Mike

Long before they reunited for “Disclosure,” Michael Crichton directed Michael Douglas in “Coma.” Douglas, the Oscar-winning producer of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and Best Actor winner for “Wall Street,” took the costarring role in the 1978 medical thriller at a turning point in his career. In his memoir, “One Helluva Ride,” he remembers Michael wanting the opening scene, packed with the kind of medical dialogue that would later become a staple on “ER,” filmed in a single shot. Douglas says the experience taught him to arrive on set knowing “every word, every comma, cold.” Sixteen years later, the two reunited for “Disclosure,” which Michael produced from his bestselling novel. _ Michael Douglas in “Coma” (1978). #MichaelCrichton #Crichton #MichaelDouglas #Coma #Disclosure
