Reply to comment by fossilnews in "Shrinking" is making me realize Hollywood fucked up by not putting Harrison Ford in more comedy roles. His dead pan comedic timing is impeccable and hilarious. by Bluest_waters

Ford and most of the crew had dysentery

Spielberg had a footlocker of Spaghetti Os he was living off of and didn't get sick. IIRC.

And he missed out on all that delicious North African cuisine as a result. I'd rather take my chances of getting dysentery.

I probably wouldn't risk it until after they wrapped. A sick director is a huge expense.

The smart move would be to travel as part of the advance team. If you're going to get sick, do so early on so you'll hopefully be over it and unlikely to have a recurrence once you move into production with everyone on site.

You are correct. People always screw up this story.
