A fading celebrity takes a black-market drug: a cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself.. Ray Liotta was cast in the film in February 2022, but he died in May that year before he could film his scenes. Dennis Quaid replaced him, but Liotta is still mentioned in the director’s "Thank You Notes" during the credits.. The toilet mirror reappears intact after being repeatedly smashed during the fight sequence.. Elisabeth Sparkle: There’s been a slight misuse of the Substance.. A special thanks in the credits is given to the many extras in the theater scene, who got covered in blood.. Featured in The 7PM Project: Episode dated 20 September 2024 (2024). Pump It UpWritten by Michael Hall, Leonardo StellaPerformed by Earl GregoryProduced by Julien Deguines. This is one of those movies that would not do justice seeing at home. You need to be in a packed theater, feel the waves and rushes of energy from the crowd. It’s an experience to say the least. You will laugh, you will look away, your jaw will drop, you will feel uncomfortable. But it’s all worth it. It’s incredible filmmaking, award winning acting and a smashing soundtrack all in one. Huge applause to Demi for taking on such a vulnerable role covering a subject that is rarely discussed. Looking forward to see what comes of this, hopefully more open conversation within the industry and more doors opened than closed. Just note, this is NOT a movie you want to get high before seeing..
