Cursed Movie

So the talk on the set of “Armageddon of the Kippered Beef Steak” is that the movie is in fact cursed. The script has been floating around for a couple of years, and this is the third attempt at shooting it. All other attempts have failed for varies reasons, like actors quitting, someone getting injured, equipment failure and the like. I am in fact the third person to play my character Art von Domme. Our current attempt has been filled with plenty of mishaps and the curse desperately seems to be trying to assert itself. The first night we shot the sound equipment was acting up. After hours of messing with it we shot some footage only to find later that it was unusable. Then the next time we tried to shoot the costume for the navy ensign went mysteriously missing, and we could only do a few cut away shots and close-ups to save the night. Also the lead of the movie had to drop out because of other conflicts which meant that the whole thing was postponed till we found a replacement. Tonight the our new navy ensign (the third person to be recast so far) could not make it because he was grounded or something. He is the youngest in the cast and still lives at home and is still subject to his parent’s wrath. However, I think the old adage “Three times a charm” may have come true for us. It seems the curse may be lifted because we did manage to get some good footage tonight, and I was told that this is the first time the film made it past two shooting days. Curse or no, I am having a blast and plan to stick it out to the bitter conclusion. The cast and crew are great to work with and I have a feeling that this movie is going to be a very funny comedy.
[…] Armageddon of the Kippered Beef Steak (25% Shot, Delayed till January 2006) - Short Comedy (30 min.) about a man who is forced between killing one person in 24 hours, or allowing the earth to be destroyed. This lowbrow comedy is in the vain of South Park and the Simpons. I play a hip college professor who helps the lead contemplate the moral dilemmas he is forced to deal with. This movie is cursed but we are managing to push forward little by little! […]
