French Paco Plaza’s [REC] 3: GENESIS Poster

Today a new poster for Paco Plaza‘s upcoming [REC] 3: Genesis, an upcoming Spanish horror film sequel to 2009’s REC 2 and third film of the REC series, have been released. The third chapter of the saga will have spectators back on the edge of their seats with more action and more humor that will take us back to the essence of the first film: true to life characters and scenarios that the audience can’t help but relate to. Here’s the official synopsis for the film

The original [REC] crew are back, ready to submit their ensemble cast to another fight for survival against the zombie infection, this time to the backdrop of an original soundtrack. This new chapter will see the film ‘open up’ by using a more traditional cinematographic style. However the film’s roots have not been forgotten and viewers will still be immersed in the action, watching certain events unfold through the eye of the video camera. The action in [REC]3 Genesis encompasses the events of the first two films, and after the sense of claustrophobia previously experienced, the action now takes place miles away from the original location and partly in broad daylight, giving the film an entirely fresh, yet disturbing new reality. The infection has left the building. In a clever twist that draws together the plots of the first two movies, this third part of the saga also works as a decoder to uncover information hidden in the first two films and leaves the door open for the final instalment, the future [REC]4 Apocalypse.

[REC] 3: Genesis is scheduled to hit theaters on March 30th, 2012.
