All-New "Ultraviolet" & "Wicker Man" Pics

by | January 5, 2006 | Comments

Thanks to ComingSoon.net for sharing two sets of pictures from two highly-anticipated genre flicks: Kurt Wimmer & Milla Jovovich‘s "Ultraviolet" and Neil LaBute‘s remake of the classic shocker "The Wicker Man."

Upcoming Horror Movies has pics from "The Wicker Man," which is a remake of the 1973 British chiller and stars Nicolas Cage, Leelee Sobieski, Molly Parker, and Ellen Burstyn.

"Cage plays a reclusive sheriff who goes to search for his astranged daughter after she mysteriously disappears on a secluded island. When he arrives, he senses something more is amiss among the island’s secretive residents as he starts to uncover a mystery involving strange sexual rituals, a harvest festival and possible human sacrifice."

MillaJ.com is where you’ll find the pics from "Ultraviolet," which stars Milla Jovovich, of course, and is directed by the man who brought you "Equilibrium." Co-starring alongside the "Resident Evil" butt-kicker are Nick Chinlund, William Fichtner, and Cameron Bright.

"Set in the late 21st century, a subculture of humans have emerged who have been modified genetically by a vampire-like disease (Hemophagia), giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence, and as they are set apart from "normal" and "healthy" humans, the world is pushed to the brink of worldwide civil war (a war between humans and hemophages) aimed at the destruction of the "diseased" population. In the middle of this crossed-fire is – an infected woman – Ultraviolet (Jovovich), who finds herself protecting a nine-year-old boy who has been marked for death by the human government as he is believed to be a threat to humans."

Sony’s Screen Gems outfit plans to release "Ultraviolet" on Feb. 24th. WB’s "Wicker" remake doesn’t have a date set just yet, but you’ll most likely see it before the holiday season.
