Directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky from a script by Mike Le, the action thriller will take place in a time when a potent strain of rabies has evolved, turning those infected into gibbering, psychotic goons. Sounds a bit like most cinematic strains of rabies, but we'll remain optimistic on account of the talent that's attached.

Drafting in an all-female cast and a new story, it will include several subtle nods to the original series, but for the most part it's expected to emerge as a standalone movie.

In fact, the year-long awards trail Linklater has trekked might have even caused the director to contemplate another look at boy-turned-man, Mason.
