UPDATE! We've just found out the image is a fake. Disappointing. Stay tuned to CB and we'll let you know as soon as there's something real.
REC 2 has only been in theaters for two weeks, but director Paco Plaza is already hard at work on the franchise’s third film, the prequel Rec: Genesis. Plaza co-wrote the script with Luis Berdejo and it focuses on how this whole virus got out to begin with. I imagine Dr. Owen (Jonathan David Mellor), the priest introduced in REC 2, will be at the center of the story. He’s the guy in the forefront of this very first image from Genesis posted on Shock Till You Drop. The man in the background is Juan Albelda (Jose Mellinas). We’ve never seen him before, but we do know of his father, Father Albeda who’s mentioned in REC 2.
So what’s going on in this image? I’m not positive, but it kind of looks like they’re strapped into some sort of carnival ride. Perhaps that could account for the blurriness. Plus, I’m pretty sure that’s a Ferris wheel with lights in the background. What would this mean? I’ve got no clue, but getting a glimpse at some of the action does make the fall of 2011 not feel like ages away.
