Is Infected being made into a movie?

I've just this week devoured "Infected" and "Contagious" - can anyone tell me if they are going to make Infected into a movie?

 

I've seen reference to it here on the forum but can't find any other info on www.imdb.com....

Re: Is Infected being made into a movie?

Scott said he was working on having a screenplay written so that Infected CAN be made into a movie.  The FDO says it will be done!

Re: Is Infected being made into a movie?
On the back flap of the hardcover CONTAGIOUS novel, it says, "Scott's first hardcover release, INFECTED, was translated into a dozen languages and is being adapted for film by Random House Films/Rogue Pictures."  It's so sick that the book is gonna be a movie - think of all the new Junkies we'll get ...

Re: Is Infected being made into a movie?

Infected had been optioned by Rogue pictures.  But they were bought out by Relativity Media who did not act on the Infected option and since then the option has expired. Scott is now collaborating with Matt F'n Wallace to write a screen play for Infected that they can present when the opportunity arises. (I think this is all correct)

No idea if it got picked up again. I'm sure Scott will be talking to the movie folks when he's in LA.

    Re: Is Infected being made into a movie?

    Didn't Scott suggest Josh Hartnett in the Q&A at the end of Contagious as a possible Perry?  I'm not sure if i can see him in that role, but then again, i can't think of anyone else!

    I can see Jake Busey as Perry but he may be getting on a bit now.

    I am actually glad that the movie was never made. I remember the interview Scott did with the screenwriter and I was horrified to hear that he was taking out the chicken scissors scene.  That would have been a a dissapointment

    I hope this gets made into a movie.  And as for a screenplay/script, I'd just use the book!! If they leave anything out of the movie I will be very VERY sad :\

     

    DO NOT EAT WHILE READING THE INFECTED SERIES. HEAD THIS WARNING!

    Re: Is Infected being made into a movie?

    I really think that the actor Kevin Durand would be a good fir for Perry.  If you watched Lost you know him as Keamy

    bulk him up a bit (OK a lot) But height wise and look hes great and he does crazy mean pretty well. And Im still stuck on Rowdy Roddy Pipper as Papa Dawsey, he has the size. the look and he sounds just like Papa on the Podcast. And Rosie "Mad Cow" O'Donnell as Fatty Patty just so I can see her die horribly!!

    who needs a screen play when you got a well written book to go off of.

    Re: Is Infected being made into a movie?

    Last I heard, and that was a while ago, Scott's plan for getting any of his novels made into plays was turning them into graphic novels, as movie companies find it easier to flip through and get the gist of and make it into a movie, compared to them having to actually read a book and work from that. I didn't think there was ever anything official that stemmed from that, but I see progress on a graphic novel now...

    Don't you hurt him!  Wink

    What movie did he try to do an American accent in?  Maybe it was just so bad it never occured to me that he was trying for an American accent...

    Check out the movie, The One, I don't know what accent he's going for in that but it's almost painful.

    Gotta be Nick Mangold (Jets Center) as Perry but only if the guy can act...

     

    Statham would be terrible as Dawsey, totally ruin a potentially epic movie
