I'm a huge Wes Craven fan so it will be interesting to how "Cursed" turns out. Craven, who directed "Scream" trilogy, and "A Nightmare On Elm Street," has teamed up again with Kevin Williamson who also wrote the scripts for other top scare flicks -- "Scream" trilogy, "The Faculty," and "I Know What You Did Last Summer."

This time, Christina Ricci had the lead in "Cursed," a classic werewolf tale, Craven-style. Think "Scream" but with werewolves.
"Cursed" takes place on a dark night in Los Angeles and centers around an estranged brother and sister dealing with the recent loss of their parents. Ricci plays a movie publicist who ends up in a car accident, and she and her teenage brother are attacked a werewolf.
It's going to be interesting to see this one because Craven had to re-shoot almost the entire film when the first version turned out to be uh, cursed, and most of the footage was tossed. The movie was delayed, retooled, rewritten, and then the cast brought back for an almost total reshoot.
, Moviehole is reporting that Collective Soul has been confirmed as the band behind the theme song to "Cursed." Soul also did the theme track to Craven's "Scream 2" a few years back. The track listing for the "Cursed" soundtrack also includes titles by Days Grace, Dashboard Confessional, The Crystal Method, Bowling For Soup, and composer Marco Beltrami.
Also in the cast: Shannon Elizabeth, Portia de Rossi, Michael Rosenbaum, and Scott Foley.
"Cursed" opens Friday, February 25, 2005. Meanwhile, Ricci's supernatural thriller, "The Gathering," is still gathering dust on a shelf somewhere with no sign of release.
