Writer/director Ed (The Blair Witch Project, Altered) Sanchez’s latest follows a honeymooning couple (Amy Smart, Tim Chiou) as they attend the “Hungry Ghost” festival in China – an event which honors the carnivorous walking dead who supposedly roam free during the seventh full moon. When the newlyweds find themselves lost in an ancient backwoods village, they discover that the legend is true and must fight to survive the night.

August 11 – Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (CBS)
Lakeshore Records will release the soundtrack for MIRRORS, available via iTunes and in stores on August 12. The soundtrack contains original music composed by Javier Navarrete (Pan’s Labyrinth).
Spanish composer Javier Navarrete earned his first Academy Award® nomination for Pan’s Labyrinth, his second collaboration with director Guillermo del Toro. Navarrete began scoring in 1987 and has composed some 30 film scores since making his debut. His credits include 2003’s Dot the I, a romantic drama, and 2004’s Yo Puta.
Though not well known in the United States, Navarrete has been likened to French composer Alexandre Desplat – both well regarded in their home countries and both achieving commercial success in the United States with their debut scores. His upcoming projects include Fireflies in the Garden (starring Julia Roberts and Ryan Reynolds) and Inkheart (starring Brendan Fraser, Helen Mirren, and Paul Bettany).
The film Haute Tension put French writer/director Alexandre Aja on the horror movie map. It was edited and released in the US as High Tension. That film led to Wes Craven approaching Aja about remaking the film The Hills Have Eyes. The result was a highly successful film in the genre.
Initially Aja was approached to remake the 2003 South Korean horror film Into the Mirror. Rather than simply remake the film, Aja and co-writer Gregory Levasseur were inspired to write a new story. A security guard (Kiefer Sutherland) discovers an evil spirit lurking in the mirrors of an abandoned department store. His soon-to-be ex-wife (Paula Patton), a coroner, has a hard time believing her husband’s claims. MIRRORS also stars Amy Smart, Jason Flemyng, and Julian Glover.
20th Century Fox and New Regency present MIRRORS in theaters on August 15, 2008. MIRRORS original soundtrack on Lakeshore Records will be available via iTunes and in stores on August 12.
We are just over a month away from the biggest and best pop culture event in world, San Diego Comic Con 2008!
I have been attending San Diego Comic Con for almost a decade. Organizations have tried to copy the success of the Con but with only mediocre success. San Diego Comic Con is the ultimate place to be if you are a fan of movies, TV shows and comic books.
First if you plan on attending, get your passes now if you haven’t already. Four day passes have already sold out and only individual days are available. If you still haven’t booked your hotel rooms, you are probably S.O.L. If you have one already, good for you.
So what can we expect come late July in the beautiful city of San Diego?
While the final schedule is yet to be determined and guests have not been locked down (and with the actors strike who knows who will be showing up), this what we have heard so far from various sources.
Warner Bros. will be featuring RocknRolla, Ninja Assassin, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Terminator: Salvation, Watchmen and Friday the 13th. Christian Bale, Zack Snyder and the cast of Watchmen, Jared Padalecki are rumored.
Paramount will have a Tropic Thunder screening. We have heard there might be something for G.I. Joe and Star Trek. No guests rumored.
The Weinstein Company will showcase Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno and possibly premiere the highly anticipated film from Kyle Newman, Fanboys. Kevin Smith, Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Kyle Newman and Jaime King are rumored.
Lionsgate will only focus their attention on Frank Miller’s The Spirit and maybe show a little from their upcoming reboot Punisher: War Zone. Frank Miller, Jaime King, Eva Mendes, Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson are rumored.
20th Century Fox will have a little something from the City of Ember, Mirrors and the Day the Earth Stood Still. No word if X-Men Origins: Wolverine will have any presence. Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, Kiefer Sutherland, Amy Smart and Alexandre Aja rumored.
The trailer and official website for Mirrors has been released! You can view a movie still featuring Amy and captures from the trailer by clicking on the thumbnails below.
The film’s official website is MirrorsMovie.com and it will be released in the US on August 15!
