“Don’t Breathe” and “Evil Dead” remake filmmaker Fede Alvarez is attached to direct the pandemic thriller “16 States” which has been won by Lionsgate and Vertigo Entertainment.
John Requa and Glenn Ficarra (“Focus,” “Crazy, Stupid, Love”) penned the script about a mother trying to reach her family at the center of a zombie pandemic and is said to have shades of the Will Smith-led “I Am Legend”.
Requa and Ficarra have been working on the project since last year, but world events caught up to the script. Roy Lee, Miri Yoon, Requa, Ficarra, Alvarez, Shintaro Shimosawa, Rodolfo Sayagues and Charlie Gogolak are all producing.
