Millennium Entertainment acquired the Sundance film Red Lights, which stars Cillian Murphy, Sigourney Weaver, Robert De Niro and Elizabeth Olsen. Despite the starpower, some buyers were turned off to the film, in which psychologist Margaret Matheson and her assistant study paranormal activity, which leads them to investigate a world-renowned psychic. Some were considering VOD bids, but that gave Millennium Entertainment an opportunity to make a 7-figure deal. It was directed by Rodrigo Cortes, who helmed Buried.

The Red Lights script is fantastic. Polarizing? Can someone explain?
Agreed – not sure it was “polarizing.” Frankly, I did not care for it.
I saw yesterday afternoon’s screening of Red Lights. Cortes came out before to lower expectations. Obviously he didn’t go low enough. Wasn’t going too badly until the third act. Then it went off the rails. The audience was laughing at all sorts of scenes. The guy doing the young DeNiro impersonation did a better job than DeNiro himself.
I think it could be saved with a re-edit of the third act and losing a bunch of stuff. For starters, Robert DeNiro yelling at Cillian Murphy not to come closer will save about 5 minutes there.
A re-edit… maybe? I can’t say I have a lot of faith in Millennium at this point. I might have thought them promising before but their 2011 distributions went nowhere… Eh. Who knows, though, right?
how’s the script?
Did not like it. Love Cillian Murphy in this, though.
