10 Most Notoriously Nightmarish Film Shoots
Film productions that lived up to the saying - "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong".
United ArtistsWhen you sign onto a film, obviously your hope is that it will be smooth sailing. You'll get along with the cast, the director will be nice to you, you'll be shooting in a tropical paradise, and you'll generally have an awesome experience that you'll spend the entirety of the press tour gushing about. Yeah. That would be nice. Unfortunately, as glamorous as the film industry can appear, this is pretty much a pipe dream. Sure, every once in a while you get lucky, but you can't bank on that. That's why, a lot of times, you'll see directors and actors working together over and over again. It's that fear of the unknown -- they're just trying to minimize the chances of having a bad set experience. Because everyone who works in the movie industry has at least one personal anecdote of a film that went so badly wrong they considered shooting one of their own thumbs off, World War I style, to get the hell out of there. Monsoons, prima donnas, egotistical directors, deaths -- all this and more has happened on the truly terrible film sets, the ones that have gone down in history as the worst of the worst.
