“The Grudge” reboot has a killer cast and its presence at New York Comic Con certainly brought the goods! The audience was treated to new footage, which hasn’t made its way online as yet, but a poster has. and producer Sam Raimi revealed a little bit of what to expect in the horror.
“It’s kind of a lore that keeps going. Both the lore and the curse. When someone dies in a terrible rage, something dark is there and it won’t let go. That’s a story that’s as relevant today as always.”
Director Nicholas Pesce was also present at the panel, noting:
“It was about finding that balance, we’re not rehashing the same stories you’ve seen before, but finding those key elements. The Grudge can happen anywhere. Obviously we don’t want to throw everything out. There’s odes to the old films, both visually and stylistically, but it is a whole new story.”
The cast includes Lin Shaye, Demian Bichir, Andrea Riseborough, John Cho, Betty Gilpin, Jacki Weaver and Frankie Faison.
The film hits theatres January 3, 2020 from Sony Pictures. Check out the new poster below, courtesy of @Krueger_News!
