Sam Raimi-produced thriller to get a new title
Lionsgate has new plans for the release of the supernatural thriller Dibbuk Box.
The Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert-produced flick is now set to open January 6, 2012. It was originally slated for October 28.
Further, Lionsgate presently has the film listed on its publicity site as “Untitled Sam Raimi Horror Project,” which means it will not be arriving under the “Dibbuk Box” moniker.
Directed by Ole Bornedal, the film is a fictional retelling of Los Angeles Times writer Leslie Gornstein’s article “Jinx in a Box” about an antique wooden box purchased on eBay which reportedly had been brought to America by a Holocaust survivor after World War II. The box, supposedly containing an evil spirit, brought devastating effects to a series of buyers. Inspired by these real events, “Dibbuk Box” centers around a cursed relic containing mysterious familial tokens that is mistakenly purchased and its new owner must solve its mystery to save her own family.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick star.
