Originally titled The Green Effect, it was rejected by the studios he shopped it to, yeah…not such a good sign. But, after a rewrite, and a name change, it was picked up by Fox and is currently set for a June 13th release.  Hopefully the happening is a LOT better then last year’s Friday the 13th release (The Omen).
