豆知識

Something Wicked is a 2014 American psychological thriller film directed by Darin Scott and starring Shantel VanSanten, John Robinson, Brittany Murphy, Julian Morris, James Patrick Stuart, and Robert Blanche. The film follows a young woman who is tormented after a tragic accident that caused the death of her parents. It marks the last feature film appearance of Murphy, who died on December 20, 2009.

Production

Director Darin Scott described the film as an "erotic neo-noir giallo." After the casting of Shantel VanSanten and John Robinson in the lead roles, Brittany Murphy's casting was announced in the spring of 2009.

Principal photography took place between April and June 2009 in Eugene, Oregon on a budget of $3 million. Shooting locations included the University of Oregon campus, Pioneer Cemetery, and Edison Elementary School.

Murphy died six months after completing the film, on December 20, 2009. At the time of her death, the film was reported to have recently completed post-production.

Scott Chambers, an executive producer on the film, noted that during production, Murphy seemed "ill" and "as much as 10 pounds underweight, and she’s a small person to begin with. She easily could have made an excuse not to come to work, but she didn’t. She said, ‘I’ve got to get better, but I want to do this part." Other sources reported that some sequences had to be re-written around Murphy due to her tenuous physical state.

In December 2012, a press release confirmed that the film had been finally completed after further post-production and additional shooting took place in Oregon earlier that year.
