One of the films producers was quoted saying: "With such a beloved YA novel as our source material by Courtney and an incredibly talented cast in Olivia, Froy and Luke, I couldn’t be more excited to begin filming with Adam, whose work I’ve been a fan of since Backcountry. It’s going to be an intense ride from beginning to end. We’re dead set on making an intense, emotional, and gripping film set in the ‘90’s — a ‘Breakfast Club’ meets ’28 Weeks Later’ — as we follow our heroine’s journey and ask ourselves, what do you hold onto when everything is gone?"
Author Courtney Summers said the following: "As a longtime horror movie fan, I’ve loved Adam MacDonald’s wildly intense and sharply realized contributions to the genre, and I’m thrilled he’s sharing his talents with ‘This is Not a Test.’ From its stellar script to its exciting cast, his and Cybill’s enthusiasm for the book and their passion for filmmaking has and continues to define every part of this process. I can’t wait to see the story come to life–or should I say death?–and claim its place in the zombie canon."
Directed by Adam MacDonald (Backcountry, Pyewacket, Out Come the Wolves).
Based on the YA novel with the same name from New York Times bestselling author Courtney Summers.
