“COOTIES” TRAILER PLUS CAST AND CREW INTERVIEWS!
In this lively horror/comedy, Elijah Wood and Rainn Wilson play teachers who band together with their fellow staff members in an effort to survive the night after a middle school campus is besieged by prepubescent zombie students. Yes, it’s as crazy as it sounds.
With the success of AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” and the Jonathan Levine directed WARM BODIES, and the potential success of the recent Arnold Schwarzenegger-fronted slow-burn MAGGIE, and next month’s Joe Dante helmed zom-rom-com BURYING THE EX, it’s clear that zombies are still a hot commodity, so you had to know that it was only a matter of time until someone came up with a story about a virus that turns little kids into rabid monsters. Where said virus comes from is but one of the funniest (and scariest) aspects of this infectiously likable fusion of horror and laugh-out-loud hilarity.
COOTIES was co-written by SAW and INSIDIOUS screenwriter Leigh Whannell and not only does this creative individual pepper his latest effort with dozens of spirited horror references, but he also turns in scene stealing work as a most inspired supporting player. That’s right! In addition to his keen writing skills, Whannell proves to have expert comic timing as well.
Today, yahoo premiered the trailer for the upcoming September 18th release, COOTIES. In addition to the trailer, here’s a look at our interview with COOTIES cast members Elijah Wood, Leigh Whannell, and Alison Pill, as well as directors Jonathan Millot and Cary Murnion. The entire team proved to be very friendly and extremely accessible. Whannell was even kind enough to dish a bit on his directorial debut, INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 3, which opens on June 5th.
