The annual Directors Guild Symposium with the five feature-nominated directors every year is always a treat. As moderator Jeremy Kagan digs into their process, gems are revealed. In this case, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and Morten Tyldum both admitted that they dramatically changed their film's endings. Tyldum admitted that the original "The Imitation Game" bookends were supposed to start with the police interrogation and end with Alan Turing having committed suicide, which simply didn't work, and he cut it out.
