Actor Bill Murray has spoken publicly for the first time about the suspension of production on his new film Being Mortal following a complaint that was made against him.
US entertainment trade publication Deadline reports that in an interview with CNBC at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting of conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway in Omaha, Nebraska, Murray described the incident as a "difference of opinion with a woman I'm working with".
The 71-year-old did not provide details on the nature of the complaint or who else was involved.
"I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn't taken that way," he explained.
"The company, the movie studio, wanted to do the right thing, so they wanted to check it all out, investigate it, and so they stopped the production.

"But as of now, we're talking and we're trying to make peace with each other. I think that's where the real issue is, between our peace.
"We're both professionals. We like each other's work. We like each other, I think, and if you can't really get along and trust each other, there's no point in going further working together or making a movie as well."
Murray said it had been "quite an education for me".
"I've been doing not much else but thinking about it for the last week or two," he continued.
"And I feel like if I don't see that, you know, the world is different than it was when I was a little kid. You know, what I always thought was funny as a little kid isn't necessarily the same as what's funny now. Things change and the times change, so it's important for me to figure it out.
"And I think the most important thing is that it's best for the other person. I thought about it, and if it's not best for the other person, doesn't matter what happens for me.
"That gave me a great deal of comfort and relaxation because your brain doesn't operate well when you're in the unknown, when you're thinking like, 'How could I be so... How could I misperceive? How could I be so inaccurate and so insensitive' when you think you're being sensitive to some sensibility that you've had for a long time?
"So we're talking about it. We're... I think we're gonna make peace with it. I'm very optimistic about that."

Murray added that he is trying to learn from the experience.
"I think it's a sad dog that can't learn anymore," he said. "I really think that's a really sad puppy that can't learn anymore. I don't want to be that sad dog and I have no intention of it.
"I've... what would make me the happiest would be to, you know, put my boots on and for both of us to go back into work and be able to trust each other and work at the work that we've both spent a lot of time developing the skill of, and hopefully do something that's good for more than just the two of us, but for a whole crew of people, a whole crew of movie makers and the movie studio as well."
Being Mortal is scheduled to be actor and comedian Aziz Ansari's directorial debut and is based on Atul Gawande's nonfiction book Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End. Ansari also stars in the film.
When production was halted earlier this month, film studio Searchlight Pictures sent a letter to cast and crew, saying it had "immediately" investigated the complaint and decided that the production "cannot continue at this time".
No specific individuals were named in the letter and no further details of the complaint were given.
