Clive Barker’s Midnight Picture Show label has gotten up and running with it’s first feature. THE PLAGUE now has a poster concept, cast and director, plus a nice description over at Fangoria.com of just what the heck to expect when this puppy hits:
All the children of the world under 8 years old fall into a coma. THE PLAGUE is essentially the story of the extinction of mankind. After 10 years, the children wake up and want to kill the world. The 10 years they were asleep served as an incubation period, where the children develop their powers. When they awake, the bloodshed begins. Basically, in this story, God cleans house.
Sweeeeeet!
The cast includes James Van Der Beek, Ivana Milicevic and Brad Hunt and an appearance by the always welcome Dee Wallace Stone. Taking the reins is first-timer Hal Masonberg. For more specs on the flick and the next project from MPS head on over and read the full skinny at The Fang.
