John Cusack will be starring in the new movie adapted from the Stephen King short story 1480, and now you can catch more than a glimpse of it in the new trailer. The good folks over at filmjunk.com made us aware of the trailer.
Click here to see 1480.
Here’s the premise:A man who specializes in debunking paranormal occurrences checks into the fabled room 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel. Soon after settling in, he confronts genuine terror. It also stars Samuel L. Jackson and Mary McCormack and it is directed by Mikael Hafstrom.
Ok so it’s pretty much your standard fright style Stephen King movie but…the trailer does look pretty cool. With most of King’s books as well as his movies it isn’t usually the stories that are so interesting as the characters in them, this is no exception. I think that Cusack is the right choice and just from the trailer I can see some effort being put forth on his part to do something interesting with his character. The trailer itself is a bit too long, gives a little too much information, there is nothing worse than when you feel like you’ve already seen the film at the end of a trailer.
The movie looks alright, nothing too get excited about, but it will probably be one of those rainy day, matinee, lets go out and scream kind of movies.
