich claims the film had only been green-lit because he had got Pryor involved in the first place (the studio apparently did not want Wilder to star alone), he believes it was Wilder who successfully campaigned to have him replaced with another director. Gottfried himself was cast in the Bogdanovich version of "Another You", but he was dropped from the film when it was reshot.
