Kiefer Sutherland to face Mirrors

By Matt Holmes /

Looks like my wish for Kiefer Sutherland to do more big screen acting is about to come true. Variety report that the actor will be spending his hiatus from his hit T.V. series 24 to lead Alexandre Aja's new horror flick Mirrors. Plot info from Coming Soon... In Mirrors, Sutherland will play an ex-cop who works security at a mall and discovers something awry in the mirrors of a department store. He tries to discover the origin of the evil. Aja has garnered a positive buzz from those in the industry for his remake of The Hills Have Eyes and his French slasher film Haute Tension (Switchblade Romance). Sutherland signed up for the movie after script problems delayed the much talked about 24 feature. Variety report that it won't be until next summer that filming begins on that project. Good actor + acclaimed director (although I've never seen any movie of his yet) + not half bad horror concept = good movie? Let's hope so.... the genre desperately needs it. source - coming soon, variety
