CANNES - Acclaimed director Bruce McDonald returns to the director's chair with "PONTYPOOL CHANGES", a sequel to his highly anticipated psychological thriller "PONTYPOOL". 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'.
Horror fan and blog sites are already buzzing, and early reviews for Pontypool are calling the tensely intelligent thriller McDonald's best film ever and one of the scariest films in years.

"PONTYPOOL", named after the small town in which it's set, features veteran character actor Stephen McHattie ("WATCHMEN", "300", "A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE") 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 on its VOD platform, which reaches more than 50 million homes in the US. The early demand surprised Coghlan, who said, 'Fan and distributor reactions have been overwhelming, and the script for the sequel takes a whole new side to the story and really opens it up for more action, and more scares. It's brilliant.'

"PONTYPOOL" has its final marketplace screening in Cannes on Monday, May 18, at 5:30 pm with worldwide sales being handled by Forward Motion Entertainment.

Synopsis : The film is set in a radio station in Pontypool, a small village in Ontario, Canada, where one day the morning team starts taking reports of extreme, bloody incidents of violence occurring in town. As the story unfolds, the radio staff soon realizes the violence that is ripping society apart is due to a virus being spread through the English language. That in turn poses a problem for a yappy radio jock and his staff holed up in the broadcast booth housed in the basement of the town's abandoned church as a slaughter rages beyond its walls.
