Viral outbreaks usually create zombies in the world of horror but Bumblebee filmmaker Travis Knight is taking a bit of a different approach with upcoming Netflix movie Uprising.
This one sounds a bit like I Am Legend…
Deadline details, “The film is set after a global viral outbreak turns people into vampires and follows CIA agent Lauren Webb, who works against the clock to uncover the truth behind a growing uprising that threatens to wipe out humanity.”
Being billed as an “action-thriller,” Uprising is being produced by 21 Laps (“Stranger Things”), and it’s an adaptation of Raymond Villareal’s A People’s History of the Vampire Uprising.
The latest draft of the script was written by Jeremy Slater (“The Exorcist”). Previous drafts, Deadline notes, were written by Jay Basu and JD Payne & Patrick McKay.
