Carla Gugino & Gary Oldman in creepy Holocaust movie UNBORN!
David Goyer's supernatural horror chiller gets cast & plot!
Here's a shocker! Platinum Dunes actually have an original horror movie in the works. That's right, not some hack job remake or glitzy re-imagining. Brand new material! You may remember back in November we told you of plans that David Goyer had to direct a as then "unknown supernatural thriller". Well four months on, we now have plot details and information on the whole cast from The Hollywood Reporter. And a movie title. Unborn follows a young girl tormented by the soul of a boy who died in the Holocaust. Yeah it's a Holocaust chiller, and he's the cast...
Gary Oldman, as a rabbi who performs exorcisms! How cool is that?
Odette Yustman, the chick from Cloverfield will play the girl tormented by the soul of a boy who died in the Holocaust. Creepy!
Meagan Good, who was superb for 5 mins in Brick... but has starred in some crap with One Missed Call (U.S.) and Stomp the Yard will play her best friend.
Carla Gugino, does she need an introduction? She will play the haunted girls mother.
Jane Alexander (from The Ring - plays a holocaust survivor & brother to the tormented spirit), Idris Elba (Tango, the guy who got shot on the street by Denzel in American Gangster - plays a priest) and Rhys Coiro (Sean from 24 - plays a college professor), Cam Gigandet (from the O.C. - plays the girl's boyfriend) make up the cast. Principal photography begins TODAY in Chicago and despite the fact that I haven't liked any film Goyer has directed in the past (The Invisible, Blade: Trinity), I do like his work as a screenwriter (Dark City, Batman Begins) and he's still relatively young as a director. He has lots of room to grow and at the end of the day it must be of some quality if it's convinced Oldman to appear in it. Oldman doesn't do the paycheck roles. And it's an original horror. We most certainly support them on Obsessed With Film. I'm hoping Platinum Dunes and David Goyer surprise me with a good movie.
