![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Due to the re-shoots many cast members were cut entirely, including Skeet Ulrich who was originally playing one of the main roles but after finding out how his character was gonna be changed he quit from the film, Mandy Moore, Omar Epps, Illeana Douglas, Heather Langenkamp, Scott Foley, Robert Forster, James Brolin and Corey Feldman. Although during the filming of the original version he said to Wes Craven that he was happy with the film, infamous producer Bob Weinstein later changed his opinion and ordered for the movie to be almost completely re-shot and for new plot to be included. But only about 90% of original intended version was filmed, only thing that wasn't was the original scripted ending. Original script was 150 pages long and after reading it, it's obvious that this was meant to be much better movie. Originally, Cursed was almost completely different movie with different plot, actors and even the special effects. There are few deleted and alternate scenes included on DVD/Blu-Ray of the film but they are not everything that was cut out. Still though, as a huge fan of the film i would like to see the full original cut. Even director and screenwriter admitted that they hated explaining "David's" character and his background because they always wanted to leave much of the information about him ambiguous, which is why they were glad that those scenes were disliked by the test screening audience and had to be cut out of the film. These scenes were cut because the test audience felt that all of it was just too much information. Some of the scenes which were cut down or deleted completely after test screenings were scenes which explained what exactly main character "David" is, what happened to him, why he does some of the things he does in the film, and more details and information about the KPG program that he was involved in. After another test screening, the audience was confused at the sudden arrival of Major Richard Carver and his team at the Peterson home, which is why some scenes with Carver at KPG headquarters were added in final cut of the film. After this version was screened to a test audience, it was cut down to the running time very close to the runtime of the theatrical cut. Original rough cut was over twenty minutes longer than the final theatrical cut. ![]()
