Finally, I can talk about this little film I had a tiny hand in helping get made. Finally the movie will get the release it deserves with the marketing it deserves on tons of screens with our ‘R’ rating intact. Finally you will get to see this movie in a hopefully packed house right as the summer movie season is losing its big superhero stuff and allowing the smaller, more unique fare to get its day in the sun.

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. August 12th.

Why you need to see it:

  • It’s great.
  • It’s the debut feature from Troy Nixey, a friend of mine who I…
  • introduced to my gentlemanly friend Guillermo del Toro, who…
  • wrote and produced it, channeling…
  • his love of monsters and dark and scary places on the fringe of the world we know.
  • It’s produced by the legendary Mark Johnson, the amazing Tom Williams, the superb Bill Horberg…
  • and a whole mess of other people…
  • including me.
  • But really, it features monsters who want to devastate a little girl…
  • and that’s all you need to know.

Guy Pearce. Katie Holmes. Bailee Madison. From Miramax and FilmDistrict.
