Last week I hit you with the news that DIVIDE screenwriter Eron Sheean was prepping a mysterious thriller called ERRORS OF THE HUMAN BODY. At the time, the flick had a cast made up solely of Karoline Herfurth, Michael Eklund and Tómas Lemarquis, but that changes today as Screen Daily reports British comedian Rik Mayall has joined the party.
Mayall is something of a household name in England, but might not be recognizable to most in the states. But what if I told you he played the rascally imaginary friend in DROP DEAD FRED? I bet a staggering amount of you would go “Ohhhhhh”. Well, that’s him!
The plot: When a potentially lethal new virus is created within his new lab, Dr. Geoff Burton is shocked to discover he is not only the unwitting cause, but also its first victim.
ERRORS OF THE HUMAN BODY is currently shooting in Dresden, Germany. Berlin-based Instinctive Film is producing, while LA-based XYZ Films is handling worldwide sales.
