MOVIE NEWS
THE EYE
Jessica Alba (right) is in the frame to star in the US remake of the hit Hong Kong
horror about a woman who receives a transplanted cornea and develops the
ability to see disturbing images. This starts a quest to find out what
happened to the donor before they died. French directors David Moreau and
Xavier Palud will take the helm.
(DVDfever Dom adds: "I do think Jessica Alba's the
cutest girl on the planet, but how many more times will classic Japanese
horror thrillers get remade and diluted by Hollywood?"
ADAM RESURRECTED
Jeff Goldblum will star in writer-director Paul Schrader's Holocaust drama
about a Jewish circus entertainer who is kept alive by the Nazis to
entertain fellow Jews as they march to their death in concentration camps.
The film is based on the novel by Israeli author Yoram Kaniuk.

Wesley Snipes is set to play the lead in this movie from Andrew Goth,
written by Joanne Reay, about a gunman called Kaos (the son of a nun who
breaks her covenant with God to ensure his survival). This act brings a

character finds himself haunted by his former victims, led by the vicious
Kansa, so he enlists the help of a warrior called Fabulos...
HALO

Weiss, who will be taking over trying to adapt the popular video-game into a
movie for producer Peter Jackson.
