7061_article With Quarantine due out soon, Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza, the Spanish writing-directing team behind Rec, the Spanish film on which the Hollywood remake is based on, spoke to Fangoria about what they think about the film’s transition to Hollywood.

“It is a horror film," said Balagueró. "What they’re trying to do is turn a film that could very well be successful on the art-house circuit, even if subtitled, into one that could potentially be successful as a mainstream, teen-oriented movie. Which is, by the way, the same market that doesn’t like reading at the movies in Spain."

They also talk about Cloverfield, a film which employs similar style of visual representation, among other topics. The pair also reveal that they are currently preparing a sequel to Rec, with word that they will begin shooting after Quarantine’s release.
