Sandra Bullock, is one of my favorite actresses. Here lately she has gotten caught up in a time-loop as far as movie choices are concerned, not that I am complaining one little bit — any opportunity to see her on the silver screen makes me a happy camper.
The last time I saw Sandra she was trading snail mail through a time-warped rural mailbox with old “Speed” flame Keanu Reeves in “The Lake House,” a thoroughly enjoyable film by-the-way — yeah I know, I’m such a girl sometimes.
On March 16th she can be seen in another film that has her living in an out-of-sync time feature called “Premoniton.” The film centers on Bullock’s character named Linda Hanson. She has the idyllic suburban life, a beautiful home, two lovely daughters and a husband she adores. All of this changes when she gets the news that her husband Jim (Julian McMahon) has been killed in an automobile accident.
When Linda awakens the next day after a restless, fitful night of sleep she is shocked to see that Jim is still very much alive and well. Relieved, thinking it was all just a horrible nightmare, the reality slowly creeps in that his deadly accident was no dream, it simply hasn’t happened yet.
Linda begins to realize that her whole life is being lived out of sync with normal time and nothing is exactly as it appears to be. These ‘premonitions’ set her in motion to do everything she can to save her family. Linda begins a furious race against a time-frame she can no longer trust.
Besides Bullock and McMahon, “Premonition” co-stars Nia Long, Kate Nelligan, Amber Valetta and Peter Stormare. This psychological SF thriller was helmed by German director Mennan Yapo (Lautlos aka Soundless) from a Bill Kelly (Blast from the Past) screenplay.

No. This one with Sandra Bullock is from an original screenplay by Bill Kelly.
The Japanese film called “Yogen” and released in English subtitles as “Premonition” in 2004 is a totally different script based upon a story of Tsunoda’s “Kyoufu Shimbun.” He is known for his works in the realm of the supernatural as it relates to ghost stories. His works of horror are very popular in Japan.

Is this a remake of the japanese psychological chiller of the same name?
