Why you need to be there…David Cronenberg does Stephen King!
When he awakes from a five-year coma following a car accident, Johnny (Walken) discovers he has developed psychic abilities that allow him to see into the future. Having lost the woman he loves (and his job) during his time away from the world, he’s struggling to cope and tries to get on with his life. Unfortunately, when he bumps into a young and determined politician, he sees a future President of the United States who’s actions will destroy mankind.
Grimm’s Eye View: There’s no doubt about it, if Stephen King is a genre master who’s dark and twisted written visions have changed horror, then David Cronenberg is his cinematic equal. Here, Cronenberg takes on the Writer’s work and employs the legendary Christopher Walken to embody a man who must face his inner demons for the sake of humanity.
We can’t wait to show The Dead Zone to our audiences, as this is a film many will have never had chance to see – andf those who have may never have done so on the big screen.
