The Most Plague Riddled Production Ever
Soon after the set was resurrected, a 250-mile-long blaze surrounded the ranch. The animals were covered in smoke and ash, but thankfully, they did stay away from the fire. The flood, the blaze, the injuries, and the chaos led one critic to call Roar “ the most plague-riddled production ever .”

The only reason Roar was completed was that nobody wanted to let all the sacrifices go in vain. They wanted something to come out of it. The movie ended up costing a staggering 17 million dollars to the investors and producers.
