In the months preceding the opening of this movie, controversy arose concerning the little time that writer, producer, and director Wes Anderson actually spent on-set, choosing to direct the animation via e-mail from his apartment in Paris. In an October 2009 Los Angeles Times article, cinematographer Tristan Oliver was quoted as saying, "I think he's a little O.C.D. Contact with people disturbs him. This way, he can spend an entire day locked inside an empty room with a computer. He's a bit like Il mago di Oz (1939). Behind the curtain." Informed of Oliver's discontent, Anderson said, "I would say that kind of crosses the line for what's appropriate for the director of photography to say behind the director's back while he's working on the movie. So, I don't even want to respond to it." On the Wes Anderson fan website "The Rushmore Academy" (named after Anderson's Rushmore (1998),) Oliver criticized the article's tone, stating that it made him out to be a villain: "Yes, working with Wes can be frustrating, but that is true of any director, and I've worked with a hundred who were more irritating and less motivated than Wes. So let's just lay to rest the ghost of this particular myth and oh, it would be nice if the death threats stopped too. Thanks."
