Full Plot Details For Both [REC] Sequels, Genesis and Apocalypse!

Thanks to BD reader “RECFAN”, we’ve now landed the official plot crunch to Paco Plaza’s [REC]3: Genesis and Jaume Balagueró’s [REC]4: Apocalypse.

Leticia Dolera and Diego Martin star in Genesis, which is seeking a release later this year: In the film, the action now takes place miles away from the original location and partly in broad daylight giving the film an entirely fresh yet disturbing new reality. The infection has left the building. In a clever twist that draws together the plots of the first two movies this third part of the saga also works as a decoder to uncover information hidden in the first two films and leaves the door open for the final installment the future [REC]4 Apocalypse.

After the break we’ve posted the synopses for both films. READ MORE

English Subbed Version of Full Length [REC] 3 Genesis Trailer!

*Updated with an exclusive look at the English-subbed version!

The film, written by Luis Berdejo, stars Leticia Dolera and Diego Martin and take the infection to a wedding reception. Have your cake and eat it too (yeah, I went there).

AFM 11: [REC] 3 Genesis Trailer Seen, New Images!

While at the AFM we caught a sneak peak at the full trailer for Paco Plaza’s [REC] 3 Genesis, which will open in Spain March 30, 2012. The footage was outstanding taking the scope out of te box and expanding it across an entire wedding reception. Also, it’s worth noting that my logic dictates that the movie begins as one of the building attendants, who was not around in the first or second REC, is attending the wedding. Check out some newly scanned images inside.

We’ve also included some concept imagery for Jaume Balagueró’s [REC] 4 Apocalypse. READ MORE

Filmax is pulling no punches in getting us excited about REC: Genesis, the third film in Spanish-language cinema verite franchise that’s currently in production under co-creator Paco Plaza.

In the first batch of stills the studio already took us into the bloody wedding, while they’ve just released another slew of imagery highlighting the same gruesome bridesmaid. I hope she caught the bouquet…

“The sequel encompasses the events of the first two films and after the sense of claustrophobia previously experiences. The action now takes place miles away from the original location and partly in broad daylight giving the film an entirely fresh yet disturbing new reality. The infection has left the building. In a clever twist that draws together the plots of the first two movies this third part of the saga also works as a decoder to uncover information hidden in the first two films and leaves the door open for the final installment the future ‘REC 4 Apocalypse.’ ”

After a slew of fan-made posters were debunked, Bloody Disgusting received official word from Filmax International that Paco Plaza is fully stocked up for a zombie apocalypse and will be going behind cameras on REC 3: Genesis next Monday, April 4.

The pic is said to carry the essence of the first two REC pics, co-directed by Plaza and Jaume Balagueró, who will act as creative producer this time around. He will direct the fourth installment, Apocalypse.

As previously reported, Leticia Dolera (Spanish Movie, Semen, A Love Story, “White Glove”) and Diego Martin (Three Meters Above the Sky, “There Is No One Alive”) both star.

The script, written by Luiso Berdejo (writer also REC) and Paco Plaza, recovers the essence of the first installment, which terrified the public. The shoot will be held for 7 weeks in several locations in Barcelona.

Fans of Filmax’s REC franchise get ready for two more films as co-creator Paco Plaza is now in pre-production on REC: Genesis, the third film that set up the fourth and final REC: Apocalypse.

Bloody Disgusting learned exclusively that Leticia Dolera (pictured) – who ironically played a reporter in the REC spoof Spanish Movie – and Diego Martin will topline the Spanish-language film that’s shooting to be completed in 2011.

Bloody Disgusting scored a hi-res look at the very first two teaser posters (but to be very clear, they are not final art) for Paco Plaza’s REC Genesis and Jaume Balaguero’s REC Apocalypse, the last two Spanish-language gore pics in the hit zombie franchise that continues the cinema verite-style of horror. Skedded for delivery fall 2011 and fall 2012, Genesis and Apocalypse were greenlit by Filmax Entertainment, one of Spain’s leading production outfits, in May. REC and REC2, which bowed at Venice and played Spain’s Sitges festival, have been critical and commercial successes — even yielding a U.S. remake, Jennifer Carpenter starrer Quarantine, exec produced by Filmax’ managing director Carlos Fernandez and chairman Julio Fernandez.

The same talented directors stick to the same claustrophobic concept in REC 2, but find new means of transferring fear from the screen to the spectator through the recording lens.

The highly anticipated sequel to one of the scariest films of all time, [REC] 2 picks up 15 minutes from where we left off, taking us back into the quarantined apartment building where a terrifying virus has run rampant, turning the occupants into mindlessly violent, raging beasts. A heavily armed SWAT team and a mysterious government official are sent in to assess and attempt to neutralize the situation. What they find inside lies beyond the scope of medical science—a demonic nightmare of biblical proportions more terrifying than they could have possibly imagined. Above all it must be contained, before it escapes to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting world outside.
