Jessica Alba has been filming the American remake of a Chinese ghost story called The Eye 2. The movie trailer is finally available. Click here to watch it. Below I’ve included scenes from the original The Eye, the first one in Chinese with English subtitles. The original is probably the scariest of them all. I’ve got The Eye. Woo, I’ve got goose bumps just thinking about it. DO NOT WATCH ALONE, unless you’re really brave like me.

HG got exclusive pictures of Jessica Alba, and shots of The Eye 2 set while they were filming at night in Vancouver, B.C. on August 18, 2007. Click here to see our exclusive pictures. You won’t see these pictures ANYWHERE else.

Jessica Alba is the main character in a remake of a Hong Kong Chinese ghost movie called The Eye (aka Jian gui or Gin gwai) released in the U.S. in 2003, and Hong Kong in 2002. Here’s the official description of the original movie:

At the age of two, Wong Kar Mun went blind. Eighteen years later a new and risky corneal transplant operation restores her vision, but a series of inexplicable events leads her to believe there is much more than meets the eye to her newfound gift of sight. Mysterious black-clad figures seem to foreshadow sudden deaths, and horribly disfigured denizens of another side haunt her everyday existence. Unable to define her own identity, she comes to understand that whenever she looks into a mirror she doesn’t see herself but instead sees another woman: Ling, the original owner of the corneas. It seems that Mun has inherited Ling’s fate and the misery that comes with the ability to see more than what she wants to behold.

The original movie was good. I have a copy. The sad part is that the original movie only made $503,714 in the U.S., because movie goers had to read subtitles. There are so many great Chinese, Korean, and other Asian made movies that must be viewed with subtitles, and they are so worth it. A remake with a latino chick is just not going to be the same as a scary Chinese movie. Get the original at your nearest China town, or Amazon.com, rather than being disappointed at the theater.
