My God, the next Dark Castle production is starting to look really good.
Covered on this site , GOTHIKA is the latest film from the production company that brought us GHOST SHIP and the remakes of HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and THIRTEEN GHOSTS. This time, though they've tapped Oscar winner, Halle Berry and Penelope Cruz ( VANILLA SKY, BLOW ) to star.
Now, the big casting continues as the production finally snags a director. And that director is none other than Mathieu Kassovitz. If you have not seen Kassovitz's excellent thriller THE CRIMSON RIVERS, I suggest you do so. No, seriously, right now. We'll be here when you get back. Go on.....
Okay, now that you're back, Kassovitz is a talented French filmmaker who also wrote, directed and starred in HATE ( a.k.a. LA HAINE ) and ASSASSIN(S). He's also an actor in his own right, having a featured role in the brilliant film AMELIE to name just one - so he should know how to handle his two divas. Oh, he was also the strung out mugger with a poster on his head disarmed by Bruce Willis in THE FIFTH ELEMENT.
GOTHIKA is written by Sebastian Gutierrez ( THE SHE CREATURE ) and concerns a psychologist who wakes up as a patient in her own asylum, with no memory of committing a murder. Like all Dark Castle productions, it's due around Halloween.
For some reason, Richard Donner is listed as director on the IMDB. The Kassovitz signing has been confired by , and . Ooooh yeah, we're all about accuracy at HE, yep.
