Milla Jovovich Loses Faces in the Crowd

October 28, 2009


Milla Jovovich will star in writer/director Julien Magnat's psychological thriller Faces in the Crowd for Forecast Pictures, Radar Films and Minds Eye Entertainment, reports Variety.

The story centers on a woman who barely survives an attack by a serial killer and wakes up in hospital with a head injury that leaves her "face-blind." No longer able to recognize faces, she must navigate a world in which facial features change each time she loses sight of them. All the while the killer is closing in, determined to eliminate the potential witness.

The screenplay deals with the real-life neurological disorder called prosopagnosia.

Filming is set to begin in March.

I learned about that in my psyche class and that **** is pretty weird. We even watched videos of people who suffered from it, something prevents their brain from being able to put the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. together. They can see each part individually but they can't put it together.

this sounds pretty damn cool. and Milla Jovovich is really branching out from Res Evil movies with all these thriller-type roles. Lovin it.

@Jude Law? Nope, this is not like 'Blink', the girl in that had trouble seeing after an operation, the girl in this movie has the very specific neurological disorder prosopagnosia, good try though.

Kudos to the movie's producers for coming up with an original movie idea, they are very rare these days.
