Recently we've seen Olivia Wilde in the likes of Her, Rush and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. But if you were thinking that what's been long missing from her CV is a horror thriller, look no further than this new trailer for The Lazarus Effect. Wilde dies and comes back to life again. For science!
Wilde stars with Mark Duplass, Donald Glover and Evan Peters as one of a group of scientists investigating the reanimation of dead tissue. Sadly an electrical accident finishes her off mid-experiment, leading her colleagues to continue their work on Wilde herself. But when she comes back she's not quite the same as when she left.
Bits of Flatliners and The Eye in that set-up, but hopefully the full movie will effectively tread its own path. David Gelb (the rather different Jiro Dreams Of Sushi) is the director; Luke Dawson (Shutter) and Jeremy Slater (the new Fantastic Four) are the writers; and The Lazarus Effect has risen from Jason Blum's prolific Blumhouse company. It's out in the US on February 27, but we don't have a date in the UK so far.
