Hey, it's Corey, with the story with entertainment and celebrity news today, your daily pop culture update. Jamie Lee Curtis recently trashed one of her own movies during a talk at the South by Southwest Festival. The 67-year-old actress called her 1997 film, Fear's Creatures, a total disaster and said the whole cast only did it for the paycheck. That movie was meant to be a follow-up to her breakout hit, a fish called Wanda from 1988. Curtis starred Curtis alongside John Cleese, Kevin Klein, and Michael Palin in a clever crime comedy that became a lasting fan favorite. Fear's Creatures brought back much of the same talented group, but it fell flat. Production hit snags with a weak ending that forced major reshoots, yet the final version still couldn't match the original's charm. Curtis made these blunt comments while promoting her latest project, a thriller called Sender, directed by Russell Goldman. She has no regrets about speaking out on her long career full of ups and downs.

Sender had its world premiere and competition at the festival on March 14, 2026, and it's still waiting on a wide release date, as Curtis keeps booking exciting new roles.
