It's April 28th. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, where the headline shine, powered by AI. Crispin Glover, the cult legend from back to the future, is stepping into one of cinema's most notorious lost gems. He's headlining a remake of a blind bargain, a 1970 era twist on the 1922 Lawn Cheney Silent flick. Shot on Kodak film, it re-imagines that infamous story of mad science and deals gone wrong. The plot follows Dominic Fontaine, a Vietnam vet battling addiction in debts, played by Jake Horowitz. Living with his mom, played by Amy Wright, he signs her up for treatment at the Gruder Institute to pay off a drug dealer. Glover's Dr. Gruder promises to reverse aging, but the bargain hides some dark secrets that unravel fast. That original film starred Lawn Cheney in a double row as a creepy doctor in his twisted creation. It got hit hard by censors over Frankenstein vibes and playing god themes. MGM trashed the negative in 1931 and a fire wiped out the last print in 1965, leaving it
lost forever. Directed by Paul Benel, with a script he co-wrote alongside Johnny Philatico, the cast packs and talents like Lucy Loken, Annalisa Cochrane, Sean, Whalen, Jed Rowan, and Rob Mace. It's a fresh-tank blending horror roots with Gritty 70's realism. Catch, a blind bargain and limited release at theaters in New York and Los Angeles, starting May 8th perfect for fans craving that old school chill. With a modern edge.
