Getting Frosty

Variety says that Modern Warfare 2 video game director Keith Arem will make his feature film debut calling action on a movie called Frost Road.

The thriller is about a young man who awakens from a car wreck to discover he’s one of the few survivors of a devastating outbreak which has hit a small East Coast town. He’s immune and so he sets about trying to save people and keep the contagion from spreading and wiping out humanity on a global scale.

"[I'm] thrilled to have the opportunity to bring the skills I've honed in the game industry to the big screen," said Arem--who will also work on the script that he plans on developing the project as a graphic novel too.

"There's an incredible talent pool currently working in the game industry, and I hope that the success of Frost Road will give other creators the chance to show what they can do on a wider canvas."

Cary Brokaw and Steven L'Heureux will produce.

I think it's a cool switcheroo given how noteworthy Arem's VG work has been and how cinematic game play has become. But another mysterious outbreak tale?...
