Cursed Is Cursed...is cursed is cursed is cursed...

Ugh. Being so excited for this movie has been one big UGH! The project was announced in the summer of 2002. It would begin filmming in the spring of 2003, and be released in late 2003. Then, production got bumped back to summer 2003, and the release date was scheduled for February 13, 2004. THEN...all sorts of chaos: Disagreements on the set between the FX team and the creators. Filming shuts down for nearly 2 months because the producers aren't happy with the film being made. MASSIVE rewrites ensue. Filming picks up leaving cast members wondering if they would make the final cut. More cast members were added to replace them. Christina Ricci, while promoting Monster in January 2004, states that only about 10% of the original film will make the final cut and many actors were very pissed off. Release date is now rescheduled for October 1, 2004. Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville) states that things are going smoothly and Wes Craven is very happy with everything. Judy Greer confirms while promoting 13 Going on 30 that the new film will play more like a gothic fairy tale then a typical werewolf film. (Sounds good.) Mandy Moore while promoting Saved! reveals has no clue to whether or not she is in the film but says she had a good time and Wes was a lot of fun. Greer confirms 3 months later while promoting The Village that filming is complete, but they have enough for almost 3 movies. Massive post-production work leads the release date to be bumped to February 25, 2005. This brings us up to date, as now a fan forum is up again to get buzz going for a movie with a far too appropriate title. What seems to have been my most anticipated movie for the past 2 years will no go on another year's list. I have faith that Wes can pull this off.
