Curiosidades

Popcorn is a 1991 American slasher film directed by Mark Herrier and written by Alan Ormsby. It stars Jill Schoelen, Tom Villard, Tony Roberts, Dee Wallace, and Derek Rydall. The plot follows a group of college students holding a film festival, where they are then stalked and murdered by a deranged killer inside a movie theater.

Production

The film was executive produced by Howard Hurst, a Toronto based real estate magnate.

Adamant about not directing another horror film after Black Christmas (1974), Bob Clark passed on the offer to helm the film and instead suggested his collaborator on Deathdream (1974), Alan Ormsby. Clark, an uncredited producer for Popcorn, also acted as a "hands-on" filmmaker throughout production and served as a second unit director when needed. Popcorn was filmed entirely in Kingston, Jamaica.

Ormsby was replaced by Porky's actor Mark Herrier a few weeks into filming. The cast and crew later speculated that Ormsby was fired for being too "detail-oriented" in the creation of the "film within a film" marathon movies. While Ormsby is credited with directing all three, Herrier is credited with filming the present-day portions of Popcorn.

Concurrent with Ormsby's dismissal, the original lead actress, Amy O'Neill, was replaced by Jill Schoelen.
