Jim Sheridan (IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE BOXER) directs this new creepy thriller starring Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, Marton Csokas, Elias Koteas, and Jane Alexander. Craig seems to have a lot coming out lately, all building up to his (hopefully) triumphant return to playing James Bond. The look of this seems effectively haunting, though advance word hasn’t been stellar. DREAM HOUSE will perhaps be known as the film where Craig and Weisz most likely fell in love… so I guess there’s at least that. Check out the poster above and trailer below and tell us your thoughts.
Some say that all houses have memories. For one man, his home is the place he would kill to forget. A family unknowingly moves into a home where several grisly murders were committed…only to find themselves the killer’s next target. Successful publisher Will Atenton (Craig) quit a job in New York City to relocate his wife, Libby (Weisz), and two girls to a quaint New England town. But as they settle into their new life, they discover their perfect home was the murder scene of a mother and her children. And the entire city believes it was at the hands of the husband who survived. When Will investigates the tragedy, his only lead comes from Ann Paterson (Watts), a neighbor who was close to the family that died. As Will and Ann piece together the disturbing puzzle, they discover that the story of the last man to leave Will’s dream house will be just as horrifying to the one who came next.
DREAM HOUSE opens September 30, 2011
Sorry I think both the trailer and the poster clearly say this film stars Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts…and Rachel Weisz.
