IM Global’s THE BAY is currently in post-production, and a new synopsis for the film was just released. Previously known as ISOPOD, the thriller is directed by Barry Levinson (RAIN MAN) and written by first-timer Michael Wallach. Here’s the plot:
The quaint seaside town of Chesapeake Bay thrives on water it is the lifeblood of the community. When two biological researchers from France find a staggering level of toxicity in the water, they attempt to alert the mayor, but he refuses to create a panic in the docile town. As a result, a deadly plague is unleashed, turning the people of Chesapeake Bay into hosts for a mutant breed of parasites that take control of their minds, and eventually their bodies. A brutal and harrowing creature feature for the 21st century, THE BAY chronicles the descent of a small town into absolute terror.
So it’s a modern zombie flick using JAWS plot devices that describes itself as a creature feature? Count me in! The story will be told through first-person video scraps.
The movie is produced by Jason Blum, Oren Peli, Steven Schneider – also known as the team behind PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. It stars Christopher Denham, Will Rogers, Steven Kunken, Kether Donohue (below), Frank Deal, Kristin Connelly, Michael Beasley, and Lauren Cohn.
