Although Dawson’s Creek cutie Joshua Jackson won’t be appearing on Grey’s Anatomy due to that pesky writers’ strike, he will be coming to a theatre near you with the psychological thriller Shutter.
The chilling tale - which is actually a remake of a Thai film - concerns a newly married couple portrayed by Jackson and Rachel Taylor who head to Japan to work on a fashion shoot. Once engrossed in the project, eerie images begin appearing in the photographs as a way for the dead to communicate with the living.
“Personally what attracted me to the character was that if you’re playing a straight-ahead drama, generally the transition that a character goes through, while it might be internally severe, is from sort of A to hopefully Z, but usually is from A to H or I,” the 29-year-old said of his interest in the production. “When you’re doing a horror film, you have the potential of doing something much broader and much more shocking of a shift. So for me to be able to start here and then up as somebody totally different is fun for me.”
Jackson, whose career is quickly gaining momentum once again, is also set to return to television. He will be starring on J.J. Abrams’ new series Fringe.
“It’s a sci-fi show that is, say that if Shutter is just on the far side of the paranormal boundary, than this would be just on this side,” Jackson stated. “It’s the science part of science fiction.”
Shutter opens on Friday, March 21st and is said to be one hell of a ride. If this suspenseful spookfest captures your interest, you may also enjoy: Pulse, White Noise, The Grudge, Final Destination 3 and 1408.
