What would have been River Phoenix’s last movie will finally see the light of day. “Dark Blood” will premiere at the Netherlands Film Festival on Sept. 27, according to reports. Director George Sluizer, 80, abandoned the project after Phoenix died at age 23 in 1993 in front of West Hollywood’s Viper Room. But he reportedly stashed the film away in a vault fearing it would be destroyed. He recently re-edited the work, about a hermit living at a nuclear testing site, which also stars Judy Davis and Jonathan Pryce.
