The report ofPretty Womancenters on high - oddment accompaniment Vivian Ward and her relationship with Gere ’s Edward Lewis , a businessman who hires her to be his appointment for several functions .
The moving-picture show sell the highest numeral of slate for a romantic comedy at the time . set for inflation , it presently sits at identification number four , according to Box Office Mojo , behindHitch . Amid all of that , however , Blum think that there might be something there to make a horror celluloid out of , and he ’s credibly right .
Speaking exclusively to ScreenRant , Blum talk about the tone of the upcomingHappy Death Day . The film take the same motif used inGroundhog Dayand applies it to a horror motion-picture show . Happy Death Dayisn’t funny , but when ask what other " clowning " deserved the horror movie handling , Blum mentionedPretty fair sex :
That ’s a good inquiry . Another drollery that there could be a horror interpretation of it ? Pretty Woman would in reality make a great one . I ’m going to go with that one . I love that musical theme .
The plot ofHappy Death Dayfollows Tree , a sorority girl who spends her birthday stalk by a sequent sea wolf in a baby mask . When she " give way , " she wake up again and is forced to relive her death over and over unless she can find her killer . Its trailer is pretty unsettling , and for a image that ’s mostly used in comedy movies , Blumhouse is using it to good terrible force .
Admittedly there ’s a lot that could be done withPretty Woman . Blumhouse ’s trail disk has turned to timely repulsion films like the blockbusterGet Outand dark thrillers likeSplit . TurningPretty Womaninto a horror film contend with consent and possession could sour the concept behind the 4th high-pitched gross romantic comedy into a well timed social story . There are a pot of directions that the narration could go in - either a thriller , a societal , or a strictly horrific direction . Here ’s go for for repugnance fans ' sake that Blum holds onto the idea and cause something interesting out of it .
