Deadline are reporting that Katherine Heigl is set to star in a new thriller entitled Face Blind, which will see the actress play “a psychologist struck with a rare affliction that makes it impossible to distinguish people by their faces. When a man who terrorized her most vulnerable patient stalks her, the psychologist can’t recognize him, and her husband thinks she’s the one who is going crazy.”
Er, can you say Faces in the Crowd? I know Hollywood can run out of ideas sometimes, but seriously, a REMAKE of a film that only came out last year? Or is this the usual case of someone reading a script for a movie and greenlighting a knock-off. In that case are we sure this isn’t another Asylum mockbuster? Faces in the Crowd was bad enough (check out my review) and adding Heigl to the cast is not going to improve on it in any way… But then when she’s producing the flick she can do what she damn well pleases I guess.
