GOTHIKA PLOT REVEALED
Warner Brothers dropped a start-of-production press release in our Inbox today announcing that this year’s Dark Castle film, GOTHIKA, is currently underway in its shoot up in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, having begun on April 10th. The nine week shoot will go down ‘in and around Montreal’ with an eye for an October 2003 release, but the main reason this is interesting to FANGORIA readers is the plot breakdown:
‘GOTHIKA tells the story of Dr. Miranda Grey (Halle Berry), a dedicated and successful criminal psychologist who awakens to find herself a patient in her own mental institution with no memory of the murder shes apparently committed. She soon learns that her husband was brutally murdered three days earlier, and the bloody evidence points directly at her. With no memory of that night except for a cryptic encounter with a mysterious young girl, the doctors behavior becomes increasingly erratic. Her claims of innocence are seen by her friends, colleagues and former patients as the beginnings of a deep descent into madness. As Miranda struggles to reclaim her sanity she soon realizes shes become the pawn of a vengeful spirit. Now she must quickly determine if she is being led farther from her sanity or closer to the truth.
This supernatural thriller also stars Penelope Cruz who plays Chloe, a hauntingly beautiful yet dangerously disturbed young patient; Robert Downey Jr. portrays Dr. Pete Graham, Berrys skeptical colleague and friend; and Charles S. Dutton plays Dr. Doug Grey, Berrys husband and chief administrator of the prison psychiatric ward.’
See? Sometimes press releases are just chockful of information. GOTHIKA is being directed by Mathieu (CRIMSON RIVERS) Kassovitz from a screenplay by Sebastian Gutierrez.
