Filming has officially kicked-off on Rabid, the upcoming remake of David Cronenberg’s cult 1977 film of the same name. American Mary directors The Soska Sisters helm the new film which Shout! Studios will release States-side.
Laura Vandervoort, Ben Hollingsworth, Hanneke Talbot, Mackenzie Gray, CM Punk and AJ Mendez star in the story about a young woman who, after an accident leaves her scarred beyond recognition, undergoes a radical untested stem-cell treatment. She becomes a beauty, but the experimental transformation comes at a price.
Jen Soska, Sylvia Soska and John Serge penned the new take which is said to offer a modern and relevant spin from the woman’s perspective. Michael Walker, Paul Lalonde and John Vidette are producing.
