Remember Patient Zero? You know, Screen Gems’ infection thriller that stars both Matt Smith (“Doctor Who,” Terminator Genisys) and Academy Award nominee Stanley Tucci (The Hunger Games) that was completed back in 2015? Well, after getting pulled from its theatrical release last year, it appears that it will finally be unloaded this coming fall.
According to Amazon and Blu-ray.com, the Stefan Ruzowitzky-directed film will arrive on Blu-ray and DVD October 23, 2018, which also means a VOD release is likely day-and-date. (Thanks to Will G. for the tip.)
This pandemic thriller, which also stars Natalie Dormer (“Game of Thrones”), John Bradley (“Game of Thrones”), and Agyness Deyn (Clash of the Titans), sees humanity battling intelligent, adrenaline-fueled creatures born from a viral superstrain.
“An unprecedented global pandemic of a super strain of rabies has turned the majority of humankind into highly intelligent, streamlined killers known as ‘The Infected.’ One victim, Morgan (Matt Smith), who is asymptomatic and can communicate with the infected, leads the last survivors on a hunt for Patient Zero and a cure.”
“The great days of zombies are a little bit over. It’s time for something new,” said Ruzowitzky last year, adding that “the infected,” as they’re called, are “much sexier” than the undead. “They have a lot of energy, they’re fast, they’re good-looking. Not those walking vegetables.”
Watch for a trailer and official news as it comes in.
