[Trailer] This Year’s Remake Puts a Whole New Spin on ‘Jacob’s Ladder’
Director David M. Rosenthal‘s remake of Jacob’s Ladder is finally being released by Vertical Entertainment this summer, with the new take on the 1990 classic debuting on DISH.
DISH will premiere Jacob’s Ladder in an exclusive July window, followed by a theatrical release on August 23. The trailer has arrived today, and you can check it out below via EW.
The plot is quite a bit different than the original film’s, but it looks like the new movie will be home to similar nightmare imagery. In Rosenthal’s Jacob’s Ladder, “After losing his brother in combat, Jacob Singer returns home from Afghanistan — only to be pulled into a mind-twisting state of paranoia. Singer soon realizes that his sibling is alive but life is not what it seems.”
Writer Jeff Buhler (The Prodigy, Pet Sematary) has promised a fresh new twist. Sarah Thorpe co-wrote the script with Buhler.
Michael Ealy (The Intruder), Jesse Williams (The Cabin in the Woods), Nicole Beharie (Shame, 42), and Karla Souza (How to Get Away with Murder) star.
Mickey Liddell, Pete Shilaimon and Jennifer Monroe at LD Entertainment produced alongside Alison Rosenzweig and Michael Gaeta of Gaeta/Rosenzweig Films (Fright Night).
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
