When the movie was almost finished, some scenes had to be hastily reshot because the starring actor had to be replaced. Michelle Williams, like some other actors, was willing to act in the reshoots for free, but they were still paid.

Michelle Williams was paid less than $1,000, while her colleagues, like Mark Wahlberg, received $1.5 million. It all ended with a scandal because people couldn’t understand why the talented actress who was a multiple award-winner and the movie’s main heroine could get such laughable compensation.
