"Stoker," the psychological thriller starring Mia Wasikowska, Matthew Goode and Nicole Kidman has started production in Nashville, Tenn.

Acclaimed Korean helmer Park Chan-wook ("Oldboy," "Thirst") is making his English-language debut from an original screenplay by the Wentworth Miller (star of "Prison Break"), who wrote under his pen name, Ted Foulke. Scott Free Productions’ Tony Scott, Ridley Scott and Michael Costigan are producing for Fox Searchlight Pictures

After India's (Wasikowska's) dad is killed in a car crash, her hiterto-unknown Uncle Charlie (Goode), moves in with her and her emotionally unstable mother (Kidman). The lonely India starts to suspect Charlie of having diabolical plans, but can't help bonding with him. Sounds a bit like Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt."

Dermot Mulroney and Jacki Weaver are also set to star.

The director is enough to get me interested, and the cast is just icing on the cake. Should be interesting.

Solid Snake

Oh cool Fox Searchlight. They'll let him do his thing for sure. That'd good.

Rypro 525

unless it takes Park 5 years to edit the movie

Trailer:



...looks like a Korean flick, but in English. For some reason that's more jarring than I thought it'd be.

EdTheRipper

Looks solid.

Dan

Is it R-rated and over two hours? Otherwise, why bother?

sleepyhead55

Looks great to me. I'm watching this whenever it's released.

The Bus

First weekend for sure.

Tarantino

That chick looks eerily like one of my ex-girlfriends.

If it's got Kidman in it, it's must-see for me. Goddamn, she's good. The NY Observer just wrote a good piece on the polarity of her career to coincide with the NYFF honoring her this year.

Why So Blu?

Nice. Wentworth Miller wrote this, too.

Might be good, Park Chan-Wook is one twisted bastard lets see what he comes up with.

Solid Snake

Good trailer, brings up some mystique to get to you want more. Big fan of PCW.

sharkstank

Indeed. The trailer is ok, but the director/cast is enough for me to be excited. Plus: "Hey Stoker, or do you go by Stroker now... since that's what I hear your moms been doing...to your uncle!"

HA!

GoldenJCJ

...the fuck?!

IMDB lists this as his only writing credit.

Why So Blu?

I remember it being in the trades a while ago and how he scored a deal. What was funny then was that it sounded like a total bore, but once Park got involved, I had to change my shorts.

Based on the title, I was expecting this to be a biopic about the author of Dracula.

Foulke’s Stoker, which has Carey Mulligan and Jodie Foster attached, has gotten some ink.

^ Damn, he went from attracting talent to.. replacing it with equally impressive talent.

DaveyJoe

Surprised the father isn't played by Sean Bean.

Tarantino

I hear he actually tattooed it on his body.

golden_rod

New international trailer with a lot of new footage. This flick looks gorgeous.

RichC2

Still don't really know what to make of it. Part of me thinks it looks like a movie you'd pick up for $5 from Walmart, the other part of me thinks it looks like it could be solid.

It has some great ingredients to it and I think Park Chan-wook is a solid director so I'll give it benefit of the doubt.

This will have a Limited Release in the US on March 1st, 2013. We'll see how it does.

Now where's the trailer for Snowpiercer?
