Bloody-Disgusting says
One of the best independent films of the last decade is Eli Roth's Cabin Fever, which ages like fine wine. With a sequel already in the books (Spring Fever was directed by Ti West and released in 2009), The Indomina Group has landed franchise rights with plans on producing multiple films featuring more skin-rotting terror.
The Indomina Group has optioned the rights for two new Cabin Fever installments, which will be Cabin Fever: Patient Zero and Cabin Fever: Outbreak. The films will be shot back to back in the Dominican Republic in early Spring of 2012. Details inside.
Synopsis: “When a cruise ship in the Caribbean collides with an abandoned research vessel, a deadly virus is unleashed. Passengers must find a way to survive before the flesh eating disease consumes them all.“
Agreed, yet because it is a horror movie, we will both most likely watch it, haha.
Watched part 2 because Ti West directed it, couldn't make it to the 1/2 way mark. What is Sean Astin doing in this?
For a moment I thought the first novel of the Joe Ledger series was finally getting adapted.
I was severely disappointed.
Looking forward to this. Great franchise, I just hope this isn't the last of it.

Unlike TVLine – who spoiled a major “American Horror Story” plot twist in the headline of an article this morning – we’re giving you fair warning before reading on. Below you’ll find a Major spoiler from behind-the-scenes of Indomina Group’s Cabin Fever: Patient Zero, which is being helmed by Kaare Andrews (yes, the same person who directed the god awful Altitude).
The Collider:
Last October, we learned that two prequels to Eli Roth’s 2002 horror film Cabin Fever were poised to be filmed back-to-back: Cabin Fever: Patient Zero and Cabin Fever: Outbreak. Kaare Andrews (Altitude) was subsequently set to direct the first prequel, Patient Zero, and now a trio of actors have joined the project. Variety reports that Sean Astin, Brando Eaton (Dexter, The Secret Life of the American Teenager), and Ben Hollingsworth (The Joneses) will topline the pic, which is set to start filming on August 13th in the Dominican Republic.
I REALLY like Eli Roths Cabin Fever movie and watched the second....I can safely say that Cabin Fever 2 was a flaming piece of dog crap. This makes me more then a little skeptical that these movies will be any good at all.
Yeah the fact that the sequel was just so terrible, doesn't make me think these will be any better. Sounds more like franchise milking to me, especially considering they're already announcing 2 sequels. So it's obvious they don't care how bad the first sequel may be, they'll do another one anyway.
The first Cabin Fever was awesome. The second is apparently not as bad as it looks, but I doubt I'll ever watch it. Same with the sequels.
This doesn't interest me at all. I'm more into the more realistic scary stuff.
Uninteresting news.
