Karl Urban, Adriana Barraza plunge into 'Darkness'

Karl Urban and Adriana Barraza have signed on to star in Marcos Efron's upcoming remake "And Soon the Darkness."

The Hollywood Reporter says the two are joining the already cast Amber Heard ("Remember the Daze") and Odette Yustman ("The Unborn").

The plot centers on two American girls who are enjoying a lovely a bike trip in Argentina when one of them disappears and the other one must find her before darkness falls.

The story here sounds like something we've seen many times before, but with Heard and Yustman in the lead roles, there's plenty to look at for sure.

Review: "The Unborn"

Seen on: January 10, 2009

The players: Director: David S. Goyer, Writer: David S. Goyer, Cast: Gary Oldman, Odette Yustman, Cam Gigandet, Jane Alexander, Meagan Good

Facts of interest: Goyer also directed "The Invisible" and "Blade: Trinity."

The plot: A young woman is haunted by an unborn spirit.

Our thoughts: David S. Goyer’s “The Unborn” is an incredibly lame horror flick, and I admit I found it utterly painful to sit through the whole thing without falling asleep or wanting to leave the theater. I know it sounds bad, but this is only the year’s first official week of new releases, and we’re already off to a disappointing start.

'The Unborn' web reviews

In David S. Goyer's latest horror flick "The Unborn," Odette Yustman stars as a young woman who's haunted by a spirit that wants to be born right now. Sounds quite silly. Here's what some online critics have to say about the film, which also stars Meagan Good, Gary Oldman and Cam Gigandet:

• Peter Martin at Cinematical: "Without any distractions -- like memorable characters, stirring dramatic conflicts, or even cheap thrills -- we're obligated to note the yawning holes in the plot and perplexing gaps in logic."

• JimmyO at Joblo: "If feels like fragments of several movies placed together with some odd editing and a way too familiar feel."

• Ron Henriques at LatinoReview: "Still, it looks like Goyer put some thought into the overall work as a whole and for a horror flick that can at times be subtle, the picture ain't all that bad."

• FilmSchoolRejects' Rob Hunter: "Bottom line, there’s nothing new or interesting here. Scary kids? Been done a million times before, usually better. Ditto the nightmares, the exorcism, etc."

Five funny 'The Unborn' clips

Yes, I say funny because most of these clips just made me laugh. I know they're supposed to be scary and all, but check them out for yourself and let me know what you think.

Of course, the movie in question here is David S. Goyer's upcoming horror flick "The Unborn," which stars Odette Yustman as a young woman who is hunted by an evil spirit that wants to be born, like, right now.

Sure, it all sounds ridiculous, and judging by the footage after the jump, it really is. One clip that really made me crack up is the second one, during which Yustman says, "I need an exorcism performed." Wow, what a line.

Anyway, "The Unborn" also stars Gary Oldman, Meagan Good, Jane Alexander, Cam Gigandet and Carla Gugino. The birth of the flick is scheduled for Jan. 9, 2009. I'm eager to read your reactions to these clips.

'The Unborn' international poster debuts

The folks at Empire posted the new international poster (see after the jump) for David S. Goyer's upcoming thriller "The Unborn," yet another one of those flicks in which pissed-off ghosts bother the living.

Who agrees with me that the only interesting thing about this one-sheet is probably Odette Yustman's butt? Other than that, this international version looks even crappier than the domestic poster.

In the film, Yustman plays a young woman haunted by an evil spirit that wants to be born. Sounds pretty ridiculous right?

Anyway, Gary Oldman, Cam Gigandet, Meagan Good, Jane Alexander and Carla Gugino co-star. If you dig this stuff, I'm sure you'll get your money's worth when the film opens Jan. 9, 2009.

Final word: If Yustman ("Cloverfield") runs around like this for most of the film, it may actually end up being watchable. Who knows...

New 'Unborn' pics surface on web

David S. Goyer returns to the big screen with "The Unborn," a horror thriller about a young woman (Odette Yustman) haunted by an unborn spirit. Yeah, I know it doesn't sound particularly innovative.

Anyway, a bunch of new stills from the upcoming flick surfaced on the Web this morning, and I've included some of them right here. Joblo posted the hot one above and the first one after the jump. The last one comes from ShockTillYouDrop.

Gary Oldman, Cam Gigandet, Meagan Good, Jane Alexander and Carla Gugino round out the cast. As for Goyer, he also directed the disappointing "The Invisible" and "Blade: Trinity." On a more positive note, he also worked on the story for "The Dark Knight" with Christopher Nolan.

"The Unborn" will see daylight in theaters Jan. 9, 2009.

'The Unborn' trailer is alive

The shabby horror thrillers just keep coming, don’t they? Wait, let me rephrase that. The shabby trailers for horror thrillers just keep coming. Although I’ll certainly give the flick a fair chance, the footage below doesn’t really promise us anything we haven’t seen yet too many times over the past years.

Directed by David S. Goyer, “The Unborn” follows a young woman (Odette Yustman) haunted by an unborn spirit. Gary Oldman, Meagan Good, Jane Alexander and Carla Gugino co-star. The film opens Jan. 9, 2009. Goyer most recently directed the mediocre “The Invisible.”

Enjoy the trailer (via MTV) right after the jump. And watch out for a short Matt Damon cameo. Can you spot him?
