In Mirrors, Kiefer Sutherland plays the head of security at a department store plagued by unexplained deaths. The store is also the target of demonstrators wanting compensation for an earlier staff fire tragedy. The man becomes intrigued by a disturbed woman. She claims her sister, who died in the fire, is exacting revenge, using mirrors as a gateway back into the living world.

The film stars Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Ezra Buzzington, Erica Gluck and Cameron Boyce, and is directed by Alexandre Aja.

Mirrors opens in theaters on August 15, 2008.

Maybe.

Either way, he’s coming out with a horror movie called Mirrors which is set for an August 15th release date. Some have thought it was another Japanese remake, but Paulington from Movieweb did an interview with director Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Frontiers) who corrected those rumors.

“We received a script from Regency called Into the Mirrors, and we didn’t know anything about the movie. When we read it, we didn’t connect with the story at all. We didn’t connect with the characters or the scares. But there was something about the simple idea of using the mirrors. When we started talking about the script, we realized that both men and women are constantly looking at themselves in the mirror. Who knows how many times in a day. Not just house mirrors, but people are constantly looking at themselves in rearview mirrors, water, glass. Anything that has a reflection. It’s just nuts. You may look at yourself ten times, thirty times, a hundred times in a day.

He goes on to say that other than the opening scene, it really has no resemblance of Into the Mirrors. The plot sounds intriguing, but the idea of mirrors freaks me out.

I always have enjoyed Sutherland, especially in his minor part in A Few Good Men, so I’m curious what kind of movie Mirrors will turn out to be.

Sutherland will play a security guard who gets wrapped up in a mystery surrounding a specific department store’s mirrors which seems to bring out the worst in people.

The movie also stars Amy Smart (Just Friends) and Paula Patton (Hitch)
