NOTE FROM KRISTIAN:
“Waterworld” was delayed by weather.
The “Matrix” sequels were slowed by injuries.
The release of “Collateral Damage” was pushed
in sensitivity to current events…

Potential Blockbuster Gets Delayed


7> Actors keep tripping over all the product placements.

5> Movie stopped for a burger and then missed that left turn at Albuquerque.

4> Cameron slipped while stepping on the only crew member in Hollywood that he hasn’t yelled at.

3> Digital Domain’s doing effects shots, Second Unit work in Prague is going well, and the stunt crew has the car chase set up on the 405… Ohhhh — no script.

2> Still waiting for that Wendy’s guy to film the merchandising tie-in.

and the Number 1 Reason a Potential Blockbuster Gets Delayed…

1> Schwarzenegger got Novocain for a root canal and now not even Maria can understand what the hell he’s saying.
