Scramble for your calendar and mark down August 12 as FilmDistrict and Miramax today announced that FilmDistrict has acquired all U.S. rights to Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and that a wide release has been scheduled for said date!!
The film was originally set for January 21, 2011 but the release was put on hold due to Disney selling Miramax.
Produced by Guillermo del Toro and Mark Johnson, the film stars Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce, Bailee Madison and Jack Thompson and marks the directorial debut of Troy Nixey.
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is a remake of a 1973 TV movie bearing the same title, considered by del Toro to be among the scariest ever made. The film was co-written by Del Toro and Matthew Robbins.
"The film follows Sally (Bailee Madison), a young girl who moves to Rhode Island to live with her father (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes) in the 19th-century mansion they are restoring.
Having stumbled upon the mansion’s hidden basement, Sally starts hearing voices calling out from the bolted ash pit, imploring her to open it. Sally obliges and unwittingly unleashes something so terrible, so unthinkable, that everyone’s life – hers most of all - is placed in immediate and grave danger."
