Guy Pearce Plunged Into Darkness!

According to Chud, the remake of the seventies TV movie classic “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” has just found a lead.  Yup, it’s LA Confidential and Time Machine alum Guy Pearce.

Pearce will be joining Katie Holmes in this story of a house overrun by small demons.

Here’s a taste of the original complete with some old commercials to get you in the mood:

The original TV movie starred Kim Darby (True Grit), Jim Hutton (The Green Berets), and William Demarest (“My Three Sons”) and was director by John Newland (“One Step Beyond”).  And it’s well worth your time if you can hunt down a copy.
