TORONTO - Brandon Cronenberg is following in his filmmaker father's footsteps with a debut feature about disease and a celebrity-obsessed culture.
The son of "A Dangerous Method" director David Cronenberg begins shooting "Antiviral" next week in Hamilton and Toronto.
Brandon Cronenberg wrote and directed the thriller, which centres on an employee at a clinic that sells injections of live viruses harvested from sick celebrities to obsessed fans.
"Antiviral" stars Caleb Landry Jones of "X-Men: First Class," Sarah Gadon of "A Dangerous Method" and Malcolm McDowell of "A Clockwork Orange."
Producer Niv Fichman of Rhombus Media describes it as "a fascinating mystery."
