From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is The Business.

The film has gotten a lot further than they wished.

They tried to stop it. They couldn't.

They tried to stop it from getting nominated to the Oscar.

They couldn't. They tried to have me arrested and not work.

Six years ago, Lebanese director, Ziyadh-Dewari, broke the law and offended many in his country by shooting a movie in Israel.

That film was banned in Lebanon and throughout the Middle East.

Dueri's latest movie, The Insult, had nothing to do with Israel,

but he still has enemies who don't want his work to be seen.

Dewary tells us about his drive to continue making movies in the Middle East

and admits that the

horrible insult that sets off the drama in his new film was based on words it said in real

life. But first on the news banter, turns out Michelle Williams didn't get all the money in the

world for doing reshoots on Ridley Scott's latest film. Mark Wahlberg, on the other hand,

reporter from New York this week. Hello, Matt. Hi there. So the disparity in pay has been an issue that we heard discussed on the red carpet at the Gloves when people challenged E because Kat Sadler had quit over being paid less than her male counterparts.

But that has really blown up now with this disparity that emerged between Michelle Williams and Mark Wahlberg for reshoots on the Ridley Scott film All the Money in the World.

We had heard that Michelle Williams would get less than Mark Wahlberg, who is considered the bigger commercial star.

But when it has emerged that what he got was one and a half million dollars, she got very little like pocket change. Wow,

this is a bad time for that to be revealed because people are asking, how is it possible when

Michelle Williams has much the bigger role in this film about John Paul Getty and she plays the

mother of this young man who was kidnapped? How is it possible that she gets borderline nothing?
