Washington [US], April 18 (ANI): Actor and filmmaker Emilio Estevez recalled his time with late director Joel Schumacher on the set of the 1985 coming-of-age film 'St. Elmo's Fire'.
He opened up about the beloved Brat Pack movie while on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, reported People.
He added that Schumacher "was a nightmare on set."
"No kidding. And [he] was a bully," Estevez continued. "I vowed never to speak to my actors that way."

Although his experience of working with Schumacher was not positive, he learned valuable lessons from the coming-of-age film, as per the outlet.
"If I ever got a chance to direct in 1984, I thought, this is the best lesson a young actor who wants to direct could ever get. Thank you, Joel," he said, seemingly referring to treating others with kindness, reported People.
Schumacher, whose credits included films such as 1995's Batman Forever and 1997's Batman & Robin, died in June 2020 at the age of 80.
