Gothamist saw the trailer for the new Jennifer Connelly movie, Dark Water. Basically, she finds an apartment (with the help of John C. Reilly, a fellow tenant) in what looks like one of those huge NYC apartment buildings that are so big and nondescript, they look like projects, and moves in with her daughter, even though the elevator is freaky. She proclaims it perfect, but, of course, that's when the scary stuff happens: Leaky ceiling that reveals a flooded apartment above her - that hasn't occupied! Read the description at Yahoo Movies, and see the trailer at the Touchstone site. What Gothamist wants to know is hasn't she seen Panic Room? Or even Duplex? Buying a living space in NYC is never charmed - especially not when you're in a movie written by the same guy who wrote The Ring. Gothamist chortled our way through the trailer, but we might see it - IMDB says it filmed at Roosevelt Island and there seem to be some cool aerials of the city.
In real life, Connelly doesn't have these problems - she's got a townhouse in Park Slope - natch!

This was also filming in Park Slope (4th and 14th) on a block where a friend of mine lives.
I didn't notice any exterior shots in the trailer that match his street, but maybe SOMEDAY
Haha...i just read the yahoo description link, and the daughter's name is Ceci...which means "chickpeas" in italian :)
The Japanese original isn't that great, so hopefully they'll improve on the American version. Let's hope that this remake fares better than say, "The Grudge" (which was soooo stupid).
Reading that Markowitz comment about Park Slope being camelot. Brooklyn is a tale of multiple cities. Go to east flatbush, bed stuy or east new york and you've got bricks, mortar and gunfire.
I was working on 28th and Madison last year and they were filming in front of the Ziff Davis building. The dude who runs a deli on the North side of the block was also in a huff because foot traffic was sparse and everyone from the shoot was eating at the craft services table.
They also did some filming for Dark Water down on Wall Street. We could watch them film the scenes from the windows on our floor.
