Those beautiful bastards at Scream Factory have made another one of their patented surprise title announcements, this one being the mostly-forgettable supernatural thriller STIGMATA, starring Patricia Arquette, Gabriel Byrne and Jonathan Pryce. I remember the trailer for this being incredibly compelling; the movie itself, not so much. (I was there opening day!) That said, I haven’t seen STIGMATA since that first time, so maybe it’s worth a revisit.
Scream Factory hasn’t revealed any special features yet, but apparently all of the supplements on the 2000 MGM DVD release will be ported over. (Including deleted scenes, an alternate ending and a Natalie Imbruglia Music Video!)
Frankie Paige (Arquette) has absolutely no faith in God. All of that changes when she suddenly begins to suffer the Stigmatathe living wounds of the crucified Christ. Frankie’s miraculous bleeding comes to the attention of the Vatican’s top investigator, Father Kiernan (Byrne). But when Cardinal Houseman (Pryce), discovers that Frankie is actually channeling an extraordinary and provocative message that could destroy the Church, he’s convinced that she – and the force possessing hermust be forever silenced. Determined to stop this deadly conspiracy, Kiernan risks his faithandhis lifeto save her and the message that will change the destiny of mankind forever!
The release date for STIGMATA will be announced next month.
