Go Behind-the-Scenes of Barry Levinson’s Now Filming ‘The Bay’
Yesterday we broke the news that Will Rogers (Happy New Year), Steven Kunken (All Good Things, “Law & Order”), Kether Donohue, Frank Deal (“Fringe,” Antibody), Christopher Denham (Shutter Island), and Kristin Connelly (Bicentennial Man ) would all star in Barry Levinson’s The Bay (aka Isopod), which is now filming in Georgetown County, SC. Check out some behind-the-scenes videos below. From a screenplay by Michael Wallach, on the 4th of July in 2011, an unprecedented biological disaster is unleashed from the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. An isopod parasite, carrying untreatable, mutated diseases, jumps from fish to human host and replaces them with itself. Seven years later, the true horror and scope of the event, captured mainly on home videos by the town’s now long-dead victims, is revealed to the public for the first time. The pic is being produced by Paranormal Activity/Insidious/Area51 team of Jason Blum, Oren Peli and Steven Schneider, along with Brian Kavanagh Jones (Skyline, Insidious).

Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
