20 Movies Starring Harry Potter Actors Coming In 2017
17. A Cure For Wellness – Jason Isaacs
Gore Verbinski, director of the American remake of Japanese scare-fest The Ring, will return to the horror genre with his next film A Cure for Wellness. Dane DeHaan stars as a young executive set to collect his company’s CEO from a mysterious ‘wellness centre’ in a remote region of the Swiss Alps who soon discovers there may be something more sinister at play than your typical spa treatments.
Nymphomaniac: Vol II actress Mia Goth will star as
a patient at the centre and Harry Potter’s bleach blonde wizard villain Lucius
Malfoy, also known by his real-life name Jason Isaacs, will play the facility’s
director.
Hopes are high for this movie. Verbinski’s The Ring stands as the finest J-Horror remake to date and if he can bring even half of its doom-laden atmosphere to A Cure for Wellness it should be a good enough film. Better yet, he’s teaming back up with cinematographer Bojan Bazelli who made beautifully eerie use of The Ring’s American Northwest setting and is sure to do the same with A Cure for Wellness’s location, Germany’s majestic Hohenzollern Castle.
