‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark’ Poster Reaches for Greatness
Updated with hi-res poster!
Just last week we brought you the frightening trailer for Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, Guillermo del Toro-produced redo of the 1973 made for TV flick. Now, FilmDistrict, who is aiming for an August 26 release, has now unveiled the official poster for the Troy Nixey-directed nightmare that “follows Sally (Bailee Madison), a young girl who moves to Rhode Island to live with her father (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes) in the 19th-century mansion they are restoring. While exploring the house, Sally starts to hear voices coming from creatures in the basement whose hidden agenda is to claim her as one of their own.”
The poster “reaches” for greatness, hopefully they’ll send over a hi-res version later this afternoon. Dig on it inside along with the full trailer. Also keep your eyes on the official website and Facebook for more soon.
The classic murder-mystery game Clue is headed back to screens both big and small, with Variety reporting this week that Sony is planning potential film and television adaptations.
Variety reports, “Hasbro Entertainment has closed a deal with Sony‘s TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for the film and TV rights for the beloved board game.”
“Sony is the perfect partner to adapt a property as culturally impactful and mystery-defining as ‘Clue,’” said Hasbro’s Zev Foreman and Gabriel Marano. “Nicole Brown, Katherine Pope, and their teams are tremendous creative collaborators and ideal partners to help us figure out after 75 years if it was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick.”
Clue was created way back in 1943 by Anthony E. Pratt, and the board game was of course notably turned into a feature film starring Tim Curry in 1985 and a mini-series in 2011.
Ryan Reynolds had more recently been attached to star in a remake for 20th Century Studios, while Fox Entertainment had been developing an animated series a few years back.
You can learn all about the making of the original Clue film in Who Done It: The Clue Documentary, which is now streaming on the Bloody Disgusting-powered SCREAMBOX!
