It has been a very long time since I watched director Adrian Lyne's 1990 film JACOB'S LADDER, but two of the few things I remember about it involve a subway and talk of experimental drugs being used on soldiers. Embedded below we have a clip from director David M. Rosenthal's remake of JACOB'S LADDER, and this clip involves a subway and talk of experimental drugs being used on soldiers.
Apparently the remake is quite different from the original film, so it's interesting that these two memorable elements are present in the clip.
Written by Jeff Buhler and Sarah Thorpe, this take on the JACOB'S LADDER concept has the following synopsis:
A man named Jacob Singer is finally getting his life back together after the death of his brother in Afghanistan. He has a beautiful wife, a newborn child, and a successful career as a surgeon in a VA hospital. When a stranger approaches him and tells him that his brother is actually alive and living in an underground shelter with other homeless vets, Jacob’s life starts to unravel. He begins hallucinating, starts to think he is being followed by violent attackers, and becomes paranoid about the truth of what really happened to his brother.
Michael Ealy, Jesse Williams, Nicole Beharie, Karla Souza, and Guy Burnet star.
Released exclusively through DISH at the end of last month, the JACOB'S LADDER remake will be getting a VOD and theatrical release on August 23rd.
