Is This a Remake of "Fatal Attraction"

The plot summary sounds a lot like "Fatal Attraction" so the comparisons will probably be made. What's still not clear is which roles (wife or ex-mistress) will Rosario Dawson and Katherine Heigl play?

I was thinking the same thing. Sure sounds a lot like Fatal Attraction. I hope Rosario Dawson plays the crazy ex mistress because she is definitely the better actress of the two. I would rather Hiegel not be in the movie at all but oh well. Maybe she can pull off a homemaker type wife. Probably not.

Heigl is the ex-wife, and I think she'll be able to pull of an excellent crazy woman.

red-rage... your comments are ugly and bring nothing to a possible discussion about a film.
You're just expressing hatred.

Just saw the trailer. It reminds of mid-90s home-invasion-thriller 'Mother's Boys'.

I had "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" in mind

No, it isn't. This is actually a bit different. Rather than this being another 'one-night-stand-gone-wrong' sort of deals, Katherine Heigl is actually the ex-wife who is bent on ruining the life of her ex-husband's new wife.

Hope changes everything.

She should just move in with them. I can't imagine the unending agony of being around Katherine Heigl 24x7

An interesting angle. The commercials don't imply that so I thought it'd be an Obsessed rip-off.

A lot of movies rip off Fatal Attraction, and I'm yet to find one as good as that movie, that will always be my favourite and Glenne Close did am amazing job as a psycho bunny boiler.
