Cell with John Cusack

[herbertwest]

Beside this world premiere, IMDB still list no release date...

The fact that no one seems willing to distribute it doesn't inspire confidence in the finished product.

Maybe they finally read the ending to the book? Hardy har har.

Maybe I should go visit my inlaws for being in Glasgow that same weekend

I'm not sure I'd go too far out of my way to see this one...

Apparently, I could get a flight for 100€ return from Paris to Glasgow. But add everything else and that would easily become a 200€+ or more for that movie. Cant afford that for a movie that they dont really seem to care about.

A friend just posted this info...

FrightFest
Due to circumstances beyond our control, mainly a shift in release dates, we have had to pull CELL from our line-up. Sorry about that but there’s absolutely nothing we can do and believe us we tried.

Ahaha ! Such a cursed movie.

Interesting - always makes me wonder what's going on behind the scenes.

We can assume they have no faith in the movie or it would be on the radar - but hopefully they throw it on Netflix streaming just to get it out there. But when they bury a movie like this, it's usually a trainwreck.

The article a few threads made a good point - in 2007/08, this would have been been an early addition to the 28 Days Later genre...but now with Walking Dead, the same premise has been done, and probably done a lot better...

That's a shame. I wasn't overly thrilled with the book, but I love John Cusak, and anything King is always welcome.

I loved the book. It's a shame they couldn't make the movie work. I'd still like to see it.

Interview with the director: Cell is set to give a signal boost to a new kind of zombie movie

New Shots of Samuel L. Jackson, John Cusack, and Isabelle Fuhrman

In 2020?

Counting Revival and 1408, this is's Samuel L. Jackson's third Stephen King film. I wonder how many other actors there are that have done as many SK adaptations or if he has the record for the most (I know there are a handful that have two, like Kathy Bates, Rob Lowe, Morgan Freeman, etc).

Jeffery DeMunn - He has appeared in 3 King movies (Shawshank Redemption/Green Mile/The Mist) he has also appeared in the TV mini-series 'Storm of the Century'

The winner of course is King himself as he has had cameo appearances in many of his movies

William Sadler was also in those three movies.

I was just looking up this movie yesterday.
Looks like Saban is mainly a VOD movie company based on their other movies.
Geez I haven't seen an SK movie in the movie theater since The Mist in 2007!

[CyberGhostface]

I just don't get how SK can be a huge name book-wise but not so movie-wise anymore.

It's a shame isn't it. Horror movies are pretty much low budget high return right now. No one is really willing to put a horror movie with a decent budget in theaters when they can make a shaky cam movie for 400k and get at least 1.3 mill back with little or no marketing.

I haven't read them but I'm sure if they make these Bill Hodges books into movie they will kill, people love them. Although they are more likely to do a low budget sci fi series akin to Haven/UTD so they can stretch out the premise and make "creative" changes.

[CyberGhostface]

And obviously I understand how one thing is different from the other but it's a shame that studios are willing to split something like 'The Hobbit' into three three-hour movies whereas 1,000 page novels like It and The Stand are being crammed into one.

Looks like an August 26th release to cinemas in the UK: http://www.film-news.co.uk/news/UK/3...-to-big-screen

[herbertwest]

A reliable source told me that the distributor told them it would be released in France on VOD only at the end of august, and then a few days later apparently it was postponed to beginning of september

If the movie is half as good as the trailer I think I'll like it.
