While production was stalled, several cast members had to be replaced due to scheduling conflicts with other films. Some of them had even filmed scenes which were scrapped by director Wes Craven. In the film, Ellie works among the crew of The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn , with Kilborn making a cameo appearance and Scott Baio , as himself, being booked to appear on the show.

But by the time the film was released in February , Kilborn had left the show and had been replaced with Craig Ferguson. Although, while filming the original version, producer Bob Weinstein told Wes Craven he was happy with the film, he later changed his opinion and ordered for the movie to be reshot with a new plot.

After massive reshoots which included filming a new ending, Weinstein told Craven he didn't like the new ending, leading to another ending where Jake attacks Ellie and Jimmy in their home, despite some incoherence with the rest of the film. Rick Baker did the werewolf effects for the original version of the film, but once Bob Weinstein and Miramax ordered reshoots, all the scenes with Baker's effects were deleted and replaced by KNB. In the fall of , Dimension cut the film to a PG rating instead of the planned R rating.

It was a very difficult process. Then it was basically taken away from us and cut to PG and ruined. It was two years of very difficult work and almost days of shooting of various versions. Then at the very end, it was chopped up and the studio thought they could make more with a PG movie, and trashed it I thought it was completely disrespectful, and it hurt them too, and it was like they shot themselves in the foot with a shotgun. Jenny's death scene in the elevator was originally much gorier, her dead body shown with her belly ripped apart, but not even the R-rated DVD version included this scene.

And another film that I was about to shoot having the plug pulled — Pulse — so it was like, I did learn from the Cursed experience not to do something for money. They said, 'We know you want to do another film, we'll pay you double. But I ended up working two-and-a-half years for double my fee, but I could have done two-and-a-half movies, and done movies that were out there making money.

In general, I think it's not worth it and part of the reason my phone hasn't rung is that that story is pretty well known. In , costar Judy Greer spoke of the film in an interview: I don't understand it. I thought the script was fine. Honest to god, I didn't get the big deal. I don't know who kept making them fuck with it. Then we shot the movie for, like, seven years. I think they said we had four movies worth of footage. It was so fun, but so weird. I don't get it. I couldn't figure it out.
