Former WWE superstars CM Punk and AJ Lee will appear in upcoming horror movie Rabid, according to horror website Bloody-Disgusting.com.

The film is a remake of the 1977 film of the same name, where a woman is able to turn people into zombies, after they are pierced by a stinger in her armpit. 

The remake will be directed by former WWE studios directors the Soska sisters, who produced See No Evil 2 and Vendetta whilst part of the WWE. 

Punk will play 'Billy', whilst his wife AJ will play 'Kira'. 

Laura Vandervoort (Smallville, V) will lead alongside Ben Hollingsworth (Code Black).
