Carla Gugino will play the lead opposite Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in Race to Witch Mountain, says the Hollywood Reporter. The Disney reimagining of its 1975 tween thriller Escape to Witch Mountain will also star actor/director Garry Marshall, Alexander Ludwig and AnnaSophia Robb. Gunn Films' Andrew Gunn is producing, and his company's Ann Marie Sanderlin is executive producing from Mark Bomback's recent script. The film is set to begin shooting this month in Los Angeles.
Plot Concept: In Andy Fickman's feature, Gugino will play a discredited astrophysicist and UFO expert who meets up with a Las Vegas cab driver (Johnson). He asks for her extraterrestrial expertise to help a pair of psychic siblings escape the clutches of evil men and save the human race from impending doom.
Marshall plays a government and UFO conspiracy theorist/fringe scientist who helps them in their quest. Alexander Ludwig and AnnaSophia Robb play the siblings.
Race to Witch Mountain will hit theaters March 13, 2009.
SPOILER WARNING...? lol, incase there is actually someone on here who hasn't seen the original.
I hope this turns out well, the Witch Mountain films were some of my favorites growing up. I'm kind of sad they are including a lot of new UFO talk during the movie though, as the whole alien angle wasn't revealed until the very end of the first movie. There's nothing like mudding down the suprise ending for new young fans.
Hopefully it gets a hard PG or PG13. They should try and get the girl Kim whats her name and Christopher Lee from the original. Has she been in anything since Tuff Turf with James Spader.
Yay Carla.....I am glad to see her in more things. She is awesome. Sexy as hell.....ok, did the kids from the original movie annoy anyone else, or is it just me? Just looking at them made me want to fist fuck a midget....I think the remake will be pretty cool....Ultra, I figure that they figure that most people already know the story and there is no point hiding the fact that they are aliens.
Whiskey wouldn't wanting to do that to midget infere you were turned pn by them?
Which reminds me about my idea for candy sold at porno theaters, call the Whatchamacallit the edible fist fuck cause its rough and smooth and silky and crunchy and milky.
Now all Carla needs is a TV series that the networks will let stay on the air. I was mad when Threshold was cancelled. I liked that show. Her previous TV experience hasn't been much better.
