No One Ever Leaves in ‘A Cure for Wellness’ (Clip)
The Ring and Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski director will provide A Cure for Wellness on February 17th.
The film has been shrouded in secrecy, although one thing is for certain, the film has a strong steampunk vibe that looks straight out of the 1990’s. Verbinski had spent years developing a “BioShock” adaptation and every piece of footage looks inspired by his time on that project.
In this new piece of footage we see Chronicle‘s Dane DeHaan being told the chilling truth, that no one ever leaves once they’re admitted.
In the film, “An ambitious young executive is sent to retrieve his company’s CEO from an idyllic but mysterious “wellness center” at a remote location in the Swiss Alps. He soon suspects that the spa’s miraculous treatments are not what they seem. When he begins to unravel its terrifying secrets, his sanity is tested, as he finds himself diagnosed with the same curious illness that keeps all the guests here longing for the cure.”
The story of Ghostbusters II will be told like never before in the documentary Too Hot to Handle: Remembering Ghostbusters II, which has wrapped production after eight years!
Deadline details, “United Kingdom filmmakers Anthony and Claire Bueno are behind the documentary, whose production was delayed by the pandemic and health complications. The aim is to officially launch the film at a festival and/or market this fall.”
Too Hot to Handle: Remembering Ghostbusters II is a sequel to the 2019 documentary Cleanin’ Up The Town: Remembering Ghostbusters, also made by Anthony and Claire Bueno.
The upcoming Ghostbusters II documentary will feature “interviews with Dan Aykroyd, the late Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, the late director and producer Ivan Reitman, and ILM’s Dennis Muren.”
Director Anthony Bueno said in a statement shared by Deadline, “It’s been an honour and a privilege to capture these interviews and finally be able to present them all to the world. I’m incredibly proud of the work that we have all put into these documentaries. It hasn’t always been an easy journey but with the skills and talents of all involved, we can finally show Too Hot To Handle to the fans of the Ghostbusters films and filmmaking alike.”
Composer Randy Edelman previews, “As it comes closer to having audiences view the wonderful new documentary Too Hot To Handle, I find that the music for the score reflects more than just going over the broad plot points of this look back to the gloriously and unique sequel to such a loved film property. As I had written the score to Ghostbusters II film, I valued the aspects of so many who contributed so much in terms of character and story.”
“I believe all those who will view this film will appreciate it and its subject matter in a welcoming, graceful way. And those who were part of it originally who aren’t fortunate enough be on this earth to see it, they would be incredibly proud of the diligence, thoughtfulness, and power of these two – a team of a sister and brother from England – who against the odds of traditional Hollywood brought this doc to the screen,” Edelman’s statement continues. “I was around for both so I feel qualified to make this commentary.”
