As long as the body snatchers don’t look like ATM MAN… WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The George Washington University Hospital and its exterior will be visible on the big screen in the upcoming motion picture, "The Visiting." The movie is a remake of 1956's "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers." The updated version stars Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, is directed by Oliver Schbiegel and produced by Joel Silver. Carol (Nicole Kidman) plays a Washington psychiatrist who discovers the cause of a mysterious epidemic affecting human behavior and must fight to protect her son who may be the one who holds the key to end the epidemic. Daniel Craig plays Ben, Carol's love interest and colleague. Exterior shots were taken in the courtyard between the hospital and The George Washington University Medical Center and followed the actors walking towards the front entrance of GW Hospital. Interior scenes of the hospital will be replicated at a soundstage from photographs taken of the hospital and its employees. "The Visiting" is scheduled to be released in the United States in late 2006. |
