What's still developing
- A few weeks later, he co-wrote “Have You Forgotten?” with Wynn Varble (“Waitin’ on a Woman,” “A Little More Country Than That”), crafting one of the handful of country hits that documented the nation’s attitudes about the attack and the wars that were launched in retaliation.
- America’s unification didn’t last long; fifteen months later, as he returned from performing for American soldiers in the Middle East, he drove the same streets.
- “All we can hope for is that it sustains” That’s what Curry Barker was first told by his reps and those around him about the domestic box office prospects for his horror pic Obsession.
- “Then I was like ‘Oh, wait, that’s not what I want to do. I don’t want to try and fix it. It’s way more interesting that there’s a passivity in his character. He’s what I would call a passive antagonist,” explained Barker.
- “So, it became clear to me that the way to fix the movie was not to make Bear try and fix it sooner, but to actually make it even more clear to the audience that he wants to make it work. That’s the thing that he becomes active on trying to make this work,” said Barker.
- In terms of Navarrette’s streak, she recently appeared at D23 where it was announced she’s playing Rogue in the Marvel Studio’s revival of X-Men.
- Nikki (Navarrette), who he put a love-binding toxic spell on.
- After director Curry Barker previously revealed that the massive box office hit underwent multi-day reshoots to enhance certain elements, Navarrette said Friday at the Toronto International Film Festival that fans can see a marked shift in her appearance after she returned to set.
