Two more [REC] sequels?

The claustrophobic zombie/possession known as [REC], will have two new films in a few years time. Directors of the first two films, Paco Plaza and Jaume Balaguero are set to return and create two new films in the wake of the first film. The additions of [REC] and [REC]2, will be called [REC] Genesis and [REC] Apocalypse. If this news doesn't make a vibrator buzz without batteries, I don't know what will. 

Detailed report from Bloody-Disgusting 

 [REC] directors Paco Plaza and Jaume Balaguero will split directing responsibilities for the two films. Plaza will direct the first film Genesis, which much like the Batman and Star Trek franchises will return to the origin of the original infection that caused humans to turn into zombies.

Paco Plaza and Luis Alejandro Berdejo (The New Daughter) will co-write Genesis with Balaguero actively involved in the development of the project. The film is expected to be delivered in the autumn of 2011.

Apocalypse will be directed by Balaguero and will end the [REC] saga with the pandemic spreading to unknown proportions. Plaza will assist on the project, which is expected to be delivered in the autumn of 2012. 


“We were overwhelmed by the audience’s reaction to [REC]. It was precisely this which inspired us to keep going with [REC]2. Again, the great support we have received from audiences and Filmax motivates us to investigate the [REC] idea even further,” say Plaza and Balagueró.
