Douglas Aarniokoski is a very bad director. We know this because of Animals, The Day and Lionsgate’s Nurse 3D.
Actress/model Paz de la Huerta did not learn of this truth until the release of the pulp slasher that was dumped straight to home video.
No matter, she blames the filmmakers for destroying her career, and is suing for $55M, according to a report by TMZ.
In Nurse 3D, de la Huerta played a nurse hell-bent on murdering cheating, scummy men.
Sure, the movie was terrible, but that’s only part of the reason as to why she’s suing. This one is a doozy…
Paz claims she was shooting a scene where an ambulance was supposed to speed by, but it ended up clipping her, explains TMZ. Paz says she suffered a spinal fracture and told movie execs she was going to file a worker’s comp claim.
According to Paz, Aarniokoski decided she was a pain in the ass so he had a lousy actress dub her voice in the ambulance scene and other scenes as well.
The site adds that, while the movie tanked, critics panned the flick, pointing to Paz’s monotone performance. So she says her career is cooked, and since she was making around $2 million a year, she believes that would total $55 million, plus punitive damages.
This is the best part, though…
She wants the judge to order the director to re-dub the voice in the movie with hers!
Would you guys re-watch the movie if they redid her audio? Do you think it would have made a difference? As bad as the movie was, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit and think it’s far from the worst movie ever made. Animals on the other hand…
