Lionsgate picked up U.S. distribution rights to the Barry Levinson-directed eco-horror film The Bay from Alliance Films. Michael Wallach wrote the script, and among the producers is the Paranormal Activity team. The pic chronicles a biological disaster unleashed from the waters in Chesapeake Bay. It’s an isopod parasite that carries an untreatable disease that jumps from fish to human hosts. ICM and CAA packaged the film.


Layton, Peli and Schneider have struck again! that’s two for two, and they must be pinching themselves. Blum can produce the hell out of a picture, but knows enough to know he doesn’t know anything about horror, but no doubt he’s thanking God he brought Schneider on board to make him rich after all those years when he couldn’t himself!
Couldn’t agree with you more!
Someone obviously read the articles from a few months back about the isopod parasite that swims into a fish’s mouth, eats its tongue and replaces it, and realized that it was the stuff of nightmares.

It’s actually a smart idea. In the same way that the parasitic wasps that lay their eggs inside hosts so the larvae can slowly eat them alive inspired the Alien films, maybe this can provide a whole new biological inspiration for horror movies.
