Auditions for 'Cabin Fever: Patient Zero' and 'Cabin Fever: Outbreak'

Cabin Fever Patient Zero Auditions

The two new "Cabin Fever" films are prequels to the previous movies.
AB Media Publishing, LLC

Marvel Comics' writer and artist Kaare Andrews has signed on to direct the upcoming feature films "Cabin Fever: Patient Zero" and "Cabin Fever: Outbreak". Casting is now underway for at least 8 lead roles and several smaller roles ranging from early 20s males and females to 30s and 40ish males. Shooting will take place beginning late April 2012 in the Dominican Republic, however casting for the main roles is taking place in Los Angeles. Extras, stand-ins, and photo doubles will be cast in Santo Domingo. Both films will be shot back-to-back.

In addition to being a comic book writer and artist, Kaare Andrews is also a filmmaker who has directed several short films, and the Anchor Bay Entertainment full length feature film "Altitude". Known for his cover work on "Incredible Hulk," "Ultimate X-Men, Gen," "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Matrix Comics," Andrews drew a four-issue mini-series for Marvel known as "Spider-Man: Reign" set 35 years in the future starring a retired Spider-Man. He is currently drawing covers for Marvel’s recently relaunched Ultimate line of comics.

Jake Wade Wall ("The Hitcher," "When Strangers Call") wrote the screenplay for "Cabin Fever: Patient Zero" which is about the origin of the flesh-eating virus that was unleashed in the 2002 original. The story follows a handsome American man named Marcus, who is on a floating bachelor party with his close friends, Dobs, Josh and Penny. But his yacht drifts a little too close to an island that's not on the charts, an island containing a secret research project into a seemingly incurable flesh-eating virus. The first drafts of the screenplay had a storyline involving a cruise ship being infected with the virus, however the story was changed after the recent cruise ship mishaps going on in the news lately.

"Cabin Fever: Outbreak" is being written by Adam and Deborah Marcus ("Leatherface 3D," "I Walked With a Zombie"). In this film a doctor and his family travel to a remote Caribbean island to investigate a minor flu outbreak, only to discover a vicious flesh-eating virus that threatens everyone on the island. The family is faced with responsibility to prevent a worldwide epidemic.

"Patient Zero" and "Outbreak" is being produced by Evan Astrowsky's Hypotenuse Pictures and Jasbinder Singh Mann of the Indomina Group, a fast-growing United States and Dominican Republic based production company and distributor of film, TV and trans-media content, and leading proponent of "fanboy" cinema.

The original 2002 Cabin Fever film was directed by Eli Roth, who wrote the screenplay based on a real life experience during a trip to Iceland when Roth developed a skin infection. "Cabin Fever" went on to become one of the most successful independently-financed film releases of 2003, grossing $33,553,394 at the box office worldwide for distributor Lions Gate.

"Cabin Fever: Patient Zero" is scheduled to hit theaters 2013, and "Cabin Fever: Outbreak" comes to theaters in 2014.

Story:

"Cabin Fever: Patient Zero"

Marcus Bently is an alluring, suntanned, physically strapping young American man who who's passion for sailing and diving inspired him to open a business leading undersea diving adventures with his best buddy, Dobs Towe. Marcus goes to the Dominican Republic because he falls in love with an heiress of a wealthy family, Catalina Arias, with whom he intends to marry - albeit with a slight case of cold feet. Catalina sets up a lavish bachelor party for Marcus and his friends aboard a luxury yacht, which ends up floating too close to an uncharted island. The island is a scientific research facility run by an inhumane Dr. Edwards, who is intent on finding a vaccine for a flesh-eating virus that could strip humanity literally down to the bones. Marcus and his friends must find a way to survive before the flesh eating disease consumes them all.

"Cabin Fever: Outbreak"

In this second film in the prequels, a doctor and his family travel to a remote Caribbean island to investigate a minor flu outbreak, only to discover a vicious flesh-eating virus that threatens everyone on the island. The family is faced with responsibility to prevent a worldwide epidemic.

Major New Line Cinema feature film 'The Conjuring' auditions in North Carolina

New Line Cinema The Conjuring Auditions

"The Conjuring" has a 2013 release date.
AB Media Publishing, LLC

New Line Cinema, Safran Company, and Evergreen Media Group, LLC are ready to begin principal photography on the upcoming thriller feature film "The Conjuring" in February, 2012. Shooting will take place entirely in North Carolina at Wilmington's spectacular EUE/Screen Gems Studios and other locations in and around the Wilmington area. The film's main stars are being cast in Los Angeles

"The Conjuring" focuses on the life story of Ed and Lorraine Warren, famous 1950s paranormal investigators involved with the real-life Amityville investigation that inspired the movie "The Amityville Horror." The Warrens claimed to investigate more than 10,000 hauntings during their careers. They founded the New England Society for Psychic Research and the Occult Museum, both in Connecticut.

Australian filmmaker James Wan will direct "The Conjuring" from a screenplay written by twin brothers Chad and Carey Hayes. Wan, who is known for making brutally violent horror films, has directed and/or produced such films as "Saw I - VI," "Saw 3D: The Final Chapter," "Dead Silence," and "Death Sentence". He will also be directing "Spectre" starring Nicole Kidman after filming wraps on "The Conjuring".

Summit Entertainment was originally attached to the project back in June, 2009, however the film went into turnaround and New Line Cinema took over the rights for the movie, which includes life rights to the Perron family, whose experiences in their Rhode Island home informs the film, and Ed and Lorraine Warren, experts in paranormal activities who investigated and battled the activities occurring in the Perron household and did the same in the cases that inspired "The Amityville Horror" and "The Haunting in Connecticut." Ghosts and demonic possession are at the center of "The Conjuring" plot.

Peter Safran will produce under his Safran Company banner. In addition to producing films, Safran is also a talent manager whose clients include Djimon Hounsou, David Hyde Pierce, and Paul Reiser. Although not a client, Paul Walker has starred in the last two as yet to be released Safron Company films. Tony DeRosa-Grund will produce via the Evergreen Media, LLC banner. Senior Vice President of Production Walter Hamada will oversee for New Line Cinema.

A major component of attracting films such as "The Conjuring" to North Carolina has been the first class production space, studios, and technological infrastructure provided by EUE/Screen Gems. Their lot offers 50 acres, 10 stages and 150,000 square feet of clear-span production space. Combine this with the additional incentives of a 25% refundable tax credit (effective January 1, 2010) and an accommodations tax exemption, and it is easy to see why film and television production is booming in North Carolina.

Minors and foreign talent must be legally eligible to work in the state of North Carolina and in the United States.

Story:

Longtime Las Vegas favorite, magician Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell), and his sidekick, Anton Lovecraft (Steve Buscemi), have allowed their show to grow stale, while up-and-coming Steve Haines (Jim Carrey), is stealing the limelight. Entitled, cynical and jaded, Burt finds himself out of a job and broke, while Anton heads to Cambodia to spread the joy of magic to hungry villagers. It takes Burt's original mentor, Rance Hanson (Alan Arkin), to talk sense into glum Burt, as well as a good kick in the keester by his adoring assistant, Jane (Olivia Wilde), to get Burt on track - back doing magic with all the zeal and passion that compelled him as a youngster
