First Photos of Amber Heard in John Carpenter's The Ward

After roughly eight years, John Carpenter is finally back to directing once again. His newest film, The Ward, stars Amber Heard, Danielle Panabaker, Lyndsy Fonseca, and a few other young actresses, and is a psychological thriller set in a mental institution. Over on the production website (via Dread Central), a few new photos and a bit of early artwork for The Ward have popped up. Considering we've seen nothing from this yet and it is John Carpenter's long-awaited return to directing, I thought I'd feature these photos, which actually look pretty cool. The ghost looks damn creepy, too. They're not much, but still take a look below.
The Ward is an intense psychological thriller set in a mental institution where a young woman, Kristen (Amber Heard) is haunted by a mysterious and deadly ghost. As danger creeps closer, she comes to realize that this ghost might be darker than she could have imagined. I probably otherwise wouldn't be interested in this if it weren't John Carpenter. I just hope it lives up to some of his better films and isn't another Ghosts of Mars. As far as we know, this doesn't have a US distributor and was produced independently. We're not sure when this will arrive, but it is still shooting and will probably be ready by next year some time. Thoughts?

Great to see John Carpenter directing again! I sure hope this flick gets a distributor and puts Carpenter back into the limelight, where he needs to be!!

Looks like a throwback to old school 70's-early 80's horror flicks. And Ghost of Mars wasn't great, but it was entertaining.

"Psychological Thriller" ’nuff said.

Sounds a bit like Gothika, imo. Hopefully, the fact that it is by Carpenter means it's gonna be much better, and it won't have Limp Bizkit included on the OST. *shudder*

Good, its nice to see the old boy back in the cahir again. yeah alot of his more later movies wernt up to much but as some has said they were entertaining but no where as near as good has some of his past film, my fave's of his are The Thing, Esc New from York and Prince of Darkness which was very freaky and actually freaked me out a bit :o)
