Spanish director Àlex Pastor - the man behind the amazing and very awarded short movie Larutanatural - and his brother, David Pastor, pervert the rules of zombie movies in their feature-film, Carriers. The movie, which will be released on September 4 in Us (September 11 in Spain) begins with pandemic outbreak of a rare strain of flu to go into the reaction of men in extreme situations. We recently had the chance to talk with them.
Four kids are driving through the desert on the way to the beach, their faces anything but cheery: this isn’t Spring Break. They’re trying to outrun the end of the world – and each other. Determined to elude the deadly virus, Danny (Lou Taylor Pucci), his brother Brian (Chris Pine), his girlfriend Bobby (Piper Perabo) and Danny’s school friend Kate (Emily Vancamp) speed across the Southwestern U.S. to reach a place of possible safety.

Chris Pine is in final negotiations to star in the untitled Pastor brothers postapocalyptic thriller being produced by This Is That and distributed by Paramount Vantage. The Paramount specialty label pre-emptively bought the film shortly after January's Sundance Film Festival, where Alex Pastor was awarded the jury prize for international short for The Natural Route (La Ruta Natural), which he wrote and directed (HR 2/22). The untitled film, which will be written and directed by Alex and David Pastor, revolves around four friends trying to escape a viral pandemic in the American West who discover that they are more dangerous to one another than any virus. Pine would play one of the friends. This Is That's Anthony Bregman is producing the project alongside Ray Angelic. Pine, who recently starred opposite Lindsay Lohan in 20th Century Fox's Just My Luck, next will be seen in Universal Pictures' Smokin' Aces and Samuel Goldwyn Co.'s Blind Guy Driving. He is repped by SDB Partners, John Carrabino Management and attorney Stuart Berton.
