Carla Gugino And Garry Marshall (!?) Join The RACE FOR WITCH MOUNTAIN!!

Published at:  Mar 14, 2008 8:40:17 AM CDT


Merrick here...


Carla Gugino will appear opposite Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN, Disney's "reimagining"/extension of ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN and RETURN FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN.

Actor/producer/director Garry Marshall is also being thrown into the mix. While he's primarily known for creating TV series like HAPPY DAYS, LAVERNE & SHIRLEY, and MORK & MINDY - he also has an extensive acting career.


In Andy Fickman's feature, Gugino will play a discredited astrophysicist and UFO expert who meets up with a Las Vegas cab driver (Johnson). He asks for her extraterrestrial expertise to help a pair of psychic siblings escape the clutches of evil men and save the human race from impending doom.

Marshall plays a government and UFO conspiracy theorist/fringe scientist who helps them in their quest. Alexander Ludwig and AnnaSophia Robb play the siblings.

    by jamestct

    Escape sucked but I remember "Return to Witch Mountain" vividly, it had Bette Davis as a gambling obsessed crazy woman and Christopher Lee as a guy who wanted to take over the world. Not a bad film at all! But reimaginings suck.

    I have happy memories of watching Escape to Witch Mountain one morning at school when we were snowed in and lessons were cancelled. No real point to that story, I thought I'd just make you feel all warm and wholesome before chucking in the more unwholesome fact that I want to touch Carla Gugino's LOVELY BREASTs. With my nob!

    Is there nothing else than can be made instead?

    by drath

    Not to bitch, but Witch Mountain was not exactly something that needs to be revisited. I'd sooner revisit the Last fucking Starfighter or Enemy Mine! I know name recognition is nice, but there MUST be some books or even some imaginative screenwriters (oxymoron?) out there with some new ideas--or even just new packaging for old ideas! Or is this on the same level as Norbit and the Pacifier?

    Is this going to be straight to video?

    by tron

    I bet it will be another vehicle for a G rated film. Not that theres anything wrong with G rating except the standards of G today seem to have a pace and intensity geared not for childern but toddlers.

    Who remembers the storybook album more than the movie?

    by anakin whoopass

    I'm not even sure I ever saw Escape to Witch Mountain but I must have played that storybook album dozens of times as a kid. Ah, the days of no home video, when they'd make a record album from the movie's audio accompanied with a picture book. The main titles of the film are very James Bond, with kids and dogs instead of tits and guns.

    The name Gugino...

    by bizarrojerry

    I think I know why even the name sounds hot. It seems like a strange combination of the fun slang term "coochie" and what it refers to, "vagina". Then that combination is translated into Italian, and you get "Gugino".

    Yeah, this will probably suck, sad but true. But if Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann are in it anywhere, I'll watch. 'Cause I loved the original when I was a kid.
