Seems like everytime some new tidbits about CURSED make their way onto the net I just have to shake my head and sigh a little more. It could have been such a promising project, but now it’s looking like what we’ll get may be more akin to a TV movie of the week (on the WB no less), than a legitimate werewolf treat.
SciFi.com caught an interview with Shannon Elizabeth in which she talks about having to shoot the same scenes twice, months apart, after key cast members were recast (in what appears to be a fear of not having enough Dawson’s Creek alums in the movie).
“I shot both times. [It was] like nothing I’ve experienced before. I wish I had all the footage from the first time I shot, because we did some really cool stuff, and I’ll never get to see it now. So sad! They had to recast the person who was basically my love interest, so everything I shot had to be redone and rewritten.”
“I honestly don’t know who all is in the second one, much less the first. Like, … I keep hearing names going, ‘Really? I didn’t know they were in it.’ Because I don’t know who all got recast.”
Seems like CURSED is not only determined to live up to its name, but it’s also trying its level best to fight the snowball in hell battle when it comes to quality and/or watchability. Even the plethora of A+ eye-candy in the project doesn’t look likely to save it from a ignominious death.
