W aterworks Great Expense
In Universal Pictures’ long-
aw aited sum m er movie ‘W ater-
world", which opened in U.S. the­
aters Friday, Kevin Costner plays a
mutant warrior who uses superhu­
man stunts in narrow escapes from
death.
Costner, who is part man, part
Fish, emerges virtually unscathed in
the movie, but in real life the brood­
ing actor may not be as fortunate.
With a budget of more than $2(X)
million and a tidal wave of negative
p u b licity th reaten in g to drow n
" Waterworld”, experts say it wi 11 take
more than a few last-minute heroics
to keep the epic film afloat.
“The situation is this,” said
Jeffries & Co entertainment analyst
Lee Isgur. “It’s got to make a hell of
a lot of money, and that’s going to be
tough."
In the months leading up to Fri­
day’s opening, “W aterworld” has
been the subject of unprecedented
pre-release attention, with some crit­
ics calling it "Fishtar” — a reference
to the costly 1987 comedy flop
“Ishtar: — or "Kevin’s Gate”.
ForCostner, the criticism, which
included reports of wild parties on
the set, numerous diving injuries and
expensive re-shoots, has been a
shock.
“W e’ve worked ourselves into a
place where people can write about
events before they see them, write
afwut events that actually they don’t
even know, use sources 'close to the
source' supposedly and feel like it’s
the truth," he said in a recent inter­
view. “There’sacynicism that exists
in that and there’s also a danger in
that "
“W aterworld” started out as a
$IO() million thriller in which the
polar ice caps have melted and cov­
ered the earth with water. Costner,
who plays a enigmatic mariner, sets
out with ayoung girl and her adopted
mother to find a mythical place called
Dryland.
In the process, they are chased
by Dennis Hopperand arag-tag bunch
of hoodlums who try to kidnap the
girl, the only one who knows where
Dryland is.
As production lagged, the film’s
costs continued to soar, triggering a
wave of negative media reports. But
Costner continues todefend the film’s
budget.
“This movie was embarrassing­
ly expensive, but it was not overdone
given what the circumstances were,”
Julia's

House
he said.
For starters, "Waterworld” was
filmed almost entirely at sea, under
difficult conditions. Camera crews
were often at odds with the elements.
The location, o ff the coast of
H awaii, meant m aterial had to be
