McDonald returning to direct
Bruce McDonald is returning to the director’s chair with Pontypool Changes, a sequel to his Pontypool which opens May 29th.
Producer Jeffrey Coghlan confirmed rumors in Cannes today that the Pontypool sequel is scheduled to lens in early 2010, reuniting McDonald with Pontypool screenwriter Tony Burgess, who adapted the original from his book “Pontypool Changes Everything.”
Pontypool, named after the small town in which it’s set, features veteran character actor Stephen McHattie, as a cantankerous radio DJ trapped within the station’s walls as a deadly virus consumes the town, turning its citizens into cannibalistic zombie-like creatures.
IFC In Theatres releases the film May 29th day and date on its VOD platform.
