How Much Do You Love ‘Event Horizon’?!
Before Paul W.S. Anderson became a soul-sucking filmmaker responsible for more than a handful of crap, he directed the incredible Event Horizon, which came out on this day in 1997.
Inspired by such films as Hellraiser and the 1989 The Leviathan (which lifted from The Thing and Aliens), we revisited Anderson’s sci-fi classic a few times last year.
Firstly, we shared these grotesque screen grabs from the terror that flashes across the screen throughout the movie.
Second, Evan Dickson wrote an article polling Bloody readers asking, what do you think of Event Horizon now?!
In the film starring Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill and Kathleen Quinlan, a rescue crew investigates a spaceship that disappeared into a black hole and has now returned…with someone or something new on-board.
Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
