Joshua Jackson rises from 'sub-sub' stardom

The horror movie Shutter, with a premise reminiscent of a Twilight Zone and filled with its share of "gotcha" jolts, seems at first blush like typical Hollywood fare.

What makes it more than a popcorn movie for American audiences, says the film's star, Joshua Jackson, is that its Japanese director, Masayuki Ochiai, simultaneously made a different cut of the film for Japanese audiences.

"The old paradigm is unraveling," Jackson said. "That idea that you could make a movie that would have regionally specific cuts. I think that's a really interesting idea."
