Unfortunately, driving the wave of Scream and subsequent teen horror movie successes’ doomed The Faculty to failure. With a poorly timed Christmas launch, the movie grew to become an surprising flop.

The Faculty is a teenage tackle Alien invasion and the way a gaggle of highschool college students attempt to survive the faculty and college students whose our bodies are hijacked by Aliens. Actress Jordana Brewster, who noticed her greatest success with the Fast and Furious franchise (and present stars in F9), displays on The Faculty (her first movie function) with Collider and the way it by no means grew to become the success she thought it could.

“With The Faculty, it was like, ‘You guys, this is gonna be huge. Look at all these successes around us,’ like She’s All That and Scream. And it was also Dimension, which was doing really well, that studio. And then Tommy Hilfiger was doing our campaign! So we all thought it was gonna be huge. And then it turned out it wasn’t so huge. We thought it was gonna be massive. I think it was a Christmas opening, and then not so big.”

Despite the movie’s field workplace numbers not hitting its objectives and never catapulting her and the remainder of the forged into quick superstardom, the actress sees a silver lining within the scenario.

“Being on set, it was my first time shooting a movie ever, but also we were in Austin, Texas and working with Robert Rodriguez and Salma Hayek was in it, and Jon Stewart would test his material on us, his comedic routine. It was so much fun. I loved working on that film.”

G/O Media could get a fee

As a first-time actress working alongside business veterans akin to Salma Hayek, Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett, Jon Stewart, and Usher, I’m certain she was excited to have the expertise. The movie has additionally turn into a little bit of a cult traditional amongst horror followers, and typically that’s one of the best you’ll be able to ask for.
