Looks like this is the movie:

Quarantine
http://imdb.com/title/tt1082868/

Remake of a Spanish movie called [REC].

Synopsis for US remake: Television reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) and her cameraman (Steve Harris) are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Phones, Internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew's videotape

This guy's name is Mike Davidson who says he's a retired cop. He has blog entries back to December 2007. I'm taking a look now and will post more info as I see it.

Leyton Stone

Doesn't have much info on his profile... And it does seem a bit strange b/c I don't recall being able to change the creation date on blogspot...

This is seeming more and more like someone or more than one person "involved" here thinks it's real... If this is the case this is being really well done.

I mean you've got those asshats leaving comments like "You can't act" - Only someone who wasn't acting; couldn't act... Therefore Eric Brody's acting is VERY realistic which makes it awesome!

So his blog is pretty standard, talking about how he's asking for people to send him questions about being a cop, then having a couple of anonymous people posting questions.

The blog starts getting interesting with the February 12th entry, where there is a comment left by Laura McCreedy. She posts:

Here's an article with some more information on this film:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3if8066b9ec8fbe1682811a8219b50285f

It's a re-make of a movie that was released November 23rd in Spain. That was a fast re-make!

The quarantine reason is a deadly strain of rabies. Interesting.

Looks good, I'm in.

As far as somebody 'giving' Eric the video, I think that is a distinct possibility. I also think him being fired for vlogging is complete bs, I think its the same guy who gave him the video. Now that he no longer works for the dept., he is able to spread the video around and also investigate it, and the firing probably prompted his rebellious, 'I WILL upload it' attitude.

I found the youtube comments hilarious...Its Clovie 2... no, no its a remake of REC...no its called Quarantine...Its Zombies!... haha

@NightHawk - the fact that you were trolling for new games while single handedly PM-ing LGlabs (still can't get over how 1 person made each character so unique and real on the fly like that) just adds to your legendary status.
