BD just
learned that Lightning Entertainment has wrapped principal photography last week on Quarantine 2: Terminal. While Quarantine was a pretty faithful remake of Rec, the sequel takes the survivors in a new direction from Rec 2– namely, up in the air. The official synopsis:
“In QUARANTINE, an apartment building in Los Angeles was quarantined by the CDC (Center for Disease Control), trapping the frightened residents inside as a deadly mutant virus turned the residents into rabid killers. QUARANTINE 2: TERMINAL picks up later that night at LAX, as passengers board a flight to Nashville. When a passenger becomes violently ill with a mysterious rabies-like virus, the plane makes an emergency landing at a large metropolitan airport. Jenny (Mercedes Masohn, CBS’s “Three Rivers”), a heroic yet inexperienced flight attendant, takes charge of the safety of her passengers. Relieved when a swarm of heavily equipped emergency vehicles, police units and the CDC arrive, Jenny and the passengers soon discover that they have been quarantined and are now trapped. Desperate to escape, Jenny enlists the help of one of the surviving passengers, a kindergarten teacher, Henry (Josh Cooke, A Fork In The Road, I Love you Man), to devise a plan to survive.”
John Pogue, writer of such films as the Rollerball remake, Ghost Ship, and The Skulls 1-3 will write and direct.
“I was a big admirer of REC and the work that [John] Dowdles did on
QUARANTINE, so I was thrilled when given the opportunity to write and
direct the sequel”, says Director John Pogue. “QUARANTINE 2: TERMINAL
will expand the mythology behind the first film for fans and ramp up the
twisted thrills, building on that universal fear of being trapped on an
airplane.”
Rob Hall (The Crazies, Quarantine) will provide special effects.
More on the film as we hear it, but don’t forget that Rec 2 is in theaters right now! Quarantine is available on Netflix Instant as well, but it’s definitely recommended that you watch the original first.

I just saw Rec 2 last night at the Mntréal Fantasia film festival, and let me tell you, this movie doesn't need no fucking plane. It's set in the same damn building and while it's a little less scary than the first, it explain a lot of things in the mythology.
And Quarantine sucks balls.
Considering how REC 2 took the series in such an interesting and out-of-left-field direction, the path they're taking on the American counterpart sounds so pedestrian. "Remember the first one? Well, it's more of the same, but at an airport!"
No mention of this being shot in the first person POV like the other movies. Or should it be assumed?
Mythology? Can we please get over ourselves?
"John Pogue, writer of such films as the Rollerball remake, Ghost Ship, and The Skulls 1-3 will write and direct." —– That's all I had to see to not want to watch it.
Woohoo! Nashville! No wait. Holy shit! Nashville! Shoot down that plane!
This concept was already done in Flight Of The Living Dead
..why?
@ #4: Well… Mythology is a pretty big word here but… you know what I mean, if you've seen it, right? It's not Lost, of course, but it does go deeper than most recents Z-flicks.
Oh and fuck Lost and its ending.
If I found myself trapped on a plane with a bunch of zombies the first person I'd turn to would be a kindergarten teacher. We'd finger paint those zombies to death.
I like the concept of being stuck on a plane with zombies, but we all know they'll just fuck up any interesting parts.
REC 2 was absolutely awful. Quarantine 2 sounds even worse. (The writer of the "Rollerball" remake? *shudder*)
"I was a big admirer of REC and the work that [John] Dowdles did on QUARANTINE…" = EPIC FUCKING FAIL. Fuck you, Hollywood. In the assmouth.
Rec 2 had some great moments and I really liked the direction they took it in. Quarantine was decent, but the sequel sounds like rotten ass. Setting it on an airplane just sounds like a blatant cost saving move. Why not just have it take place in a bathroom or janitorial closet?
Ok first off, REC 2 Was A big piece off Shit! They turned it into a stupid religious action movie! WTF! REC1 and Quarantine were pretty damn good. Quarantine2 isnt following REC 2 and for a good reason. This one is promising. Oh, AND THE ENTIRE MOVIE WON'T BE ON THE PLANE YOU FUCKING RETARDS. "the plane makes an emergency landing at a large metropolitan airport." How can people be so dumb? I'm looking forward to this movie.
They are making another Quarantine? What flipping idiot thought of that? Just like all the other movies like that bilge, they rely on shock to scare, idiotic camera angles meant to put us in the mood,(which actually makes you want to reach for an air sickness bag). This crap should go DVD direct. Oh let me guess each person is killed off one by one, leaving only the principle character left who then is mysteriously snatched out of camera view by then unseen creatures at the end. Ok, so like this hasn't been done before? Straight up bilge. Don't waste your money seeing this junk.
First off, I agree with Unknown User (only one by that name) on seeing who the director's name and reconsidering seeing this film. Not because of the director himself, but for the direction this sequel is going. The first film is in LA, while the sequel is in Atlanta…how is THAT possible? The virus got across the country instantaneously? We know the dog was the starting point of the virus, possibly biting more than one person, then through saliva/vomit/blood rats were the next to be infected. Anyone not bitten by the dog and/or an infected person was bitten by the rats. As for the 'mythology' comment, it depends on someones point of view. To be legally DEAD and come back cannot be done, and falls under a biblical myth. However, it IS possible that a virus could be spread from person to person through bites. A virus that is engineered as a bio-weapon could affect the brain while slowly killing off the body. If the brain is affected and INFECTED, it will not give the body the proper commands to take care of itself…like fighting off diseases and VIRUSES.
Man I really don't know what to think of this – It sounds terribly stupid, which is upsetting because both first films (rec and quarantine) were both successfully horrifying. Certainly the first time you see them, and its one of the few films I can re watch (after enough time passes between viewings) and be genuinely scared again, despite knowing what will happen, thanks to its fast paced, unsuspecting and unrelentless claustrophobic terror! I'm someone whose more interested in answers, not so much seeing the same thing happen again some place else. Last time we were in an old sketchy building, you could only go up or downstairs, how can you repeat similar events at an airport and keep that claustrophobia that made the first film so suspenseful? How do you quarantine an entire airport and make it scary? its just going to be hundreds of people running from hundreds of zombies, how is such chaos actually contained? And kept secret? Being in that building made these things possible. I want to know what the deal is with the 'boy', who smacks the camera when they take a peak in the attic in the 1st film. And how did they never realize the dude living in the pent house? What type, or version of the virus did he have that didn't send him after all the other people in the building the entire time he was up there infected? How long was he up there seeing how the building owner had assumed he had been gone for months? Wikipedia says the dude was apart of a doomsday cult that broke into a chemical weapons lab and stole the virus, like what the fuck? are you serious? People let that shit happen? The dude was obviously testing the shit on the rats, but with what purpose?? An infected rat bit the dog, got the girl sick, and I guess a rat got the old lady sick which is how this whole thing started, so how does the sequel start "Later that night at LAX" ?? I guess when the cult stole the shit they each took some and went their separate ways. I want this to be good, but it wont, which is sad.
