New poster for Cooties starring Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson and Leigh Whannell

Last Updated on September 22, 2021

The horror-comedy COOTIES, from the creators of Glee and Saw, is about to screen at the Stanley Film Festival, and in preparation for that a new poster for the film has been coughed up. Check it out in full below.

COOTIES stars Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill, Jack McBrayer, Leigh Whannell, Nasim Pedrad, Ian Brennan and Jorgé Garcia. The film is directed by Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion from a screenplay by Whannell and Brennan.

When a cafeteria food virus turns elementary school children into killer zombies, a group of misfit teachers must band together to escape the playground carnage. The film stars Elijah Wood (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings), Rainn Wilson (“The Office”), and Alison Pill (“The Newsroom”) as teachers who fight to survive the mayhem while hilariously bickering in an uncomfortable love triangle on the worst Monday of their lives.

COOTIES will be one of the debut releases of the newly-launched Lionsgate Premiere label, which will release the film on September 18th in select theaters and on demand. The film has a different ending than the one that originally screened at Sundance last year.
