My Bloody Valentine: 3D starring Jensen Ackles (Supernatural, Smallville, Dark Angel and Dawson’s Creek), Jaime King (THE SPIRIT, SIN CITY, SIN CITY 2) and Kerr Smith (FINAL DESTINATION, “Dawson’s Creek”) doesn’t open in select theaters across the USA until January 16, 2009.
However, until then fans can check out the official online website for the movie. The web site features a full length theatrical trailer for this remake of the 1981 horror classic.
In this updated remake, aptly titled MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3-D which is directed by Patrick Lussier, produced by Jack Murray and filmed entirely on location in the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area, events of the movie are going to be presented in stunningly real, cutting edge 3-D projection.
Ten years ago, a tragedy changed the town of Harmony forever. Tom Hanniger (Jensen Ackles), an inexperienced coal miner, caused an accident in the tunnels that trapped and killed five men and sent the only survivor, Harry Warden, into a permanent coma. But Harry Warden wanted revenge. Exactly one year later, on Valentine’s Day, he woke up…and brutally murdered twenty-two people with a pickaxe before being killed.
Ten years later, Hanniger returns to Harmony on Valentine’s Day, still haunted by the deaths he caused. Struggling to make amends with his past, he grapples with unresolved feelings for his ex-girlfriend, Sarah (Jamie King), who is now married to his best friend, Axel (Kerr Smith) who is also the town sheriff. But tonight, after years of peace, something from Harmony’s dark past has returned. Wearing a miner’s mask and armed with a pickaxe, an unstoppable killer is on the loose. And as his footsteps come ever closer, Tom, Sarah and Axel realize in terror that it just might be Harry Warden who’s come back to claim them.
I can’t wait to see this movie. I’m a fan of the original and it looks like the remake will actually improve on an already good story. The choice of Jensen Ackels to play Tom is brilliant; he’s an amazing performer.
