Return to January
For a movie which I knew almost nothing about, I’m suddenly receiving an awful lot of information about The Return. A supernatural thriller that, while made in North America, seems to have it’s share of stylistic similarities to Japanese ghost stories, The Return stars Sarah Michelle Gellar as a woman guided by murdered spirits trying to find the killer. Today Yahoo Movies posted a number of clips, as well as the trailer, and it seemed as if Rogue Pictures was finally pumping out the advertisments in time for the film’s November 10th release date.
But wait. According to Arrow in the Head (via The Movie Blog), The Return is moving to January 19th.
As most film fanatics know, the early months of the year as usually reserved for studios dumping projects that they really don’t have much faith in (BLOODRAYNE, BIG MOMMA’S HOUSE 2, WHEN A STRANGER CALLS, and so on).
Odd considering the clips they just posted. That and both the Yahoo site and the official site still have Nov. 10th as the release date. Maybe it isn’t as bad a situation as they’re making it out to be. After all, Hostel opened in January and it did very well.
