I've been waiting on this one for a long time. To be honest I haven't felt such anticipation for a film since Silence of The Lambs. If Brian Depalma stays faithful to the book by James Ellroy it's going to be an incredible movie. Here's a link to the trailer (hope it works, links and such are not my forte').

I have been fascinated with this case ever since I played "The Black Dahlia" Interactive movie. It was an awesom adventure/thriller full motion video game. It came out in the 90's when interactive movies were all the rage. The puzzles were incredibly complex but the story was fascinating even if it took the true events and added a twist of the phantasmagoric.
I read the book on which the movie is based and it was sufficiently creepy and unsettling. It delivers an emotional wallop that leaves you feeling unsettled. Definitely not the "feel good novel of the year."
I can't wait to see this movie, even though I am not a Josh Hartnett fan.

I am James Ellroy fan and I read "The Black Dahlia". I'm looking forward to see it. I hope I see it in a theatre.

Why was it bad? I heard and saw adverts for it. Bad acting, direction or what?

I haven't seen it, so this is only a guess. Brian DiPalma's direction has been very iffy over the last couple of decades. I have high hopes for this film, but with DiPalma directing, it's always a crap shoot, could be good, could be awful.

He also commented that he has no idea why DePalma is considered a "legendary" director. So I looked him up, and I think the only one that I kinda like is Carrie. The Untouchables and Casualties of War were ... ok.
