ROTTEN TOMATOES: Exclusive Trailer: Jessica Alba in The Eye

Exclusive Trailer: Jessica Alba in The Eye

Check out the pair on her!

by Jen Yamato | November 26, 2007

We'd wager many moviegoers would happily fork over their ten bucks to see a movie about body parts starring Jessica Alba. Now you can watch AskMen's Number One Most Desirable Woman put her peepers on display in the trailer premiere for The Eye, exclusively on RT!

Hollywood has been itching for years to remake the original 2003 horror pic, written and directed by Hong Kong horror team Danny and Oxide Pang. Now Lionsgate presents the tale of the world's worst post-surgical side effect for your viewing pleasure, which hits theaters February 1, 2008.

Click for Jessica's Eye

In The Eye, Jessica Alba is a beautiful young concert violinist named Sydney Wells. Blind since childhood, Sydney undergoes a corneal transplant in both eyes that allows her to see for the first time in years. But when she begins to see things -- freaky things -- she suspects her anonymous organ donor passed on more than just a pair of eyeballs...

The original Eye, which garnered a 69 percent Tomatometer, spawned two sequels (The Eye 2 and The Eye 10) which were also directed by the Pang Brothers. This time around, a mess of Hollywood types are involved -- Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner producing, Sebastian Gutierrez (Gothika, Snakes on a Plane) scripting, and the duo of David Moreau and Xavier Palud (who co-directed last year's French horror pic Them) at the helm in their English-language debut. Also along for the spooky ride in the supporting cast are Parker Posey, Alessandro Nivola, and Rade Serbedzija.

Check out the trailer premiere here!

I don't get it. If this ability comes from the donated eye, then how come she can also hear the dead?

That, Bardego, is a good question. Guess we'll have to watch the movie to find out!

Also, how the hell does she know that her vision is blurry, she has never seen anything in her life, she wouldn't know what blurry is.

yeah, i bet these good questions will never be answered, hence, this movie will suck major testicles, probably that of elephant proportion.

This is a Remake of a Japanese horror movie.. Just like the Ring, The Grudge, Dark Water, Ect. I hope they don't mess this up. The Japanese film was scary as hell!

Well, it can't suck more than the original did. Or can it? Hollywood loves to suck!

Please, Rotten Tomatoes, don't actively seek out ****ty movies to write about! How god damn stupid are you? Whose side are you on?

And EwoknRoll, the original definitely was not Japanese. Pan-Asian in cast and crew, shot in Thailand and Hong Kong, but not Japanese.

I can not believe that the american remake is even remaking the exact same grammatic mistake the chinese one did. All of your complains also exist in the original movie. What made the original so great is that it was just very refreshing to see a asian scary movie that does not use like a lot of splatters and blood.

Just because all Asians look the same doesn't mean they are all Japanese. Does anyone know Hong Kong at all? The stupid presenter at the Oscars labeled Infernal Affairs as a Jap movie as well? Retards!

I, myself, am the proud owner of transplanted corneas, so this movie sounds fascinating to me.

Keep your contacts clean, folks.

why does this *****(alba) keep getting roles? she can't freakin' act. I would never forgive her for destroying Susan Storm's legacy on Fantastic Four with her lazy on screen presence. Don't even get me started on Honey, Into the Blue, Good Luck Chuck and the list goes on. All her movies have flopped but she still gets roles? are you kidding me? her upcoming movie "Awake" is equally bound to flop. She belongs on the covers on Maxim and not in front of the camera.

The trailer makes this film look just like the original version, am I the only one that thought this trailer gave waaay too much away? I enjoyed the original so seeing the same film just with different actors can't be that bad of a thing, can it? Just makes it more relatable, and really who among us can judge acting ability, sometimes it can just be a bad director or awkward lines, why is the actor always judged so personally when they're attractive and their name is everywhere, but when they are no-names, the director is the one condemned? Sorry bout the bad writing, I think I've ad too much sake (doesn't make me any less relevant[I hope])

Two thoughts

1. When an actor consistently gives poor performances, you can't blame the director. That would mean every director she works with is incompetent (which COULD also be true). If she was good, we would have noticed by now, she's had plenty of chances to prove herself.

2. If you knew what you were looking at, the trailer would give too much away. But what's really disapointing to me is the trailer certainly looks like they've remained faithful to the entire original story. I'm not a fan of the original film. The early parts where everything was blury were creepy, but once she could see the movie pretty much went down the crapper-

there was one amazing sequence/twist about 2/3rds of the way through the film. I was really hoping they'd keep this and rework much of the rest of the film- but it certainly looks like they've kept the same moronic ending the original had. I'm disapointed.

Looks like the same ending. I think she's an ok actress (actor) but I could be biased cuz I think she's hot.

It all sounded pretty lame to me until I got to the "Parker Posey is involved" part.

I also believe she can't act. I am also tired of hearing people say she is so hot. Yeah if you like looking at my dogs *** then hell she is hot.
