Genre writer Mark Wheaton (Friday the 13th remake, The Messengers) is about to see one of his best stories, Sunday Billy Sunday, adapted into a feature film, and we have the who, what, where, when, and how for ya! We're good like that!
From the Press Release:
Music video director Morna Ciraki will make her feature directing debut with the horror film Sunday Billy Sunday, having optioned the self-published indie bestseller from screenwriter Mark Wheaton, who has penned the adaptation. The film is intended for a 2012 festival release.
A novel of religious hysteria, Sunday Billy Sunday tells the story of a Dallas-area priest, Father Billy Acosta, who believes he’s been shown a miracle by God.

It was about ten days ago that I reported on a new rage zombie flick with the uber generic title Infected I had stumbled upon a listing for on the American Film Market. A sales agent then sent word that the movie had undergone a name change for the better to The Terror Experiment. Now I can bring you more details on the plot and new sales art for this Quarantine-esque chiller.
C. Thomas Howell, Judd Nelson, Jason London, Robert Carradine, and Lochlyn Monroe star in this thriller from director George Mendeluk about people trapped in an office high rise with psychotic rage-a-holics. The movie will be premiering at Afm in the coming week and will almost certainly be infecting DVD shelves sometime next year. A trailer should be going online soon. In the meantime, here's a more detailed plot synopsis and new artwork reflecting the film's title change to The Terror Experiment.

There was a time in the 1980's when C. Thomas Howell and Judd Nelson were amongst the hottest group of young actors of their time, collectively known as "The Brat Pack". Now they're reuniting for a low budget rage virus flick unoriginally titled Infected. Take a look at your future, cast of Twilight.
Directed by George Mendeluk and starring C. Thomas Howell, Judd Nelson, Jason London, Robert Carradine, and Lochlyn Monroe, this survival horror flick sounds like it's a cinema-verite beat away from being a knock-off of Quarantine.
When a virus is released in the Federal Building, causing employees to instantly become aggressive and bloodthirsty, a group of the uninfected must band together and fight to get out with their lives.
According the the Film Catalogue sales release, the generic title Infected is (hopefully) subject to change. Wouldn't be the first time the title has been changed since it was...
