Both the New York Times and Variety cited anonymous sources close to the film as confirming the authenticity of the recording.
In it, a man called Cruz is heard shouting, “If I see you do it again, you’re gone. And if anyone on this crew does it, it’s – and you too. And you, you never do it again.” – Don’t. “

“We want a gold standard. They make Hollywood Hollywood movies right now because of us. Because they believe in us and what we’re doing,” he said, according to Dio Tape.
