Tony Kaye: The Director Who Was Blackballed by Hollywood

Tony Kaye is the director of the critically-acclaimed film American History X, which is considered one of the greatest films of all time. However, Kaye was blackballed from Hollywood after he had disputes with the film studio (New Line Cinema) and its star Edward Norton during the post-production of the film.

Kaye had originally delivered his cut of the film on time and within budget, but New Line Cinema insisted on making changes to the film. Kaye was unhappy with these changes, and he eventually disowned the final cut of the film. He also unsuccessfully attempted to have his name removed from the credits.

The battle over artistic control of American History X all but destroyed Kaye's career. He has since directed a few other films, but none of them have been as successful as American History X.

In this video, we will explore the life and career of Tony Kaye, and we will discuss why he was blackballed by Hollywood. We will also talk about his manic episode, which occurred during the post-production of American History X.
