Wednesday 1st October 2003: Cursed Update:
Wes Craven’s Cursed will begin shooting again on November 17 after an
enforced break. Dimension and its parent company Miramax were not pleased
with the film's original ending or how the special effects were turning out,
which led to the film being put on hiatus. But the cameras should start
shooting again soon, once an actor to portray a new lead character in the
film has been found.

Monday 22nd September 2003: Cursed Update:
Samantha has been in touch to advise that Cursed is now being planned for a
February 2004 release date in the US.

Thursday 11th September 2003: Cursed Update:
Director Wes Craven has been talking about his troubled werewolf movie Cursed. Craven says that many of the film's scenes will have to be reshot, and possibly recast, when the film resumes production in November. He added that make-up guru Rick Baker has retired, turning over responsibility for the film's werewolf makeup to KNB. "I haven't seen that hit the news yet, but he shut down his studio. All of the elements have been taken over by KNB for us." Filming had been running for 11 weeks when Dimension Films stopped production in June and ordered a script rewrite. "Quite an extraordinary amount of new material is going to be shot, and a lot of material is going to be thrown away," said Craven.

Tuesday 5th August 2003: Cursed Update:
Director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson's Cursed has run into
unexpected problems. Due out early next year, the studio put the werewolf
movie on an extended hiatus last month with four weeks left on the shooting
schedule. The hiatus was reportedly planned and concerned the addition of
special effects because the filmmakers brought in more effects shots than
originally planned. Putting a film's shooting on hiatus is not an abnormal
thing for a studio to do, apparently. But top executives at Miramax were
said to be unhappy with the film's ending, as well as being none too
impressed at how the special effects were progressing, specifically the look
of the film's lead lupine. The project was then put back into a "development
phase," during which all parties could agree on the final outcome. However,
all the kinks have now been worked out and a September restart is being
eyed.

Friday 1st August 2003: Cursed Update:
Looks like the production of Cursed is having more problems with the word
that FX guru Rick Baker has pulled out of the project 3/4 of the way
through filming. It is though that KNB have jumped in to finish off the FX
work on the movie. Either way it's not a good sign that signs were going
smoothly on the project.

Thursday 3rd July 2003: Cursed Update:
Dark rumours are circulating of problems on the Cursed filming as they have apparently stopped production while a new ending is worked up.

Monday 16th June 2003: Cursed Update:
Mandy Moore has been talking about her recently completed role in Cursed "I really don't like horror movies in general but the cast alone was
enough to grab my attention. it is amazing to see all of the special
effects that go into this kind of production...lots of technical
elements are involved in the art of "screaming." hehe " Thanks to Samantha!

Monday 7th April 2003: Cursed Update:
Just received the following information from the filming of Cursed "along the pier they had numerous spot lights lit up, lined with all kinds of foods, drink and crew members. It was all blocked off near the roller coaster and farther down towards the sand... They had parts of the sand blocked off... there were two characters who stood on the pier and jumped off onto the sand below- each at separate times-, a wire was attached to the back and connected to a crane. They were dressed in black jeans and a leather jacket similar to that of the 50's style rebel look. Once they landed in the sand they would take the stance of like a zombie or warewolf, looking around for something. Then there was another scene where one of them was digging in the sand, they started around 7 pm and I left around 9:30 and they were still filming away. They took numerous takes of both characters" Thanks to Cathy!

Tuesday 20th January 2004: Cursed Update:
Scott Baio has been talking about the mick-taking he has been subject to filming Cursed "It's a werewolf movie with Christina Ricci, and it was a chance to work with some good people. But playing yourself is always fairly risky because you gotta watch how you goof on yourself. You guys can make fun of me all you want, but keep it to where it's not completely insulting. Whatever you want to change, let us know."

Tuesday 16th December 2003: Cursed Update:
Wes Craven has apparently scrapped the first cut of his werewolf movie Cursed and reshot the film almost from scratch. Eleven weeks after shooting finished, director Craven called the cast back to redo practically everything. Said star Christina Ricci: "It's sort of like going on to another movie. And this time it's a lot more fun. We have a lot more action and it seems better. I don't think he was happy with what he was originally getting." Ricci, who stars in the film with Shannon Elizabeth and Portia de Rossi, added: "If you scrap an entire movie and shoot it all over again, rewrite the script, then yes, it can be saved." It's not much consolation for Skeet Ulrich, however, who has been cut from the movie completely.

Wednesday 3rd December 2003: Cursed Update:
Michael Rosenbaum has been added to the cast of the soon to restart filming Cursed. Looks like the changes they have made to the movie have been quite major with the amount of recasting that has taken place recenlty. The movie is now being planned for an autumn release date.

Friday 6th December 2002: Cursed Update:
Word has reached us from FilmJerk of some of the plot details for Cursed "The lead character is a 16 year old named Jimmy, described as a likeable guy, but full of typical teen gawky awkwardness. He is smart, sensitive and trying to come into his own. The other leads in the film are Brooke, of the same age, who is the high school beauty, who become his love interest and Bo, a year older, who is Brooke's football jock boyfriend who makes trouble for Jimmy whenever their paths cross. He is further described as being quite the opposite of Jimmy and insensitive"

Wednesday 16th October 2002: Cursed Update:
Dimension Films have signed up Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson to direct and write a movie to be called Cursed. Chairman of Dimension Films Bob Wenstein had this to say "Kevin wrote a fun, scary and surprise filled script just like the original 'Scream.' The only person I thought of to direct it was Wes Craven,and I couldn't be more excited to team them up again for what I think is another crowd pleasing thrill ride. In the way they made scary movies fun, Kevin and Wes will reinvent the werewolf genre." Cursed already has a release date set of August 8th 2003 and will be set in Los Angelese and will be a modern hip twist on the werewold genre. Producing Cursed will be Kevin Williamson and Marianne Maddalena.
