What date did the dog which starred in a movie written, produced, and directed by Joe Camp die?
Benji (1974 film) Benji is the first film in a series of five theatrical features about the golden mixed breed dog named Benji. It was written, produced, and directed by Joe Camp, and filmed in and around Denton, Texas. Released in 1974, it was a critical and box-office success, grossing $45 million on a budget of $500,000. The film also received an Academy Award nomination for the Best Original Song for the theme song "I Feel Love," written by Euel Box and performed by country singer Charlie Rich. The film was turned down for distribution by every studio in Hollywood; Camp had to form his own distribution company to distribute the film worldwide. Despite the challenges, "Variety" reported that "Benji" ranked #3 among the top Box Office films of 1974.
Bad Company (2002 film) Bad Company is a 2002 American-Czech action-comedy film directed by Joel Schumacher, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and starring Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock. The film became somewhat famous for its connections to the September 11th terrorist attacks; amongst other things, it was the last major production to film inside the former World Trade Center. The film plot, written years before the attacks, involved a variety of Serbo-Balkan extremists (including a man from Afghanistan) planning a huge attack in New York City. The movie's release date was moved out of its late 2001 spot and into a summer 2002 release, similar to several other films with terrorism or violent crime-related stories, including "Collateral Damage" and "Training Day".
