June 24th, 2015 –
(Burbank) This fall, Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist Industries brings you a new
vision of terror with sci-fi horror film The Hive, the first release
under his Nerdist Presents film label. Nerdist is bringing the film to
Comic-Con for fans to get their first look at the future of horror; a film
James Gunn calls, “The most horrifying love story ever!”
From the producer
of Scream, Nerdist Presents The Hive turns the contagion genre on
its proverbial bleeding ear. The cross-genre thriller starring Gabriel Basso (Kings
of Summer, Super 8), Kathryn Prescott (MTV’s Finding Carter, Skins),
Jacob Zachar (Greek) and Gabrielle Walsh (Vampire Diaries, Paranormal
Activity: The Marked Ones) received raves after its debut at Fantastic Fest
in Austin and Nerdist Founder and CEO Chris Hardwick said, “THIS MOVIE IS SO MUCH DAMN FUN. The first
time I saw it I was blown away by how fresh and inventive the story was, which
is no small feat in horror. I knew right away I wanted to help get this movie
into the eyes and earholes of horror fans.”
When Camp Yellow
Jacket has fallen into chaos, teen counselor Adam wakes up in a boarded up
cabin with no memory of who or where he is. His only clue as to what’s
happening are the notes he’s scrawled for himself on the walls and the
disturbing physical transformation he must overcome. The only memories he has
aren’t his own, yet those memories may be the key to Adam’s survival.
In speaking on the
release, prolific horror producer Cary Granat, who made the film with producers
Ed Jones, Vincent Seiber, and Jared Mass, said, “We are thrilled to
have the Nerdist Presents brand on The Hive. The Nerdist team
reminds me so much of the early days of Dimension in that they are aggressive,
smart, innovative, in touch with their audience, and focused on creating new
rules to marketing.”
Coming to theaters
and digital movie platforms this fall, Nerdist Presents The Hive is the
next generation of horror film from Director Dave Yarovesky with fast paced
scares, biting humor and a wicked soundtrack featuring Steve Aoki.
