Toss Megan Fox in this b**ch, and you've got the greatest movie of all time....

....without as much as using a script or paying attention to production design or cinematography. Of course not really, but the only ways this one could be a total waste of time are if they decide to go the animated route or try some new "avant-garde" all-black screen technique.

Some obscure British thriller from 1970 called And Soon The Darkness is being remade, which centers on "two American girls on a bike-riding trip in a remote part of the country. When one of them goes missing, the other must find her before darkness falls and her worst fears are realized. The original was set in France and tackled the idea of how vulnerable a stranger in a strange land can be." [Bloody-Disgusting.com] I've already tossed the '70 flick high up into the Netflix, so I'll see how worthy of a revisit it truly is soon enough. The reason why this new spin has the potential to be the best-looking piece of cinema this side of an The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (narrative faults and sentimentality overload aside, that film does look absolutely stunning), though, is the casting of the two female leads:

Amber Heard


Odette Yustman


Yustman is lacking in acting, sure. Heard is positioning herself as a credible Scream Queen but has yet to prove her thespian chops, indeed. You know what, though? I'm a sheep, so chances are super-likely that I'll adore this And Soon The Darkness redo even if it plays out worse than Yustman's The Unborn.
