PROJECT DETAILS:

This project has reportedly been in and out of development for over 15 years. Apparently since the movie did so poorly at the Canadian box office the filmmakers have had a hard time getting the right producers to back the project. At this point it seems like it's in some sort of development hell stage. Either way, if you're curious about what could've been, you can read an old interview with writer Tony Burgess on what this and the third installment would've been like here. (10/25/23)

Writer Tony Burgess finally gave somewhat of an update on this sequel recently, where he reveals that he and the producers are "confident" that production will begin sometime this year. (4/4/18)

Director Bruce McDonald originally hoped to begin pre-production sometime in January 2010.

It's said that we'll see a wider-scale of the infected this time.

This film will reportedly feature a whole new cast.

Also based on the book Pontypool Changes Everything by writer Tony Burgess.

This is the second installment in a planned trilogy.
