CULVER CITY, Calif. (AP) —'Poltergeist Il: The
Other Side, a sequel to the 1982 movie about a family
whose lives are disrupted by unpleasant forces, cost $6.2
million (U.S.) more to make than the original even though
it used the same cast and production values.

‘The original Poltergeist, co-written and produced by '
Steven Spielberg, was made for $12.million. The sequel

has been pi d for $18.2 million.

“Steven was able to get a good deal for special effects”
from E.L.M. (Electric Light and Magic, George Lucas’
wonder factory), which was in an idle period at the time,”
said executive producer Freddie Fields in explaining the
leap in cos &

“Inflationplays a big factor, the cost of materials as
well as three union pay raises; also.the additional cost of
the cast.” _

. Michael Grais and. Mark Victor, who co-wrote the
original with Spielberg and afe producing the sequel,
took a calculated risk and wrote the ‘new script for the

same cast. They hoped it would win them over. It did.
However, the actors and their agents wanted more
money: to repeat their roles.’ ’.

JoBeth Williams and.Craig T. Nelson star as the
parents and Heather O'Rourke and Oliver Robins play

“their children.

“It was worth what we had to pay them,” Fields
said. “They're a very close-knit group; they really act like
a family. That's something that isn't easy to achieve with
actors.”

NOT INVOLVED

‘Spielberg i is not artistically involved in Poltergeist
II, although he retains a financial interest.

The first Poltergeist grossed $80 million worldwide,
which would be reason enough for a sequel. However,
Fields had other reasons for pursuing the project.

“We have a strong script, one that goes beyond the
first film to show you where the Povereet come from,”
he said.

Look out for Poltergeist Il

Rs “There was a big ancillary audience for Poltergeist if
people loving it on television and.home video whereas
they wouldn't go see it in theatres. They realized that it
was not Friday the 13th, but rather an occult mnyarery
about tle unknown, with even a touch of spiritual
believe’ they will be eager to see the second film.”

Feiss in the ‘curious position of being an
independent producer ‘at the studio, MGM, where he was
once president and chief operating officer. Earlier in his
career he was an agent, guiding the careers of Robert
Redford, Paul Newman, Barbra Streisand, Woody Allen,
Steve McQueen and others.

After selling his agency, he produced such films as
Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Victory and American Gigolo
before becoming production chief at MGM.

“The drawback to being an exécutive is that once a
make the decision, a bunch of other guys go out and make
the pictures,” he said about his return to producing.

‘RAGE AND GLORY '

Film touches raw nerve

MONTREAL (CP) — Avi
Nesher figures_he touched a
raw nerve in Israeli society
when he made a film about
desperate Jewish terrorists
who persisted in battling the
British in Palestine at the
height of the Second World
War.

“The film generated great
controversy all around be-
cause it was taken on a very
political basis,” says the
young Israeli film-maker.
“Some people even cliimed it
strongly supported the PLO
and presents the PLO case

(for terrorism).”

Nesher’s low-budget thrill-
er Rage and Glory, which is
being featured at the current
Montreal World Film Fes-
tival, attempts to deal with
the inner workings of a ter-
rorist cell-of the so-called
Stern Gang, “the most ex-
treme of the extreme.”

Blinded by their hatred of
colonial authorites, the Stern
Gang, unlike the rest of the
Jewish underground in Pal-
estine, continued battling. the
British despite the threat of
Nazi armies descending on

Egypt in 1942.

The movie chronicles one
bloody chapter of the Stern
Gang’s history that begins
with the torture-death of a
Jewish terrorist at the hands
of British military police —
whose main role in the movie
appears ‘to be beating up

risoners while darkly mut-
tering “bloody Jews” in
strong’ Cockney accents.
ASSIGNS KILLER
The gang assigns its top
killer, Eddie the Butcher
(played by actor Juliano Mer)
to avenge the killing. Eddie is
a nervous, silent type who
spends most of the movie
jumping and aiming his re-
volver every time he hears a
noise.

He manages to wipe out
British police headquarters
in Jerusalem after three bot-
ched attempts, but also gets
all the gang members killed
in the ess.

Nesher finds terrorism or
“violence through ideology” a
fascinating subject. “I found
myself being a member of a
society (Israel) that was born
through violence and lived
through violence and by vio-
lence. =

“Violence seems to have

surrounded me all my life.”

But he says his movie, shot
on. location’ in? Jerusalem,
doesn’t glorify human des-
truction like Rambo. But
neither does it “say whether
it's right or wrong, because it
(terrorism) was effective in

giving birth to the state of

Israel.”

Terrorists, he discovered,
are ordinary human-beings.

Before making the movie
“I interviewed over 70 people
who were in the Stern Gang,
and today they are people
who work in. banks, who
work in insurance. They are
calm people.

“They don't have horns .

and they are not particularly
crazy, nothing extravagant
— and yet they did what they
did.”

Even the actors got caught
up in their roles.

“They actually lived for
three months as if they were
in the underground. They
became so crazy after a while
that we had fights breaking
out during rehearsals.

“We had many personal
animosities. People started
flirting with actual violence
as we were shooting. the
film.”

Crystal, creator of the
Latin character Fernando
who_says everyone looks
“simply mah-velous,” told
WBZ-TV he is to start shoot-
ing the movie Running

Sept. 16.

“They didn’t know what

WILLIAM HURT
IN ANOTHER
RISKY ROLE

SAINT JOHN, N.B. (CP) — Don't ask William Hurt —
‘The Big Chill star who has appeared on sciten as a Soviet
policeman, an outsmarted:lawyer and a bold, homosexual
window dresser — if he likes taking risky roles.

“You mean: ‘do I like climbing the Matterhorn with no
clothes on?’ " asks the bookish-looking actor, who often
answers, a question with one of his own.

Hurt may not be climbing the Matterhorn, ‘but he’s
probably taking another risk. One of Hollywood's most
marketable male leads, the lanky, blond actor is in Saint
John for the filming of Children of a Lesser God, a low: “key
movie described by its director as a “special project.”

In the film, Hurt, 35, plays James Leed, a teacher of
deaf children at an island school.

_“A departure?” muses Hurt, casually dressed in jeans,
white high-top sneakers and a green polo shirt. “I hope it is
— the principle is change.”

The cast and crew of Children of a Lesser God arrived in
this industrial New Brunswick city weeks ago to prepare for
filming, which began last week. The movie, which is set in
Maine, is being filmed at several locations, including the
campus of RCS Netherwood, a private. school.

DEAF CO-STAR

Marlee Matlin, a 20-year-old Chicago native, co-stars in
the film. Matlin, deaf since she contracted a fever at the age
of one, sees the film as a chance to show the public what the
culture of the deaf is really like. It’s also exciting.

“It's great,” says Matlin through her interpreter, vA.
great experience. Working with William Hurt is really
something.”

Matlin, Hurt and. director Randa Haines recently
appeared at.a cocktail party held to give 150 New Brunswick
guests a chance to meet the film's cast and crew. While many
of the guests were straining their necks to spot Hollywood
types, Hurt, the main-attraction, mingled quietly in his
casual clothes and granny glasses.

“I like meeting people,” he said, smiling and seanning
the well; ‘dressed crowd. “It's kind of weird, but. . -

by his~th -old son, A
Hurt ae with the crowd, spending extra time with some
of the younger guests. He was wearing a black trucker's hat,
he explained, because Alexander likes hats.
LIKES AREA

Hurt, himself, says he likes being in New Brunswick and
enjoys the Maritime fog. He has fond memories of two
summers he spent in Canada, canoeing in Northern Ontari

“Those were the two greatest summers of my life —
before you began maniacally breaking down the order and
categorizing, when you think summer is a vacation, the day
is a day and maybe a millisecond is a millisecond.

“That's when I found the land I like. Not the nation —
the land.”

Hurt’s recently released film, The Kiss of the Spider
Woman, is a far cry from his current project. In the film,
Hurt plays Molina, a homosexual sharing a Latin American
prison cell with a Marxist revolutionary. The performance
won him the best-actor award at the Cannes Film Festival
and praise from critics.

Director Haines, 40, admits that Children of a Lesser
God is not standard commercial fare. But she believes it will
give her the freedom many first-time female directors have
been denied. .

“This movie is off the beaten track of what most women
directors have been able to do,”
doesn’t feel under pressure to produce a box-office smash.
“This is one of the special projects.

“It's not a teenage film — it’s not about space wars.”

Haines’s credits include episodes of television's Hill
Street Blues and the made-for-television movie, Something
About re

“The total cost will only
become apparent over time,”
she said, noting that the
major potential cost to tax-
payers will result from Ott-
awa's decision to fully guar-
antee deposits above $60,000
— that is, deposits not
already covered by’ the fed-
eral Canada Deposit Insur-
ance Corp. ~

Deposits of up to $60,000
are insured by the CDIC
through premiums paid by
financial institutions.

The total amount of unin-
sured deposits at the Can-
adian Commercial Bank is
$420-million, part of which
may later by retovered
through the liquidation of the
bank's assets.

But: the’ potential cost ‘of
guaranteeing uninsured de-
posits could be more than
double that amount if the

which was seized by the
government over the week-
end, collapses as well.

The government is hoping
the Northland ‘Bank, with
$470 million in uninsured
deposits, may survive
through a reorganization or
merger with another institu-
tion.

McDougall defended the
government's decision to ful-
ly protect all depositors,
saying they participated in

‘Economic
forecast
bright

OTTAWA (CP) — The
Canadian economy will per-
form much better than expec-
ted over the next five years,
surpassing forecasts made by
Finance Minister Michael
Wilson in his May 23 budget,
an Ottawa-based forecasting
firm says.

“I think the minister of
finance was being very cau-
tious,” economist Michael
McCracken, head of Infor-
metrica Ltd., said in an inter-
view Tuesday. “But it's prob-
ably better to be on the low
side.”

The forecast issued this
week by Informetrica in-
dicates real economic growth
of 3.5 per cent this year and
4.4 per cent in 1986. That
compares with Wilson's pre-
dictions of 3.1 per-cent in
1985 and 2.4 per cent in 1986.
