That’s right, Junkies - INFECTION has been optioned for a movie by Rogue Pictures, the same sweet cats that made SHAWN OF THE DEAD (although now it’s known as INFESTED, the same title it will have when it comes out in hardcover in June, 2008). Now this doesn’t mean it’s going to be a movie for sure, they just bought the right to make it into a movie. Still, fuckin’ good times! Click on the sexy Rogue Pictures logo to read more.
Hi Scott,
Congratulations! looking forward to see it.
(Is it my sick imagination, or did I suggest that name in one of the comments I made a year or so ago?)
Nice going there Scott. I hope it gets picked up for filming. No more hoping for scifi to get Ancestor!
Now, we just need to get earthcore into a movie.
I NEED MY FIX SCOTT!
The ball is well and truly ROLLING!
The Siglerization of the entertainment world HAS BEGUN!!!
Congratulations, Scott … we are pulling for you 110%!
Great news Scott, you’re well deserving of this honor. Question is, who would be the ideal “Perry Dawsey”? Someone with red hair, muscular… someone everyone is afraid of… Obvious answer:
Chuck Norris
You’d probably have to write in a few lines for his beard though. Good luck with that.
Holycrapholycrapholycrapholycrap!
This sounds too good to be true. It is going to be playing in all theaters right? Even up here in Canada?
I wonder how many changes they are going have to make it suitable for theaters? That probably means no chicken sissors ;_;
That’s fucking awesome. You need to incorporate “Save Perry’s Balls!!” as part of the online advertising.
Do you think they’ll leave out the part where Perry cuts off his own junk? That was gross enough to hear about - I can’t imagine SEEING it!
Congrats, Scott! You are well on your way to world domination!
Wow, such an official press release! This looks so good. My favorite part is this, though:
Steve Ross, Senior Vice President and Publisher, Crown Publishers, commented,
“INFESTED will be one of our biggest books for next spring, and we are thrilled about
our multi-book arrangement with Scott.”
Whoa, one their biggest books? Awesome awesome awesome!
OMFG Scott! That fucking rox! My wife and I were just discussing if there is a rateing higher than NC-17? Hard core porn ratings? But its not really porn. Unless you consider some fat chick being eaten away from the inside… porn. O.o (If you do, you have some seriuos issues.)
But one question. Dont they usually make parady movies? I wonder…..
Good on ya!
Just watch the Ancestor promo and the Infection one.
One. Get some chicken sissors and a box…
Two. Cut off your Junk…
Three. Put your junk in that boooxxx!!
Or something like that, anyway, One step closer to world domination.
So, I say Steve Buscemi plays Perry’s friend. That would be awesome. So, the movie Perry is going to whisper “Chicken Scissors” throughout the movie too right? That should definitely be in the contract.
Well done Scott fingers crossed they actually make it for our sick and twisted minds - Chicken scissors you gotta have those in the film!

You’re one bad ass mofo. I’m not sure the real world can handle you, let alone the Junkies.
holy fucking shit Scott, you are truly on your way to becoming the king of the world (and if the future progresses as the Rookie would have us believe, the universe). you do not realize hoe excentric i am about this. i just have one more thing to say, dont let this fall through like the Sci-fi thing did.
Muwhahaha Sigler will rule us all. Meanwhile back in reality if it does ever get around to been made you’ve got a perfect competition prize in the form of premier tickets 
It will be interesting to see how they choose to film this, since most of the dialogue takes place inside Perry’s head.
It’s awsome to see a guy give away so much great stuff and then get rewarded for it. Ancestor was great.
