Abigail Breslin is set to star in Peste, a thriller about a contagious virus sweeping through a small town that Octane, IM Global’s genre label, is financing and shopping at Cannes. The film, to be directed by Mark Ponderai (House at the End of the Street) and produced by Sheryll Clark (Cloverfield), is scheduled to begin production in September, IM Global’s CEO Stuart Ford announced.

Peste is based on Barbara Marshall’s screenplay, which appeared on the Black List, the Blood List and the Hit List in 2012.

Breslin, a supporting actress Oscar nominee for 2006’s Little Miss Sunshine, will play a teenager confronting a virus that turns friends and neighbors into vicious monsters. Quarantined with her family, she believes they are out of harm’s way until the contagion infiltrates their home.

Breslin, repped by ICM and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Adler & Feldman, will next be see in Summit/Oddlot’s Ender’s Game and The Weinstein Co.’s August: Osage County.

"Abigail is one of the outstanding talents of her generation. Her recent standout performances in genre hits like Zombieland, The Call and the forthcoming Ender’s Game make her a perfect fit for Peste," Ford said.

The "Ender's Game" trailer was released this week! The movie looks epic. I really can't wait to see it!

After her showy turn in “The Call”, young Abigail Breslin is set for a bigger gig, playing the female lead in writer/director Mark Young’s crime thriller “Wicked Blood”.

Sean Bean, James Purefoy, and Alexa Vega are already set for the pic. Story tells of a teenage girl, Hannah (Breslin) who makes an enemy out of her fearful crook Uncle Frank (Sean Bean), who runs the illegal family business with an iron fist, when she falls for his rival (Purefoy).

Vega, of “Spy Kids” and “Machete Kills”, plays Breslin’s sister.

17-year-old Breslin got her break playing young Violet in Fox Searchlight’s Indy smash “Little Miss Sunshine” in 2006, since then she’s appeared in such films as “Zombieland”, “My Sister’s Keeper”, “New Year’s Eve” and the abovesaid Halle Berry thriller “The Call”, which chalked up considerable business for producer WWE Films.

Director Young’s credits include “Tooth and Nail” starring Rider Strong and Michael Madsen, “The Killing Jar”, again with Madsen, and “Southern Gothic” with William Forsythe.

I’ve really enjoyed Young’s stuff, think he’s a crafty filmmaker that could really impress given a sizeable budget, and have high hopes for “Wicked Blood”.

I can't believe I'm writing this (time flies!), but... Happy 17th Birthday, Abbie! We hope you have the most incredible day with all your family and friends.

Abigail has been busy promoting "The Call"! A few days ago she was on the "Late Show With Jimmy Fallon". It's a short interview, but it's still worth watching. Stills can also be found in our gallery.
