Here's an interesting bit of news regarding another seemingly "cursed" movie, Exorcist: The Beginning. According to this news post, Morgan Creek is upset with the way the final cut has turned out, while rumors indicate that Morgan Creek never even read the script! Read on for details...
Paul over at Celluloid Shockers brought this to our attention. An article ran in The Independant Website talks about Morgan Creek and the troubles with Exorcist: The Beginning...
"Paul Schrader is being exorcised. Last week, he handed in his final cut of Exorcist IV: The Beginning, the $45m prequel to William Friedkin's 1973 horror masterpiece, and reaction from its makers Morgan Creek was apoplectic. According to a well-placed source, the studio chiefs waited in vain for the spinning heads and projectile vomiting they believed they had paid for. The trailers now running in US cinemas, comfortingly heavy on iconic scenes and Mike Oldfield music from Friedkin's money-spinner, would have to be pulled. What they were watching instead was some kind of post-colonial period-piece, a moody, intimate examination of faith. What they were watching, in fact, was the script they had paid for, which, rumour has it, they simply hadn't read."
