It has been awfully quiet on the internet, on the DTF message boards especially, about Miramax's DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. The film is set to be release in 2011 and stars Katie Holmes and Guy Pearce.
Oh yeah, and it is scripted by Guillermo Del Toro and Matthew Robbins (the writing team last collaborated on MIMIC (1997) - also a Miramax film).
This will be the first true GDT horror film since MIMIC that involves monsters in dark places. So why the lack of buzz?
Is it because it is just getting started? The actors are in Melbourne shooting as we speak...
Is it because GDT isn't directing? (the task belongs to unknown talent Troy Nixey)
Is it because tabloid maven Katie Holmes is a turn-off for some?
I'm not sure of the answer, but I do know this is something to get excited about.
If anyone has seen the original 1973 TV movie, let us know what we can expect!

That's what I get for not paying attention to films headlined by Katie Holmes.
Didn't realize Troy Nixey (or maybe I forgot) was directing this. He's the genius behind some of Mignola's best non-Hellboy work.
