A Teasing Look at THE EYE

The first teaser has appeared online for the Jessica Alba starring horror film, THE EYE, courtesy of Yahoo Trailers & Clips. This is a remake of the 2003 Hong Kong horror film by the same name and it stars Jessica Alba, Parker Posey, Alessandro Nivola, Tamlyn Tomita and Chloe Moretz. It was directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud but another director Patrick Lassier was brought into the project for some reshoots in early August. The horror film was produced by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner with Mike Elliott, Don Granger and Michelle Manning serving as executive producer.

Plot Concept: Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) is an accomplished, independent, Los Angeles-based concert violinist. She is also blind, and has been so since a childhood tragedy. As our story opens, Sydney undergoes a double corneal transplant, a surgery she has waited her whole life to have, and her sight is restored. After the surgery, neural ophthalmologist Dr. Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola) helps Sydney with the difficult adjustment, and with the support of her older sister Helen (Parker Posey), Sydney learns to see again.

But Sydney's happiness is short-lived as unexplainable shadowy and frightening images start to haunt her. Are they a passing aftermath of her surgery, Sydney's mind adjusting to sight, a product of her imagination, or something horrifyingly real? As Sydney's family and friends begin to doubt her sanity, Sydney is soon convinced that her anonymous eye donor has somehow opened the door to a terrifying world only she can now see.
