Behind the scenes
A few things you might not know about the making of Another You.
The film was released five years after Pryor revealed that he had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and his physical deterioration is evident in this film.
ProductionPeter Bogdanovich was the original director, but was replaced after five weeks of shooting in New York.
ProductionAfter reviewing footage with the replacement director, it was determined that none of the New York footage was usable, and the script was rewritten to be shot entirely in Los Angeles.
ProductionAlso among Bogdanovich's unused, and presumably lost, footage was a cameo featuring Donald Trump.
