You ever get that feeling like the production company of certain movies just start to give up when they don’t know what to do with it? That’s exactly how I feel the thriller AWAKE is being dealt with.
Anyways, with only a week before it’s release, MGM released some stills of the film, which sadly are pretty uninteresting. If you head over to Filmz.ru you can check out the new stills.
If you haven’t heard of AWAKE, I’m not surprised with the lack of marketing that has been put into the film. Well anyways, the film sounds pretty interesting, and is:
a psychological thriller that tells the story of a man undergoing heart surgery while experiencing a phenomenon called “anesthetic awareness,” which leaves him awake but paralyzed throughout the operation. As various obstacles present themselves, his wife must make life-altering decisions while wrestling with her own personal drama.
Though it vaguely reminded me of the excruciatingly painful to watch SUBLIME, this may just be a bit better. The film was written and directed by Joby Harold and stars Jessica Alba, Hayden Christiansen and Terrence Howard. It opens November 30th.
