Justin Long, Iris Apatow In Talks for Killer-Bee Thriller 'Stung' From Colin Minihan

The team is shopping the contained horror title to Cannes buyers to secure financing.

Overview

  • Trade outlets, which published their reports Thursday, said Long and Apatow are negotiating to star as the project gears up for production.
  • Director Colin Minihan will helm Stung, a survival story about four teenage girls trapped in a luxury Orange County home overrun by Africanized killer bees.
  • Producers Andre Relis and Jib Polhemus tapped VMI Worldwide to present the film at the Cannes market, a standard pre-sales move used to help fund independent features.
  • Minihan said the film draws on a primal fear of an unstoppable swarm while focusing on friendship, trust, and survival under pressure.
  • Minihan recently teamed with Long on Coyotes and the pair plan a Grave Encounters reboot, signaling an ongoing creative partnership as more casting news is expected in the coming months.
