#CurryBarker on how he turned down $2 million when pressured to make Bear into the good guy in #Obsession:⁠
⁠
"When we were shopping this around, there were companies that told me they would give me $2 million if I just rewrote the script to make Bear a hero...The movie would have been so boring...So I turned down more money to tell the story that I was more interested in telling."⁠
