Naturally, when it came time to talk to Lisa Gardner, we had to ask her about that. TV audiences, after all, aren’t used to seeing the long-dead bodies of children. She explained that in the script, they’re now young women’s bodies and disguised somewhat by the bags they’re in, but that director John Gray (of Ghost Whisperer) has such a “sense of the creepy,” that even without showing gore, the set was incredibly eerie and amazingly detailed as the killer’s lair.
[This area backstage was so loud! Sorry for the noise, but we wanted you to hear the author’s own excitement about seeing her story brought to life, because it got us excited to see it, too.]
Sounds spooky, no? Of course, the whole plot doesn’t take place in the pit and, indeed, the whole plot isn’t even just D.D. and Alex…or Bobby. One of the bodies in the pit is wearing a locket, but the moment they broadcast the name on it, a woman (Bridget Regan) comes forward claiming to be the long-lost Annabelle Granger.
But, of course, in any serial killer thriller, the real star is the killer. And no, we won’t tell you anything about that, except to say it’s perfectly twisted and convoluted. But then, any guy who could create something like the pit would have to be twisted, right? And any time that kind of guy gets loose in the world, things go bad in complex and convulted ways.
We’ll be watching, if for nothing else to see the pit. What about you?
This was my favorite movie of the 3 so far…favorite cast by far. It may not be true to the book but it was fun… Looking forward to tonight’s movie!!!
