Paco Plaza’s ‘[REC]3 Genesis’ gets a new poster!

I’m a pretty big fan ofJaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza’s first two [REC] films and found them to be a welcome refreshment in the increasingly stale zombie genre. Because of that fact, I can’t decide if I’m excited or nervous that the team behind the previous pictures are putting together two more, including this third installment that would see the virus actually leave the building and switch out the hand-held style for a more traditional filmmaking.

Either way, Plaza is already underway filming [REC]3 Genesis, and there’s now a press release and a brand spanking new poster to whet our appetitie for zombie infection.

Check out Filmax’s summary below:

The original [REC] crew are back, ready to submit their ensemble cast to another fight for survival against the zombie infection, this time to the backdrop of an original soundtrack.  This new chapter will see the film ‘open up’ by using a more traditional cinematographic style. However the film’s roots have not been forgotten and viewers will still be immersed in the action, watching certain events unfold through the eye of the video camera.

The action in [REC]3 Genesis encompasses the events of the first two films, and after the sense of claustrophobia previously experienced, the action now takes place miles away from the original location and partly in broad daylight, giving the film an entirely fresh, yet disturbing new reality. The infection has left the building.

In a clever twist that draws together the plots of the first two movies, this third part of the saga also works as a decoder to uncover information hidden in the first two films and leaves the door open for the final instalment, the future [REC]4 Apocalypse.
