Adrian Lyne returns with erotic thriller "Dark Water"

lol, basically sums it up for me too. 

I'd be a lot more excited about this project because of de Armas and Lyne working together if it weren't for Affleck's involvement. 

Anybody read the Patricia Highsmith book?

First adapted as Eaux Profondes (1981) which me and pacinoyes talked about briefly on the Actors impact on genre thread, starring Huppert and Jean Louis Trintignant.

I said about it -- "clever with its ideas of sex as a sporting event of sorts, a lot of suggestive glancing across rooms, courting, toying, while using a lot of style.... tigerlike camerawork, match-cuts, color motifs, surreal touches." What's key to the male lead is the extent of his percieving her as evasive and how the internalizing of his envy boils over. So the generational and even the ethnicity difference in this case makes sense. Though I wouldn't have casted Affleck....

as for Adrian Lyn, a welcome return. I love Foxes, his debut. It'll be 18 years since his last - who are other directors with major gaps btwn films? Malick is the major example after 20 years. Lean, 14 years before A Passage to India.... who else....

I love those 80's/90's erotic thrillers.I'm going to watch the shit out of this.

Lyne is really underrated as an actors' director, I think - his artistry is gorgeously choreographed, but he also directed career-best performances from Kim Basinger, Jennifer Beals, and Diane Lane, and then there is of course Glenn Close in one of the most iconic star turns of all time - totally against type for her, too.
A little surprised Affleck was cast here, though - Lyne was originally set to direct The Town, and he seems like the type to hold a grudge, lol.

And another 12 by the time Avatar 2’s out.
