. “Nerdist Presents: The Hive,” which “Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn calls “The most horrifying love story ever!” taps into the anxiety and emotions of a post-online world to create a parable for the digital age. When Camp Yellow Jacket has fallen into chaos, teen counselor Adam wakes up in a boarded up cabin with no memory of who or where he is. His only clues as to what’s happening are the notes he’s scrawled for himself on the walls and the disturbing physical transformation he must overcome. The only memories he has aren’t his own, yet those memories may be the key to Adam’s survival.
"The Hive is RIDICULOUSLY fun,” said Chris Hardwick, CEO of Nerdist Industries. “Yarvo has managed to tell a horror story in a fantastic new way that is super creepy and intimate, yet ultimately unfolds into a much larger movie. I'm so excited that we could help bring to the world! I just want people to be able to see it ASAP.”
“Nerdist has created something truly innovative with this production,” Fathom Events CEO John Rubey said. “We are pleased to be a part of bringing Nerdist Industries’ first feature to the nation on the big screen.”
“We’re excited to partner with Fathom Events to share this unique project with the world,” said Adam Rymer, president of Nerdist Industries and Legendary Digital Networks. “‘The Hive’ is sure to captivate audiences in an exhilarating and terrifying way.”
