The Indomina Group announced on Halloween that they are bringing back the “Cabin Fever” franchise as well as produce and distribute at least two more feature films.

According to the press release, The Indomina Group, the quickly-growing American and Dominican Republic-based producer and distributor of film, television and trans-media content as well as the leading proponent of “fanboy” cinema,” optioned the rights for two new “Cabin Fever” installments called “Cabin Fever: Patient Zero” and “Cabin Fever: Outbreak.” Jake Wade Wall will write the screenplay for “Patient Zero,” “Outbreak” is being written by Adam and Deborah Marcus, and both films will be shot back-to-back in the Dominican Republic in the early part of spring 2012.

“Patient Zero” involves a cruise ship and a research vessel colliding in an accident that spreads a sickness:

“When a cruise ship in the Caribbean collides with an abandoned research vessel, a deadly virus is unleashed. Passengers must find a way to survive before the flesh eating disease consumes them all.”

“Outbreak” involves a doctor and his family in the Caribbean:

“…[A] doctor and his family travel to a remote Caribbean island to investigate a minor flu outbreak, only to discover a vicious flesh-eating virus that threatens everyone on the island. The family is faced with responsibility to prevent a worldwide epidemic.”

Indomina Group Vice Chairman and CEO Jasbinder Singh Mann said Indomina Releasing sees “tremendous potential” in the “Cabin Fever” franchise. “We are committing to two new ‘Cabin Fever’ films because there is a real demand from a devout fanbase–not just ‘Cabin Fever’ die hards but a large and vocal group of horror fans around the world. Indomina is excited to take the reigns of the franchise and deliver on these next two films.”
