In Reply to: It's a remake of the Spanish film OPEN YOUR EYES.. posted by Vincent on September 19, 2001 at 18:27:49:
: Incidentally, THE OTHERS was directed by the director of OPEN YOUR EYES, and Tom Cruise was a producer on THE OTHERS, so he must really dig that guy's stuff.
Cruise actually bought the remake rights to OPEN YOUR EYES when it first came out. I don't know for sure if he has an official credit (apart from acting) on VANILLA SKY, but I assume he'd be an executive producer (as he is on THE OTHERS).
"That guy" is Alejandro Amenabar, btw. He also directed THESIS.
Ironically, I've seen none of his work.
