WaZabi Films have boarded sales on the new zombie thriller Devil Inside, which is to star Australian actors Rachael Taylor (pictured below; The Loft, Shutter, Man-Thing) and Ryan Kwanten (pictured above; “True Blood”, Flight 7500, Dead Silence), reports Screen Daily.
“The film centers on Eva (Taylor), a frustrated vet who has suffered a miscarriage and takes a trip to the rainforest with her partner Alex (Kwanten) in an attempt to save their relationship.
“When Alex gets bitten by a stray dog, Eva suspects the viral Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumour Disease has jumped species. As the infection spreads through the local male population and turns them into raging psychopaths who kill every woman in sight, Eva must choose between saving Alex or saving the rest of humanity.”
Jonathan auf der Heide (Van Diemen’s Land, ‘Fog’ segment in The Turning) will direct with the genre title that is scheduled to shoot in Tasmania in spring 2020.
David Ngo (Rabbit, One Eyed Girl) produces, and Bryce Menzies (Hotel Mumbai) and Clement Dunn (Ghost Hunters) are the executive producers. Oscar-winning New South Wales-based prosthetics and effects aces Odd Studio, which has worked on Mad Max: Fury Road and Alien: Covenant among many others, has also come on board.
