1905 Film Network News The new version of "Butterfly Dream" directed by British director Ben Vitley recently revealed a new still. On stills, Amy Hammer, Lily James, and Kristen Scott Thomas appear one by one. The whole still, the light is grotesque, although it is a bright sun, it still looks gothic.
Judging from the still performance, the film will have an unsettling temperament and atmosphere. This film is not a remake of Hitchcock's original work of the same name in 1940, but is re-adapted from the original novel of Daphne Du mullier, so this film and Hitchcock's version can be regarded as "out of the same door". The 1940 version of Butterfly Dream is a suspense film produced by Selznick International Pictures, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Lawrence Oliver and Joan Fontaine. Based on Daphne Du Murière's suspense novel Rebecca, the film tells the story of a young woman who marries into a rich family and discovers the ghost of her husband's ex-wife Rebecca hanging over the mansion, after which Rebecca's body is found and a murder is uncovered. The film was released in the United States on March 28, 1940, and in 1941, the film won the 13th Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Cinematography.

He has filmed films such as "Sin House", "Skyscraper", "Fire Trade" and so on, all of which show this style. This time, how he will adapt "Butterfly Dream" is still unknown, and it is precisely because of this that the film is highly anticipated. According to the plan, the film will land on Netflix on October 21 this year, this time period also happens to be the Halloween slot in North America, and there is speculation in foreign media that the new version of "Butterfly Dream" will have a high probability of being a horror film.
