Apocalypse on the Set

James Cameron made demands of his actors during the shooting of The Abyss that resulted in near-breakdowns, but his actors were at least free to walk off set, unlike Shin Sang-Ok who was kidnapped by North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il and ordered to make movies, one of which was the giant-monster film Pulgasari. This book tells the story of nine notorious productions from the jinxed filming of Apocalypse Now to the infamous box office flop Heaven's Gate.
