The remake of the Hong Kong film “Jian Gui”, a woman who receives an eye transplant that allows her to see into the supernatural world.

The history:

Sydney Wells, at the start of the film, is a successful classical violinist, although blind since the age of 5. She and her sister had been playing with fireworks and they had been set off too close to her face, damaging her corneas.

Now, nearly 20 years later, Sydney undergoes a cornea transplant which causes her vision, albeit blurry, to begin returning. At first, she is confused and disoriented, unable to understand if what she sees is “real” or not. During her first night with her new eyes, her bedmate at the hospital dies, and Sydney, not understanding, watches her blurry figure being led away by someone else. During her stay, she also befriends a young girl named Alicia, who is there undergoing surgery for a brain tumor.

As time goes on, Sydney’s vision begins to clear up and she struggles to understand the new world around her. Her therapist, Paul Faulkner, feels that her strange visions are her mind’s way of interpreting what it was never able to before: including visions of fire, death, and the number ‘106′. Her bedroom walls keep changing to stone and back again, and she sees what appears to be the ghosts of people around her, including a young woman who walks right through her in the street just before she sees her body lying on the ground.

When a Chinese diner suddenly explodes around her, she finds herself in the charred remains. She learns that the accident that burned the diner down occurred weeks prior, revealing that her visions are of the past. Fleeing back to her apartment, she viciously smashes every light source and covers her windows (and eyes). Days later, her therapist forces his way in and removes her blinds, telling her to return to the real world.

Upon discovering that the face that appears in the mirror is not her own (which she finds out through photographs of her in the past), she becomes desperate to figure out who and what is sending her these visions. She begs Paul for help and finally convinces him to drive her to Mexico (at the risk of losing his medical license), in order to find out what happened to her donor, Ana Cristina Martinez.

They go to Ana Christina’s house where they meet her mother, whose face looks slightly deformed. Sydney then sees a shadow behind Ana Christina’s mother just as she has a heart attack. As Paul takes her to the hospital, Sydney goes into Ana Christina’s room and sees more images. It turns out that young girl had committed suicide after failing to stop a factory fire that killed many of the people in the village and severely injured her own mother. After the fire, the deeply superstitious villagers, who had seen her crying outside the homes of people who were to die, believed she caused the disaster, and drove her to hang herself, calling her a witch and throwing stones at her.

Sydney and Paul return to the United States to discover the border is closed due to a high-speed chase on the other side. Dozens of vehicles are left stranded behind the closed gates. In the middle of the group of cars is a gas tanker with the number “106″ on the front and a camper with a young girl in it. Sydney puts the pieces together and realizes the images she kept seeing – the number 106, the bells, and the girl trapped in a fire – weren’t of the past, but of the future. She rushes out of the car, screaming at everyone to flee, telling them a bomb is on the bus. The people listen and flee, just as a car smashes through the police barriers and collides with the gas tanker. The tanker begins to leak gas and a spark causes the tanker to explode, destroying every vehicle in a chain-reaction down the highway. Sydney’s eyes are injured by flying glass during the explosion, and she ends up blind again but glad to have used her visions to save lives and give Ana peace.

 He says:

“I’m pretty sure we won’t do [another] one,” insisted “Fantastic Four” star Chris Evans, who excelled in two films as the Human Torch. “I’m assuming that one is a closed book.”

But….some two or 3 weeks ago both Jessica Alba and Michael Chiklis have expressed a strong desire to come back with a FF3.

Still, Evans confessed that he does want to leave the door a little ajar, citing Marvel’s recent success with character cross-pollination. If “Spider-Man” or “Hulk” came to him with a cameo, he’s be the first on board.

“Absolutely,” he enthused. “If Johnny Storm wanted to make a pop in appearance in one of those movies that would be a treat.”

I think the story haven’t yes finished, but in some 2 or 3 years wecan have maybe a new fantastic four tema. Who knows? Or I am wrong?

Alba does not have one simple craving. The 26-year-old craves food. Any type of food.

“Every couple of hours I turn into Satan if I don’t eat something,” Alba laughed during an interview in Los Angeles.

Wearing a red empire-waisted Gucci dress that exposes a slight baby bump, Alba believes “the gods answered my prayers” when she became pregnant to fiance Cash Warren last year.

The couple met while making the original Fantastic Four film four years ago.

“I was in shock at first,” Alba said when she first saw the positive pregnancy test.

“But we’re so happy.

“My family, everyone, are just thrilled.

“It all seems to be perfect timing.

“Everything fell into place the way it was meant to.”

A paparazzi favourite, particularly because of her expanding waistline, Alba is chased around Los Angeles every time she leaves her Hollywood Hills home.

Despite growing up in front of the public eye – she made her first movie when she was 14 – Alba is baffled by the attention she receives from photographers who trail her car to the supermarket or on other expeditions.

“When I started acting it wasn’t this bad,” Alba said.

“It’s bizarre and it seems like anybody can go buy a camera and call themselves a paparazzi and stalk people for a living.

“It’s really strange.

“I’m not doing anything interesting or salacious.

“I’m not trying to be out there.

“I’m just going to the gym or getting my groceries, normal stuff.”
Alba studied organ transplants and visited patients during her preparation for the film.

“It fascinated me that you can get an organ transplant and take on someone else’s experiences,” she said.

“It really happens, not necessarily with corneal transplants but with other organs.

“That was a really interesting thing to explore and to play someone who was so independent and so sure of herself with this handicap, but when she becomes sighted that’s when the real handicap comes into play and I just love that reverse mentality of it.”

* The Eye opens in Australia on March 27.

Well. I also think that the Silver Surfer is a nice caracter, but not insubstituible. The box office in the Silver Surfer was very bad comparing to the first version. So, it’s needed some changes, cause mantaining wath

As the wedding begins, Reed detects the object aproaching the New Yourk City. The object destroys the sensors while the Fantastic Four protect the crowd. But the Human Torch purches the object and discovers that he have human similarities, he is named Silver Surfer. He confronts the Surfer, only to be dragged into the upper atmosphere where the Surfer snuffs his flame out, then drops him back towards Earth. But… Johnny reactivates his powers and survives the fall. Reed’s examination of Johnny reveals that exposure to the Surfer has set Johnny’s molecular structure in flux, allowing him to switch powers with his teammates through physical contact. Tracing the cosmic energy of the Surfer, Reed discovers that a series of planets the alien had visited before Earth have all been destroyed. The Earth would be the next target.

The Surfer’s movements around the globe bring him past Latveria, where the cosmic energy affects Victor Von Doom, freeing him from two years as a metal statue. Doom, able to move again and returned to a human (wow), but scarred, form traces the Surfer to the Arctic and makes him an offer to join forces, what is this man? When the Surfer rebuffs him, Doom attacks. The Surfer returns fire, blasting Doom through the ice. The cosmic energy of the Surfer’s blast heals Doom’s body, reversing the changes seen in the first film.

Doom leverages his experience into a deal with the American military, who force the Fantastic Four to work with Doom. Deducing that the Surfer’s board is the source of his power, the group develops a pulse generator that will separate him from it. While setting up the device, Sue is confronted by the Surfer, during which he reveals he is a servant to the destroyer of worlds. The military opens fire on the Surfer, which distracts him and allows the four to fire the pulse, separating the Surfer from his board.

The military imprisons the Surfer in Siberia and forbids the Fantastic Four from interacting with him, while they torture him for information. Sue uses her powers to sneak into his cell, where she learns more information from the Surfer. He tells her his master was known by the people of his world as Galactus, a massive cloud-like cosmic entity which must feed on life-bearing planets to survive, and that his board is a homing beacon which even now summons him to the planet.

Doom, pursuing the power in the board, steals it from the compound, using a device to gain control of the board and its powers. The Fantastic Four rescue the Surfer, and pursue Doom in the Fantasticar, confronting him in Shanghai. During the battle, Sue is mortally wounded. With the Surfer powerless, Johnny absorbs the combined powers of the entire team in order to battle the cosmic energy-empowered Doom. Johnny succeeds in breaking Doom’s control over the Surfer’s board, while the Thing uses a nearby crane to knock Doom into the harbor where he is last seen sinking; however, Galactus has already arrived. The Surfer regains the control of his board, and his power restored. He revives Sue and chooses to defend Earth, flying into Galactus and confronting him. The conflict results in a massive blast of energy, apparently destroying Galactus.

The film ends with Reed and Sue marrying in Japan, but they are again interrupted when Venice is threatened.

The credits cut back to a shot of the Silver Surfer’s seemingly lifeless body floating through space. Just as he drifts off the edge of the screen his eyes open and his board races towards him.

Well. We don’t like to tell the story, but you just read because you wanted! hehe

Regards.
