Shrek Forever After's Director Faked An Illness To Go Work For David Lynch Instead - SlashFilmSlashFilm

Legendary filmmaker, David Lynch passed away recently (Rest In Peace 🙏) so I thought about sharing this behind the scenes fun fact. During production of Shrek Forever After, Mike Mitchell fell ill and took a week off. As it turns out he actually worked as on-set production assistant for David Lynch for the movie "Inland Empire".
