New Pics: Amber Heard Enters 'The Ward'
More TIFF news today as a few images of Amber Heard starring in John Carpenter's The Ward have surfaced. John Carpenter's The Ward joins James Wan's (SAW) Insidious, Jim Mickle's (Mulberry Street) Stake Land, Brad Anderson's (Session 9) Vanishing on 7th Street as an official selection for the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival's Midnight Madness slot. Check out the new pics from The Ward below.
When an old farmhouse is set ablaze by Kristen (Amber Heard), a distraught young woman, she is taken by police to the North Bend Psychiatric Hospital. She awakens in a special ward with four similarly unbalanced and wayward girls: Sarah, a flirty and sass-talking know it all; Iris, a sensitive and talented artist who tries to make her feel welcome; Emily, a reckless but playful outcast; and Zoey, who hides behind a childlike persona and her beloved stuffed bunny.
Kirsten’s therapist, Dr. Stringer (Jared Harris), tries to uncover the root cause of her breakdown, but despite his calm and understanding manner, she resists any attempts at help and rehabilitation.
Unfortunately, the hospital is not the sanctuary it seems to be. Kristen begins to have strange run-ins with a shadowy phantom who roams the halls when the ward is locked down at night. Persistent and inquisitive, she goes digging for information about former patients and soon becomes convinced that no one ever leaves the ward alive.
The Ward stars Amber Heard, Mamie Gummer, Danielle Panabaker, Jared Harris, Lyndsy Fonseca.
