Amber Heard just can't stay away from our genre (not that I'm complaining) as she'll be joining another horror vet, Odette Yustman (Cloverfield, The Unborn), in And Soon the Darkness, a remake of the 1970 British thriller being co-produced and co-financed by Studio Canal. Heard is already starring in a vary of genre films including All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, Zombieland, The Stepfather and John Carpenter's The Ward. A scream queen? She's working fast at earning that title. Read on for the details on Darkness.
Set in Argentina, "Darkness" tells the story of two American girls on a bike-riding trip in a remote part of the country. When one of them goes missing, the other must find her before darkness falls and her worst fears are realized.
The original was set in France and tackled the idea of how vulnerable a stranger in a strange land can be.
Heard also is making her first foray into producer territory, acting as a co-producer on the film, which marks the feature directorial debut of commercials helmer Marcos Efron.
They're remaking 'And Soon the Darkness' now? Crikey, that's... an odd choice. That film scared the crap out of me when I was a kid when I saw it on TV many years ago, although it's rather tame rewatching it on DVD these days. Good flick though. "Set in Argentina..." Oh... fuck off, Hollywood.
Oh man, i just watched this movie again a week ago and was thinking how it's surprising no douche has tried to remake this one yet. Awesome casting though.
