Resident lucky sonofabitch Ammon Gilbert recently posted a giant MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D poster he spotted while at Comic Con (hence, a lucky S.O.B.). Now EMPIRE has put up the official poster, this one showing the villainous Harry Warden in his ominous miner’s outfit. (The boys over at Bloody Disgusting are saying this poster was rejected by the MPAA. Why it would be rejected, I’m not sure. But we’ll try and find out if this thing is going to show up in movie theaters anytime soon…)
The flick, starring Jensen Ackles, Kerr Smith, Jaime King (pictured below), and the great Tom Atkins (thrill me!) goes a little something like this:
Ten years ago, a tragedy changed the town of Harmony forever. Tom Hanniger, an inexperienced coal miner, caused an accident in the tunnels that trapped and killed five men and sent the only survivor, Harry Warden, into a permanent coma. But Harry Warden wanted revenge. Exactly one year later, on Valentine’s Day, he woke up…and brutally murdered twenty-two people with a pickaxe before being killed.
Ten years later, Tom Hanniger returns to Harmony on Valentine’s Day, still haunted by the deaths he caused. Struggling to make amends with his past, he grapples with unresolved feelings for his ex-girlfriend, Sarah, who is now married to his best friend, Axel, the town sheriff. But tonight, after years of peace, something from Harmony’s dark past has returned. Wearing a miner’s mask and armed with a pickaxe, an unstoppable killer is on the loose. And as his footsteps come ever closer, Tom, Sarah and Axel realize in terror that it just might be Harry Warden who’s come back to claim them…
Of course if you’ve seen the original – assuming the new version is faithful – you already know what’s going down…
Patrick Lussier’s film opens on January 16, 2009.
