J.J. Abrams is secretive about his projects, but the folks over at Pajiba have an inside source that says Abrams and his Bad Robot production company are developing a movie called 500 Rads, that is said to be in the vein of Cloverfield and 28 Days Later.

Supposedly, the film will have a modest budget of $25 million, and they will shoot the film in Europe, which would help keep the production under wraps. The story is based on an extensive outline by Abrams, and writer Jeff Pinkner has been fleshing out the script for several months. Pinkner is one of Abrams’ frequent collaborators, as he has been a writer and producer on Alias, Lost and Fringe. Pinkner, who must return to his duties on Fringe, has yet to complete the script. So Bad Robot is in talks with a couple more of Abrams’ usual suspects to finish the script.

Obviously since there is no confirmation from anyone (and probably won’t be for quite awhile), I’m calling this 100% Rumor just to stay on the safe side but sounds like a potentially cool project.

Taking a quick spin through google of 500 RADS produced some interesting results, check it out HERE
