Bestill my beating heart. An asian horror remake that is getting studio support because of good buzz? It hardly seems possible anymore. Yet that’s exactly what is happening, finally, with the DARK WATER remake from Buena Vista. They’ve decided to move its release date up to July 8th, putting it mano a mano with FANTASTIC FOUR. Read on for the why:
“After viewing a recent cut of ‘Dark Water,’ we were completely blown away by this amazing and powerful film. We felt that it had tremendous across-the-board appeal, and every potential to become one of the big summer films. A July release date seemed like the ideal time to reach the widest possible audience. This film stands apart from the competition, and Jennifer Connelly gives a terrific performance. It has an engaging and intelligent script, great direction, and performances that set it apart from most other films in this genre. Summer moviegoers from teens to adults are going to love ‘Dark Water’ and July 8th is the perfect playdate.”
Teens to adults, eh? Ah hell, I’m not even going to get into it. We’ll just give ’em the benefit of the doubt for now. Especially since Jennifer Connelly soaking wet for the better part of a movie is an awfully good reason to go see it.
