AFM '08: [REC] Sequel Begins Shooting November 10th

Filmax announced at this year's AFM that [REC] 2 is set to begin filming on November 10th. Here's the plot crunch given: Following the recent success of REC, we will be presenting the forthcoming sequel REC 2. 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. Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza are both reteaming to direct the sequel to the Spanish film that already spawned a remake here in the States (Quarantine).

Can't wait for the sequel, but like SNUFFY said when are we getting a US DVD release of the original?

Of course [REC] 2 is gonna be remade too. Julio Fernandez wants to shoot it only for cash (because he knows Quarantine will rock and there will be a Quarantine 2 movie, so the remakers will pay for the remake rights too). Smart guy.

[REC] was the scariest movie I'd ever seen on the big screen (Special midnight showing) and I seriously can't freaking wait for the sequel. Hopefully both get big releases in the States.

I absolutely loved the first one. It is on my very short list of horror movies that are actually scary, and it is, in fact, downright terrifying. I can't wait for the second one. I am not a Spanish speaker, but I don't mind subtitles, and I'll happily skip the remakes. That said, I am not sure where he can really go with this. [REC] was a pretty contained story that did not beg for a sequel. I hope he plans to actually progress the story and not just give us a repeat of the first. The "plot crunch" above had no plot elements in it, but was just a vague marketing statement.

I´ve read in Aullidos.com that the action of the film will take place a couple of hours after the ending of the first one...

i still haven't seen REC but i'm goin to very soon. I did see quarentine and i loved it. it was very intense, had me on the edge of my seat for the final 45 minutes. i'm a sucker for a good zombie movie.

In Quarantine they aren't zombies they have a sever case of rabis, which is explained in the middle of the movie. [Rec] SPOILERS is about demonic possesion so they really aren't zombie movies. so they aren't zombies Same goes for 28 Days/ Weeks Later its an infection of rage. But, [Rec 2] Should be good. I saw [Rec] right after Quarantine and it still scared me at the end. Not as much as Quarantine but its the cinematic and first time experience you'll love most. And I think [Rec] is getting released in the U.S sometime this year.
