Pre-screening hints
- This early 2000’s film is considered to have redefined and revived a particular film genre. This was considered to be the breakout role for the lead actor that later went on to win an Academy Award in a film released in the last few years. Stephen King is a huge fan of the movie and paraphrases one of the lines from the movie in his novel, “Doctor Sleep”. The film was filmed with “primitive digital tech" and was one of the first mainstream films to be shot entirely digitally. This has led some to say it was filmed with a pink Motorola Razr or on a Samsung refrigerator. I was able to find a copy that was remastered and looks pretty good. This will be the 17th movie we have seen from the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list. This is the 5th film from the director that has directed 34 films.
