We’ve finally got a nice and clean hi-res look at star Katie Holmes in Troy Nixey’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark redo that premiered footage at this week’s San Diego Comic-Con and gave Comic-Con attendees a “…good old fashion scare,” says del Toro at the panel. “It’s hard hitting, it’s scary it’s classical, but the ending hits you…” It was also revealed to BD that the film will receive a studio supported R-rating and will definitely NOT be in 3-D. The adaptation of a 1973 ABC telepic arriving in theaters January 21 tells the story centers on a young girl, portrayed by Madison, who’s sent to live with her father (Pearce) and his girlfriend (Holmes) in the old mansion they are renovating, where she unwittingly unleashes malevolent creatures bent on destroying all of them.
