A few days ago her name was still on the list of cast members on both this page and her personal page but now it's gone from both. Does this make sense? According to the trailer and the publicity photos I've seen, Jewel is the main character and is in most of the movie. Did they drop her entirely? Did they start the movie over from scratch? Guess these guys have money to burn cause the only other thing that makes sense is that IMDB made a mistake in dropping her name from the cast list.
According to an interview with the producer, Mo Ramchandani, it seems as if Jewel was too high maintence and was cut. If you read this interview, it gives a lot of good information on what happened to the film and what will happen to it in the future.
According to her blog i read at one point she mentioned that they had to keep going back to do reshoots of scenes. Sounds like the production crew were really amateur and unprofessional and the whole cast probably got pretty annoyed.
The really stupid thing is if it was the producer's choice to get rid of Jewel and not her leaving of her own accord then they seem to have lost what was the main draw of this film! Most of the buzz was from Jewel's fans.
Yeah, but they've now got Lance Henriksen, who unlike Jewel (who hasn't been in any movies at all) is a veteran of several hit movies, I'd consider him more of a draw than her, the only people who consider Jewel a draw are Firefly fans and guys who think she's hot
At least Jewel's version has been released as "The Forgotten Ones". Check it out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1308169 While the movie isn't great, Jewel has the most important role... She's really the best in the movie.
