IFC Midnight has acquired North American rights to the Travis Z-directed Cabin Fever remake, Bloody Disgusting learned.
A reboot of Eli Roth’s 2002 film of the same name, “Cabin Fever follows a group of five college graduates who rent a cabin in the woods. Soon, all hell breaks loose, as the group falls victim to a flesh-eating virus that attracts the unwanted attention of the homicidal locals.”
Travis Z’s film, with a screenplay by Eli Roth & Randy Pearlstein (based on a story by Roth), stars Gage Golightly, Matthew Daddario, Samuel Davis, Nadine Crocker, and Dustin Ingram.
“It was a great opportunity to recreate an iconic film for a new generation of horror fans,” said Travis Z. “I am a die hard fan of horror films and the king of horror Eli Roth trusted me to re-imagine his film. I was not going to fail.”
Back in March Roth said he was “blown away” by the remake.
The film was produced by Evan Astrowsky, Christopher Lemole and Tim Zajaros, and was executive produced by Roth, Cassian Elwes, Jerry Fruchtman, Peter Fruchtman and Ike and Jaclyn Suri.
IFC Midnight will release Cabin Fever in 2016.
