Red Lights
Millenium recently settled on a U.S. theatrical release day of the month for the indie extrasensory play / thrillerRed Lights . The studio was immediate to secure the celluloid ( appropriately ) a Friday the 13th release date this summer - one which opened up afterTedmoved ahead to take the June date previously take byG.I. Joe : revenge .
Red Lights ' remarkable cast is headed by Sigourney Weaver and Cillian Murphy as a pair of scientists , who make a life debunking"ghost whispering , faith healing and other psychical phenomena"by revealing the practical tricks ( or " blood-red lights " ) used to create such illusions . That is , until the couplet hail up against their greatest challenge yet : a seasoned , unreasoning psychic ( Robert De Niro ) whose abilities not only force his detractor to question their Congress of Racial Equality impression - but could potentially imperil their very lifespan .
Rounding out the acting squad forRed Lightsare renowned character thespians like Toby Jones ( The Hunger Games , Captain America ) , Joely Richardson ( Nip / Tuck , The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ) , Burn Gorman ( Torchwood , The Dark Knight Rises ) andScreen Rant Undergroundfavorite / acclaimed actress Elizabeth Olsen ( Martha Marcy May Marlene , Silent House ) . Writing and directing responsibility were handled by Rodrigo Cortés , who made a name for himself as a filmmaker with the much bombinate - about Ryan Reynolds - in - a - casket thrillerBuried(back in 2010 ) .
Similar to theinternational trailer(which features much of the same footage ) , this newRed Lightstheatrical promo outlines the key narrative of the film , but paint a pretty vague impression , when it come to the short details about why De Niro ’s character represents such a strong-arm threat to Murphy ’s skeptic ( … or does he ? ) . In this author ’s opinion , it feels as though the movie is being ( mis-)marketed as a mix of fast - pace bang and spooky jump panic - when , in realism , Red Lightsmay be closer to a slow - tan , psychotic person - drama , where it ’s not always clear what is really happening to Murphy ’s character ( and what he ’s just imagine ) .
The 2010 Sundance crowd was reasonably open to Cortés ' work onBuried , but the overall early reply toRed Lights(which showed at this year ’s festival ) has been more halfhearted by comparison . It probably wo n’t aid that the modish trailer is ponderous on the cheesy one - liners , offering tired variations on over - used phrase like"You do n’t know what you ’re dealing with!"(among others ) . Still , the shape and personnel department working behind - the - scene onRed Lightsis enough to suggest this motion-picture show could be estimable than the promos suggest .
With that said - check out the prescribed poster forRed Lightsbelow :
