Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film sparked significant backlash for casting Emma Stone as Allison Ng, a character of Chinese and Hawaiian descent. Crowe later apologized, calling it a 'misguided' attempt to honor multiracial identity.
Sony executives called this 'a misfire from a first-class director' in leaked emails. The actual quote was harsher.
