[*rec] 2
 

It looks like [REC], the Spanish horror flick that has been terrifying audiences all over Europe this year, is about to get the sequel treatment.

Spain's Filmax is currently promoting REC 2 in Cannes, with directors Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza again attached to direct.

According to Screen Daily, there's no word on cast, budget or start date, but the filmmakers have revealed that the sequel will retain the original's "claustrophobic concept", with the horror again seen through the lens of a handheld camera.

As for the original [REC], although the film is yet to be released in America, it has already been remade under the title Quarantine, with John Erick Dowdle directing and Jay Hernandez starring.

Thanks for sharing this great news, V.:)

Hope it's as good as the first one :)

[rec] 2
 

The first [REC] was just awesome. I've heard they're making a sequel, does anyone have any further information about it?

it was a fantastic movie ..

hard to see the point of doing a sequal though ..

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I STILL NEED TO SEE THE FIRST MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!

This is actually a subject of strife for me... The Boyfriend wants to see Quarantine in the theaters but I REFUSE TO until I watch [rec], so every time he sees an ad for Quarantine and he points at it and looks at me with those little puppy dog eyes and I think with unadulterated internal struggling, "My GOD why must I be such an ellitist intellectual sexy purist?!" and then I say, "Maybe, Boyfriend, maybe"... I feel slightly more dead inside...

...

SO

Anyone know when it's supposed to be released on the US shores?

This is a terrible idea. I don't see it working that flick was a one of deal to me.

There's a thread somewhere with more details.

First Rec was great, there's an interview with director Jaume Balaguero about the second one here - http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/niff...o-talks-rec-2/

Chrono, I can send you a link where you can watch it streamed online. Quality isn't 100%, but it's more than passable - and well worth it.

thats a terrible way to see a film - especially this film for the 1st time ..

keep looking - or check ebay. (my copy is some other region - unless you have a multi region player its no good to you.



but dont watch it hunched over a computer monitor ... see it on a decent screen with decent sound .... on the couch in the dark.
