Tonight, on Entertainment Whenever, we look into the problems that have plagued the production company, cast and crew of the movie "The Curse of the Two-Headed Black Cat".
The award nominated movie fell upon hard times when it was discovered by DOT officials that none of the crew had logged any time in their log books and were, therefore, all in violation of DOT drive-time regulation and the 14 hour rule. Tickets have been issued to each cast member and some have filed appeals in federal court. Others have quietly paid their fines and disappeared from the public eye, leaving behind speculation that the fines were indeed warranted and the appeals are just a waste of the courts time and taxpayer money. Those who have filed the appeals vehemently deny any wrong-doing and have claimed that those who paid the fines were bullied in to doing so by DOT officials posing as Federal Agents. Calls to DOT officials have gone unanswered and no further information is available at this time.
There was further drama when the animal rights group PETA filed a suit against the production company on behalf of the barn owl used in the movie, claiming the owl was forced to work in unsatisfactory conditions, without a proper trailer to rest in and without union representation. That case is still pending and no further details are available.
Adding to the problems of the troubled movie are the investors who have lost their entire investment due to the movie being pulled from box-office circulation until all court cases against it have been completed. The investors have formed a coalition called Investors Against Two-Headed Black Cats, and are seeking damages against the production company, cast and crew to try and recover their money. We will have more on that story as information unfolds.
Entertainment Whenever has also recently learned that the writers of The Curse of the Two-Headed Black Cat have begun working on a sequel to the movie in spite of all the problems the first movie has encountered. We have been unable to verify if any of the original cast will be a part of the second movie, or even if it can legally be written at this time due to all of the court cases against those involved with the first movie. It's unsure where the money to shoot the second movie will come from and some have speculated about a secret benefactor who will be backing the movie on his/her own.
Only time will tell how this will all end and we will keep you updated as new information becomes available. That's it for our show tonight. Stay tuned for the new hit comedy, 4 In a Straight Truck, right here on Fox. Goodnight everyone!
