The Resident to See the Insides of DVD Stores rather than Theatres March 29th

The Resident starring Hilary Swank (Insomnia) and Jeffery Dean Morgan (Jonah Hex) will not be hitting theatres as expected, within Canada or the US. Instead, this film, from Hammer Film Productions, will go to DVD and Blu-Ray March 29th,. United Kingdom horror fans can expect to see the film March 11th. Image Entertainment will distribute.

This is a major blow to Hammer Films, which created this film. Hammer Films has only produced three films in the last ten years and the $20 million price tag on this piece will be hard to recover from sales on home entertainment alone. The film's trailer is below and the latest film poster is listed left.

The synopsis for The Resident here:

"The story tells of Juliet Dermer (Hilary Swank), a doctor who moves into the attic of an apartment block and begins to suspect that someone is watching her, only to discover that her landlord, Max, (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), has developed an unhealthy obsession with her" (UHM).

Release Date: March 29th, 2011 (DVD, Blu-Ray).

Director: Antti Jokinen.

Writers: Antti J. Jokinen, Robert Orr, and Erin Cressida Wilson.

Cast: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Hilary Swank, Christopher Lee, Lee Pace Michael Massee, Kisha Sierra, Penny Balfour, Michael Showers, Alexandria Morrow, Peggy Miley, and Cliff Gravel.
