MOVIES - May 30, 1989

A late night shoot in New Mexico for the new Vestron film “Enid Is Sleeping” turned out to be just that--a late night shoot. The production company inadvertently walked into the middle of a generations-old family feud in Pecos, N.M., and as actors Judge Reinhold and Jeffrey Jones were filming at a roadside gas station, an angry family member opened fire with a shotgun. He was upset because the station belongs to the the other half of the family, and therefore they’d be getting some money from the production company instead of him. Police who arrived to restore order told the film crew that the feud has been going on for years. The angry family member was eventually escorted from the scene and filming resumed after about an hour’s interruption. Said Reinhold: “Now I’ll have something to tell Johnny Carson the next time I appear on his show.” Elizabeth Perkins stars in the comedy about a cop who has to get rid of his wife’s body.
