Spot the difference:
Cameron Diaz in Richard Kelly’s upcoming The Box (2009)
Nancy Allen in Brian De Palma’s Blow Out (1981)

Out of Sync
Random Director Quote
The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.

when i saw the trailer to this, the vision immediately reminded me of “dressed to kill”, “blow out” has a similar soft look too
I also thought this when I saw the trailer for The Box, and I wrote up some more similarities.
