Columbus pushed for more CGI in a pivotal 'Harry Potter' scene, but was told by executives that it didn't matter if it wasn't perfect - a mentality he vowed never to repeat as a producer.
Columbus and his production company Maiden Voyage have an 'never say no' policy, promising filmmakers like Robert Eggers they'll 'find a way to get it' no matter the ask, even if it means the 'death knell' for their company.
