Laura Vandervoort is set to star in Rabid, a remake of David Cronenberg’s 1977 classic about a deformed accident victim who undergoes an experimental stem-cell treatment to make her hot again and suffers horrific and deadly side affects.

The Rabid Remake is helmed by Jen and Sylvia Soska (American Mary, See No Evil 2) from a script they wrote with John Serge (Dead On Campus).

Vandervoort is coming off a starring role in Jigsaw, a reboot of Lionsgate’s Saw franchise. Best known on the small screen for her role as Kara Zor-El (aka: Supergirl) on hit series “Smallville,” she’s also starred as a werewolf on “Bitten” and as a hot alien visitor on ABC’s “V” remake.
