The film first made news in May when Abigail Breslin was attached, but it appears she’s no longer involves.
Pest, is based on Barbara Marshalls original screenplay, which appeared on the Black List, the Blood List, and the Hit List in 2012. Discussions are underway for the lead roles with some top talent in consideration.
In Pest, when a deadly virus invades their hometown, a teen documents her family’s new life in quarantine and tries to protect her infected sister as society begins to crumble outside.
I was captivated by Marshalls screenplay. There is a complicated family drama amidst a terrifying and tense story of an outbreak that is unleashed. Im excited to be working with Jason Blum and Stuart Ford again to bring this terrifying thriller to audiences, said Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company.
