Cursed starring Christina Ricci.

[KenK]

can you writte more details? because it makes no sense that they would spend soooo much more money to recast,re-shot soe much.

A few tidbits from IMDB's trivia page:

• Mandy Moore was originally cast as Jenny and even filmed her scenes, but was replaced by Mya when the production was halted so the script could be rewritten.
  
  
• When the production was stalled, many cast members were cut, including Illeana Douglas, 'Heather Langenkamp' , Scott Foley, Omar Epps, Robert Forster and Corey Feldman. All of these actors even filmed their scenes which were cut when the movie was re-written and re-shot.
  
  
• Skeet Ulrich originally had a role as the third lead, Christina Ricci's love interest, however when the film was re-scripted and preparing to re-shoot, he was unsatisfied with his characters changes and chose to drop out of the film. His character was then written out altogether.
  
  
• The original plot line had three strangers brought together by a car accident in the Hollywood Hills and the subsequent attack of a werewolf. The three characters were named Ellie Hudson (Christina Ricci), Vince Winston (Skeet Ulrich) and Jimmy Myers (Jesse Eisenberg). When the script was re-written, the plot changed and focused on two estranged siblings who had to fight a curse after a werewolf attack. Skeet Ulrich's character was totally re-written and renamed Jake. Since Ellie and Jimmy became brother and sister, Ellie's surname was deleted and became Myers.

Not to say the movie would have automatically been better, but rarely do films turn out good when they end up having to be so drastically overhauled; Alien 3, The Exorcist Prequel, Payback (although I personally happen to enjoy the theatrical version)., etc. What's originally intended is often what's more preferred. Furthermore, Rick Baker was originally supposed to do the werewolf effects for Cursed.

This was one of the dumbest, most horribly written movies ever.

 

[The Lizard]

There have been a lot of crappy werewolf movies, but this was one of the WORST. Totally lame and uber-sucky.

Ricci is a cutie however.

 

[ShaneHelms]

This movie sucked.

God what happened to Wes Craven?

Nightmare on Elm Street

New Nightmare

Scream.

After that i tuned out from his work.

I loved the scream trilogy. Some big leaps at the end in pt 3, but was still satisfying and tied up some ends.

Cursed could have been SO good but it wasn't. Had some good moments but a lot of bad ones.
