Rogue Pictures has not only alerted us that they have pushed the release date on their upcoming horror The Hitcher up to January 19th, but have also provided some of the first stills for the film.
Movie Stills: The Hitcher
From filmmaker Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production company (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror) comes a remake of the 1986 terror classic. Dave Meyers is directing the new film, which tracks the terrifying cross-country trajectory of Grace (Sophia Bush) and Jim (Zachary Knighton), two traveling college students who are tormented by the mysterious hitchhiker John Ryder, a.k.a. The Hitcher (Sean Bean).
I have always been fond of Sean Bean and his multi-dimensional characters, so seeing him return as a villain is a bit disheartening. I guess it is a win-lose, however, with Sophia Bush at least providing some very horroresque eye candy.
