Friedkin gets the horror ‘Bug’ all over again

If they haven’t already, fans of the directorial work of William Friedkin might want to check out his latest addition to horror – ‘Bug‘ for Lion’s Gate films.  The official website is here where you can check out images and watch the trailer.

Bug stars Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon and Harry Connick Jr. (yes, Harry Conick Jr… I did a double-take, too), and, of course, the trailers and posters are plastered with the text ‘FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE EXORCIST’.  And why wouldn’t you do that when The Exorcist is one of the greatest horror films of all time?

If the official site doesn’t give you enough and you want to read more about why Mr. Friedkin took on this project, you can read a really good interview with him by Cinema-Scope here.

If any CaptainHowdy.com regular is interested in writing a review for Bug after it opens on May 25 (or if you can get to an advanced screening), I’ll be happy to post it – just let me know.  I won’t be rushing out to see it, myself.
