After India’s (Wasikowska’s) father dies in an auto accident, her Uncle Charlie (Goode), who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her emotionally unstable mother (Kidman).

[BD Review] Revisiting Ryan Daley’s Thoughts On ‘Stoker’
While most reviews are popping up now for the March 1 release, Ryan Daley caught Park Chan-wook’s creepy family thriller Stoker at this past January’s Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
So, while we wait for you guys to post your own thoughts, Daley calls Stoker, which stars Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode, “an extremely slow-starter, a contemplative thriller that holds back the genre elements until the second half.
“As a murder mystery, it ranks as merely solid,” adds Daley. “But it’s virtually impossibly to overstate the beauty of Park’s visuals here. The rich color palette, captured with the assistance of longtime cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung, is nothing less than breathtaking. Virtually any still image from the film could be framed and hung as a masterpiece. While it may lack the dark intensity of Park’s previous projects, Stoker is the textbook definition of an art film.”

[Video Interview] Matthew Goode On Playing Uncle Charlie In ‘Stoker’
Fans of director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengenace, Lady Vengeance, Thirst) only have to wait one more day before they can see his English-language debut, Stoker. The film, penned by Ted Foulke (aka Wentworth Miller), is a true grower. I liked it when I left the theater, only to realize the next day that I actually loved it.
Matthew Goode (Watchmen, A Single Man) wasn’t shooting when I visited the Nashville set (set report), so I was thrilled to catch up with him in Los Angeles last month. Even better, I’d had a chance to see the film – and I was utterly unprepared for just how different Goode is from Uncle Charlie in terms of mannerisms and general affect.

5 Questions With ‘Stoker’ Director Park Chan-wook
There’s no doubt that director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengenace, Lady Vengeance, Thirst) is a true visual master. It’s in his blood. His English-language debut, Stoker, penned by Ted Foulke (aka Wentworth Miller), is no exception. Not only is the story somehow atmospheric, creepy and fun – but the visual aesthetic is absolutely astounding. Some directors make movies while others truly understand the language of cinema. And Director Park is certainly among the latter in that regard.
I didn’t have time to talk to him for my set report, so I was thrilled to be able to catch up with him at the SLS Hotel in Los Angeles last month. While we chatted for 15 minutes, keep in mind it was via translator – so there was some inherent back and forth that kept the actual content covered on the shorter side.

[Sundance '13 Review] Ryan Daley Calls ‘Stoker’ An Contemplative Artistic Thriller
One of my favorite directors of all-time is Park Chan-wook, best known for his Vengeance trilogy, which includes the legendary Oldboy. The Korean master has completed his first English-language feature, Stoker, which premiered the Sundance Film Festival before its March 1 release through Fox Searchlight.
Ryan Daley was on hand and calls Stoker, which stars Wentworth Miller, Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman, Matthew Goode, Jacki Weaver, Lucas Till, Alden Ehrenreich, Phyllis Somerville and Dermot Mulroney, “an extremely slow-starter, a contemplative thriller that holds back the genre elements until the second half.
“As a murder mystery, it ranks as merely solid,” adds Daley. “But it’s virtually impossibly to overstate the beauty of Park’s visuals here. The rich color palette, captured with the assistance of longtime cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung, is nothing less than breathtaking. Virtually any still image from the film could be framed and hung as a masterpiece. While it may lack the dark intensity of Park’s previous projects, Stoker is the textbook definition of an art film.”

[BD Review] ‘Stoker’ A Contemplative Artistic Thriller
One of the more highly anticipated films of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival was Stoker, the first English-language feature from cult fave Chan-wook Park (the highly regarded Vengeance trilogy, including Oldboy). Despite a heavyweight cast that includes Nicole Kidman, Mia Wasikowska and Dermot Mulroney, Stoker still manages to retain Park’s distinctive fingerprints, indicating that even the Hollywood system can’t quell his particular brand of creativity. It may be slow, but it’s one hell of a good-looking movie.
When patriarch Richard (Mulroney) is killed in a mysterious accident, the wealthy, reclusive Stoker family struggles to pick up the pieces and move on. Distant from her workaholic husband, wife Kidman mourns the loss through sullen self-absorption, paying little attention to teenage daughter Mia Wasikowska, who spends most of the movie rocking that whole petulant Wasikowska thing. When Richard’s brother Charlie unexpectedly arrives for the funeral and announces his intention to move in with the family, the resulting mind games begin to corrode the Stokers, particularly niece Wasikowska, who feels strangely attracted to her uncle despite her best instincts.
British actor Matthew Goode plays the pivotal role of “Uncle Charlie”––in a presumed reference to Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt, which also featured a mmysteriousUncle Charlie come home to visit––a glinty-eyed seducer of women who is never quite what he seems. After a handful of flirtatious exchanges with Kidman, Uncle Charlie’s gaze eventually drifts to young Wasikowska, with whom he forges an even deeper connection. Once a dark secret is shared, it becomes even harder for Wasikowska to escape the influence of her increasingly malevolent uncle.
Stoker is an extremely slow-starter, a contemplative thriller that holds back the genre elements until the second half. As a murder mystery, it ranks as merely solid. But it’s virtually impossibly to overstate the beauty of Park’s visuals here. The rich color palette, captured with the assistance of longtime cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung, is nothing less than breathtaking. Virtually any still image from the film could be framed and hung as a masterpiece. While it may lack the dark intensity of Park’s previous projects, Stoker is the textbook definition of an art film.

[News Bites] Sam Raimi Directing ‘Poltergeist’(?!) And Other Breaks!
In an article over at the THR, they misreport sneak in that Sam Raimi is set to actually direct the remake of Poltergeist, which David Lindsay-Abair has been writing since April. This is not true. The remake of Tobe Hooper’s classic is the story of a suburban home built over an Indian burial ground and thus inhabited by a nasty spook. While I’m not excited about the film being remade, Raimi does have the “family” mentality and also is one of the best at creating “impact” moments in the genre.
With Nate Parker falling out of the project due to scheduling conflicts, Spike Lee has turned to a frequent collaborator to replace him with James Ransone (Sinister) boarding Filmdistrict and Good Universe’s Oldboy, Variety reports. Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen and Sharlto Copley currently star with Lee helming. A remake of Chan-wook Park’s Korean revenge thriller, pic revolves around a man who is kidnapped and imprisoned for more than a decade for unknown reasons.
Jacki Weaver, who garnered an Oscar nomination for the 2010 Australian film Animal Kingdom, has joined the cast of Haunt, an original horror movie being produced and financed by QED International, reports THR. Also starring in the movie are Liana Liberato and Harrison Gilbertson. Written by Andrew Barrer, the story centers on a family that moves into a new home with a dark past. The introverted son (Gilbertson) becomes involved with a beautiful girl (Liberato) next door and as they begin to explore their sexual awakening, the two unwittingly invoke an alternative dimension of the house. Weaver will play a former resident of the house who has suffered a terrible family tragedy. Production will begin November in Utah.
TNT has put in development “Frankenstein,” a drama series from Lionsgate Television and 1019 Entertainment based on the five Frankenstein novels by Dean Koontz, which have sold more than 20 million copies. Deadline reports that feature writer James V. Hart (Dracula, Hook) and his son Jake Hart will write the project, a modern-day reworking of the classic Frankenstein mythology. “It is set in present-day New Orleans and follows Victor Helios (Frankenstein) and his creation 200 years after they thought they killed each other in a battle in the Arctic. The creature has survived and Victor has used science to keep himself alive — and they’re now in the same city unbeknownst to each other. Victor has engineered a new race of bizarre beings who answer to him, and when the creature learns that Victor is alive, an epic war ensues built on 200 years of pent-up rage, with New Orleans caught in the middle.” READ MORE
