How is it that some feature films can fail?
Bad premise, inept direction, studio interference or lack of promotion?
Take a look at some projects that range from unknown, independently financed features to mega studios’ potential blockbusters – all of which got in trouble, and most became forgotten. We'll explore these five films:
- “Howard the Duck” with Lea Thompson
- “The Mean Season” with Kurt Russell
- “Roar” with Tippi Hedren
- “Throw Momma From the Train” with Danny DeVito
- “The Vagrant” with Bill Paxton
“Why Some Films Fail”
