Paramount Pictures Proudly Shelves Latest Film

HOLLYWOOD, CA–Paramount Pictures is rolling out the red carpet to shelve its latest comedy, The Munsters. “Join us in welcoming this poorly realized film to the Paramount studio archives,” read a press release for the film, not coming to theaters any time soon. “Based upon the mid-’60s TV show, this $45 million bad film was intended to capitalize upon the nostalgic appeal of the series, but became bogged down in rewrites and production delays, only to end up as an unwatchable career-ender.” The press release also described the casting of actor Larry Hagman in the role of Grandpa Munster as “a stupid, stupid move.”
