Movie flopped because they dubbed her voice, she claims

In 2013 / 2014, Paz de la Huerta had her brush with the exploitation genre, in the adult thriller “Nurse 3D,” which saw her play a nurse with an unhealthy obsession with a female colleague, who sets out to kill whoever stands in the way of their “romance.”

You can see a trailer for the film below. It aimed for campy and fun and gory, but it ended up being bad: not bad-good, the kind that entertains you because it’s so stupid, but just bad.

In court documents obtained by TMZ, Paz claims it was all the director’s doing. Apparently, she was injured on set while filming a stunt and when she threatened to file a worker’s comp claim, the director, Doug Aarniokoski, tried to edge her out of the project.

Because he had a movie to complete, he resorted to the cheap trick of dubbing her with the voice of a very bad actress, and Paz seems convinced that this is what killed whatever chances of success the movie had at the box office.

“Nurse 3D” opened and failed to make an impression on the audience, while being panned by critics. Paz says that the release killed her promising career, so now she’s asking for a judge to get the director to pay her for loss of revenue.

“She says her career is cooked, and since she was making around $2 million [€1.84 million] a year, and she believes that would total $55 million [€50.6 million], plus punitive damages,” the report says. “And that's not all. She wants the judge to order the director to re-dub the voice in the movie with hers.”

So far, no word back from the executives and the director.
