ZEE5 has just released the trailer of its upcoming original film ‘Blurr‘. The trailer of the Taapsee Pannu starrer has taken social media by storm. Netizens have hailed the dark, edgy trailer, with most looking forward to watching the movie on ZEE5. For those who don’t know, ‘Blurr’ is touted as a horror thriller that will premiere on ZEE5 on December 9, 2022.
‘Blurr’ has rightly caught the attention of film enthusiasts with its sharp trailer. But do you know that the upcoming film is a remake of a Guillermo del Toro movie? The original film is a Spanish thriller titled ‘Julia’s Eyes’. Stellar filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has produced the film, though he’s not directed it. Every true blue film buff will know Guillermo del Toro, the maker of Academy Award-winning films Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water, as also Netflix’s recent ‘Cabinet Of Curiosities’, and the upcoming ‘Pinocchio’.
Spanish film ‘Julia’s Eyes’ premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2010, before hitting theatres in Mexico the same year. The film is directed by Guillem Morales and written by Morales and Oriol Paulo. It is a horror and psychological thriller, centred on a pair of twins, both suffering from a degenerative eye disease. One of the sisters is found dead by suicide. But her twin, Julia, senses a more sinister reason for her sister’s death. She sets out to find the truth, even as she grapples with increasing loss of sight.
Going by the trailer, ‘Blurr’ seems to be a faithful remake of the Spanish original. The original Spanish film ‘Julia’s Eyes’ stars Belén Rueda, Lluís Homar and Julia Gutiérrez Caba. The Hindi remake ‘Blurr’ stars Taapsee Pannu, Gulshan Devaiah and Kruttika Desai. It is written and directed by Ajay Bahl, and co-written by Pawan Soni. The film is produced by Zee Studios, Echelon Productions and Taapsee Pannu’s own Outsiders Films. This is Pannu’s first film as producer.
