Judy Greer Shares Fun Wes Craven Story From Cursed Set
Judy Greer recalls Wes Craven's desire to create a fun environment on the Cursed set by passing out crosswords to everyone every morning. The 2005 horror comedy revolved around siblings Jimmy and Ellie Myers whose lives are upended when they are attacked by a werewolf in Los Angeles. The two must work together to find a way to stop their evolving werewolf abilities by finding the beast who attacked them and killing it.
Christina Ricci and Jesse Eisenberg led the cast of Cursed as Ellie and Jimmy alongside Joshua Jackson, Judy Greer, Milo Ventimiglia, Kristina Anapau, Portia de Rossi, Shannon Elizabeth, Michael Rosenbaum and Eric Ladin. The film was set to serve as a reunion between Craven and Scream writer Kevin Williamson as well as studio Miramax Films, though it would ultimately suffer in development from Bob and Harvey Weinstein's frequent interferences. Finally hitting theaters in 2005 after two years of production troubles, Cursed premiered to critics and audiences lambasting the film for its predictable story and poor visual effects and was a box office bomb, grossing just shy of $30 million against its $75 million budget.
