Trailer for the remake of DARK WATER starring Jennifer Connelly
Hey folks, Harry here... This film doesn't hit till near the end of summer 2005. It's a remake of a pretty damn good Japanese horror film called DARK WATER. And in many ways - this is the one American remake of an Asian Horror film that I am looking forward to. Saw the original at Sitges a couple of years back and liked it a whole bunch, but it felt slightly off. It just wasn't up to par with THE EYE or RINGU in my book... and certainly, much later I'd realize it isn't as good as JUON. However, with Walter Salles directing and a cast made up of Jennifer Connelly, John C Reilly, Dougray Scott, Shelley Duvall, Pete Postlethwaite and the man-god Tim Roth... well, that has ALOT of potential. Walter Salles' MOTORCYCLE DIARIES is one of the best films of 2004, absolutely wonderful... as was his BEHIND THE SUN before that. The cast is stellar - and they all happen to be damn fine actors ta boot. The original film wasn't all that, but Salles has a way of getting to the emotional truth of the material he's working with, as do these actors... on their better days. Let's hope this is one of those days. There's a helluva story here - and one that there is potential to improve upon. Here ya go...
