IFC Goes Blind For ‘Julia’s Eyes’
Having both Kidnapped and the Human Centipede franchise, IFC Films has been doing a pretty decent job of acquiring movies — but the problem is they acquire a bunch of crappy filler.
One such film is the lackluster Julia’s Eyes, the Guillermo Del Toro-produced giallo-esque horror I caught at last year’s TIFF. While it’s not terrible, it’s definitely a bit long and lacks a punch.
IFC has acquired Guillem Morales’ flick for North America and will open theatrically this coming August — wait for DVD or VOD.
The film tells the story of a woman slowly going blind as she investigates the mysterious death of her twin sister. Inside you’ll find the full synopsis and trailer.
“Julia returns to Bellevue with her husband to visit her sister Sarah, who is near blind due to a degenerative illness for which she has unsuccessfully undergone surgery. When they arrive, Julia finds that Sarah has taken her own life and none of her mysterious neighbors seem to be all that surprised. Julia has to confront not only the loss of her sister, but also the loss of all hope halting her own impending blindness, as she suffers from the same illness and would appear to be destined for the same end as her sister. ”
The next installment in the Jurassic World franchise is taking shape, with Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) in talks to lead the cast of the next installment in Summer 2025.
Deadline reports this week that Jonathan Bailey (Wicked) is also in talks to star.
Gareth Edwards (2014’s Godzilla, The Creator) will be directing the new installment, with original Jurassic Park writer David Koepp returning to write the screenplay.
Jurassic World returns to theaters on July 2, 2025. Stay tuned for more.
The new movie is expected to usher in a brand new Jurassic Era with Jurassic World cast members Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard not expected to return. Don’t expect the original trilogy’s Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill, either. The new Jurassic World, from what we gather, plans to take the franchise in a new direction, with plot details under wraps.
The next Jurassic World film will be executive produced by Steven Spielberg through Amblin Entertainment. Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley will produce and David Leitch and Kelly McCormick will also produce through 87North.
Executive Vice President of Production Development Sara Scott and Creative Executive of Production Development Jacqueline Garell will oversee the project for the Studio.
This news comes in the wake of Jurassic World, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World: Dominion, a trilogy of sequels to the original classic that concluded in 2022. The last entry, Jurassic World: Dominion, brought in a billion dollars at the global box-office, all but ensuring Universal would want to continue this franchise.
The franchise will also return with “Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” later this year, an animated series from Netflix set in the world of “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.”
