Filmed: 2000/2001
Released: 2005 (on TV in US, DVD here)
We Apologise For The Delay: Miramax trumpeted buying the rights to a zeitgeisty, critically applauded book based on author Elizabeth Wurtzel’s struggle with life, drugs and love, attached hot starlet Christina Ricci to the lead. And produced a steaming turkey.
The movie was swiftly buried in the vaults and quietly leaked out years later with almost zero promotion.
''As you should have figured out by now, it's a horrible movie,'' Wurtzel told the New York Times in 2003. ''It's just awful. If they thought it was good, they'd have released it long ago.''

uuh....totalfilm, how exactly is Cameron re-making Delgo? Especially considering that he wrote the original (highly detailed) scriptment in 1995? And it then proceeded to float around on the internet for the next decade and a bit. Any of the ideas or imagery in the scriptment was freely available for anyone to copy/steal. If anything its Delgo that clearly "borrowed" from the ol;d Avatar scriptment, as well as that other pos Battle for Terra. I would just think that a so called "film magazine" would actually be aware of that little fact...
