Warners Shift ‘The Apparition’ to 2012
Warner Bros. Pictures has pulled The Apparition, the Todd Lincoln-directed ghost story that stars Ashley Greene (Twilight), Sebastian Stan (Black Swan, The Covenent), Luke Pasqualino, Julianna Guill (Friday the 13th, Altitude), and Tom Felton (Rise of the Apes, 13 HRS, The Disappeared), from its 2011 release slate. Following couple who are haunted by a supernatural presence that is unleashed during a college experiment, the movie has been shifted to an undetermined 2012 date. There’s no story behind the shift other than a game of Tetris.
“When frightening events start to occur in their home, young couple Kelly (Ashley Greene) and Ben (Sebastian Stan) discover they are being haunted by a presence that was accidentally conjured during a university parapsychology experiment. The horrifying apparition feeds on their fear and torments them no matter where they try to run. Their last hope is an expert in the supernatural (Tom Felton), but even with his help they may already be too late to save themselves from this terrifying force…”
When the project was originally announced, Christina Hendricks was set to star in Reckoner, but Deadline lets us know that Noomi Rapace (Prometheus) has taken over the leading role.
The site reports this afternoon, “Prometheus and Constellation star Rapace is replacing Christina Hendricks who is no longer attached due to scheduling conflicts, we understand.”
Nissar Modi (Z for Zachariah) is writing and directing Reckoner.
“The plot will follow an affluent woman whose carefully constructed life is disrupted by a young man connected to a tightly-held secret from her past.”
The film is based on a short story written by Rachel Ingalls.
XYZ Films and Two & Two Pictures are producing.
“We are immensely excited to join forces with an exceptionally talented team for Reckoner. It is an honour to have Noomi Rapace on board to complement Nissar’s electrifying directorial debut,” Two & Two Pictures said in an official statement shared by Deadline today.
