While ostensibly a fantasy movie collaboration between Ron Howard and JJ Abrams sounds awesome, a further review of the source material sucks Gollum's balls.
When I first heard that these directors were teaming up for a fantasy I was desperately hoping it would be for a Dark Tower project. After I found out it wasn't I was hoping for something with elves and magic and such. Perhaps the long awaited adaptation of Terry Brooks' "The Elfstones of Shannara"? Um...no.
Instead the two are joining forces to bring us All I've Got based on a 2003 Israeli TV movie. Here's the plot:
The original film follows a woman named Tamara who survives a freak car accident that, sadly, claims the life of her boyfriend, Udi. Years later, after Tamara has re-married and raised a family with a new man, she passes away and moves on to the afterlife, where she is given a difficult choice: Forget her life, and return to the time before the accident, where she lived happily with Udi; or remain as she currently is and wait, patiently, for her husband and children to join her in paradise.
Not only does this sound like an atrocious film dripping with false sentiment, it sounds like a blatant ripoff of the Robin Williams film What Dream May Come. "Cinema Blend" states that Howard will direct and Abrams will produce through his company Bad Robot. I don't know. I might have to catch this one at the dollar theater.
