Third ‘REC’ Teased After Successful Box Office Weekend
It was announced by Filmax earlier this week that the Spain opening of REC 2 (review) was a major, major success. With that said, it should come as no shock that the studio/producers are already planning for the third entry. A new website was launched that teases a third entry. Go forth and bookmark Rec3LaPelicula, which states “Proximamente” (Soon). In an exclusive interview with Bloody-Disgusting, co-creators/co-directors Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza told us that they would NOT return to direct, but will be involved at some capacity. REC 2 is to be released here in the States by Sony Home Entertainment. Blu-ray please?

From New Line Cinema and producer Zach Cregger (Director: Barbarian) comes the upcoming sci-fi/horror movie Companion, which has officially received its “R” rating this week.
Companion has been rated “R” by the MPA for…
“Strong violence, sexual content, and language throughout.”
The film’s cast includes Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets,” The Boogeyman) alongside Rupert Friend (Separation), Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Lukas Gage (“You”), Megan Suri (It Lives Inside), and Jack Quaid (Scream, “The Boys”).
Described as a sci-fi/horror movie, Companion will mark the directorial debut of Drew Hancock, who also wrote the script. At this time, plot details are under wraps.
In other words, we have no idea what to expect from this one. Stay tuned for more.
