The movie was in limbo for over a year due to production and script problems. Several cast members had to be replaced due to scheduling conflicts with other movies.
When the production was stalled, many cast members were cut, including Skeet Ulrich, Mandy Moore, Omar Epps, Illeana Douglas, Heather Langenkamp, Scott Foley, Robert Forster, and Corey Feldman. Some of these actors even filmed scenes which were scrapped by director Wes Craven.
The set used for Jimmy's high school is Torrance High School, the same used for Sunnydale High on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Filming also occurred at Verdugo Hills High School.[1]
In the USA, the film was originally to be released as an MPAA R-rated film with graphic violent scenes however, the studio wished to have a more marketable PG-13 rating and the film was edited and released as a PG-13 film.
In Canada, the uncut version of the film was released theatrically and received a 14A in Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario and a 14 in the Maritimes (after appeal) and a 13+ in Quebec. In British Columbia, the film was given an 18A and after an unsuccessful appeal[2] the edited US version was submitted, 14A-rated and released in British Columbia.
The movie opened on Friday February 25, 2005 in theaters everywhere, and grossed $19 million at the North American box office.
When released on DVD in the USA on June 21, 2005, two versions were available, the theatrical version, rated PG-13 and an unrated director's cut which contains the footage cut to obtain a PG-13. Only the director's cut version was released on DVD in Canada.
