1.”Titanic”
When filming this movie, director James Cameron used a megaphone and walkie-talkie to direct the shooting.
Many actors have to shoot live in the cold water, so the actors are tortured during the filming of the water scene, often shivering from the cold, and many people also have a cold due to this.
It was such a normal thing that directly caused dissatisfaction among a staff member at the scene.
This staff member moved his hands and feet in the soup of the crew, which eventually caused more than 50 crew members to be sent to the hospital.
At the same time, the filming time and expenses of the film have also been greatly increased.
2.”The Emperor’s New Groove”
When this Disney animated film was first produced, there were many problems with the film’s name, soundtrack, and preview.
Eventually, the initial response of the film was mediocre and it was not favored. Later, the song of the film was modified and the original director also withdrew from the film.
In the end, the new director Mark Dindal saved the movie. After the film was released, it won a box office of 169 million US dollars and a lot of praise.
3.”Team America: World Police”
The film was shot in the studio with puppets, and all the puppets in the film were completed by manual operations.
Therefore, many complex shots are very difficult and time-consuming to shoot, and some difficult shots take almost a day to shoot.
After the filming, the director said: “I don’t want to see a puppet again.”
4.”The Wolfman”
After the success of “The Mummy” produced by Universal Studios, “The Wolfman” was launched.
The film director Mark Roman quit his job just after the film was shot in the fourth week.
So the film ushered in a new director Joe Johnston and a new screenwriter.
Due to the difficulty of the special effects crew of the crew to complete the final scenes, the film “The Wolfman” finally recovered the investment cost after it was released, which was far worse than “The Mummy”.
5.”World War Z”
Many of the shots of this film are realized through CGI. There are only a few hundred real actors on the scene, and there are about 1,500 people on the set when the number of people on the set is the largest.
The original ending of the film was to launch the ultimate battle in Russia, but this version failed to be adopted.
But regardless of the ending, the film is very successful.
The production cost of the film was 190 million U.S. dollars, and the box office of the film was over 500 million U.S. dollars in the end.
6.”The Abyss”
The film was shot in an abandoned nuclear power plant in South Carolina, and the budget for the film alone exceeded $2 million.
Since most of the scenes in the film were shot in deep water, the underwater scenes at the time of shooting were very eerie and scary.
It took 6 months for the actors and crew to shoot this movie, working an average of 70 hours a week.
7.”Alien³”
“Alien³” was doomed to a failed ending when filming.
Because the script of the film has been constantly revised due to the set and scenes since the beginning of the filming, the set of the film alone cost 7 million U.S. dollars.
And this film has changed many directors, and David Fincher eventually became the director of the film.
However, during the filming process, David Fincher received various objections from the actors, crew and producers, which ultimately led to the film’s failure to continue the classic.
8.”Waterworld”
The film’s various sets and vehicles are all made in Hawaii, and the film’s original budget was only $100 million.
But in the end, it was overspend to 175 million US dollars. During the filming of the stormy scene, the movie star Kevin Costner almost died.
9.”Doctor Dolittle”
The original budget for the film was only 6 million US dollars, but it was overspended to 17 million US dollars in the end.
What makes the producers even more troublesome is that the box office after the film was released was only $8.5 million.
10.”The Prestige”
It took Jonathan Nolan 18 months to start adapting the novel of the same name.
Film director Christopher Nolan hopes that his brother Jonathan can be as faithful as possible to the original when writing the script.
