Hollywood script that has killed 6 actors

Discovered this on Reddit and read up on it a bit. Thought it was interesting and a bit creepy.

Story is that in 1963, Canadian author Mordecai Richler writes a book titled the Incomparable Atuk. Which is a story about a Canadian Inuit that moves to Toronto and adopts the greed and pretensions of the city.

Fast forward to the mid-1980's to 1990s. There is to be a film adaptation of the novel with the script written by a guy named Todd Carol and was to be filmed by Canadian Director Norman Jewison.

The first actor attached to the film was John Belushi who was offered the role in 1982, but would die a few months later.

Next the role was offered to Sam Kinison in 1988 and they would start filming for 8 days. Kinison had issues with the script and production halted. In 1992 production started again but Kinison would die in a car accident.

In 1994 they offered the role to John Candy who started reading the script. Same year he starts reading the script, he dies. Before doing so Candy tried to get a role in the movie for his friend, Michael O'Donoghue, who would die shortly after reading the script.

Next, in 1997, the film tries to start production again with a new actor...Chris Farley. Farley wanted the role because he heard that Belushi was involved. Few months after reading the script Farley would also pass away.

Before passing, Farley would let Phil Hartman read the script.

Afterwards production on this film completely stopped all together.
It should be noted however, that Will Ferrell, Jack Black, John Goodman, Josh Mostel, and Jonathan Winters were also interested in the film. There is some connection to Robin Williams but I haven't sorted that out yet.
