They Couldn't Get the Guy Who Directed That Commercial With That Cute Dog? Too Bad.

Fear Itself 3 is gearing up production with F/X guru and director Robert Kurtzman at the helm, with producers blueothello (The Suicide Hand Guide), RandomFX (Terminal Fear), Marlowe (Tales of Terror and Suspense) and Quantum (The Raven) providing the stories.

Blueothello's segement is currently called "Maintenance" and follows "a group of plumbers who head down into the sewers to fix a broken drain pipe, only to encounter something sinster and deadly." Luke MacFarlane and Christopher Gorham are slated to play two of the plumbers.

RandomFX's segement is tentatively titled "Itch" and is about "Eric, who one night gets an itch on his back. The following morning, he notices that the itch is now a blister. Later that day he notices that it's begun to weep. Soon it starts to grow and continue to itch. The itch then moves, leading to a series of bizarre and bloody events." Chris Hemsworth is slated to play Eric.

Marlowe's segement is being kept under wraps, but it's said to be starring Jesse Eisenberg.

Quantum's segement is currently called "She's Out of My League" and it is about "An office drone who begins to be stalked by a beautiful co-worker who may or may not be real." Scott Wolf is slated to play the said office drone.
