Jason Constantine of Lionsgate’s said: "We’re thrilled to have another Leigh Whannell project back at Lionsgate to build on our 10-year history together during which we released seven films in the Saw franchise that he co-created. Leigh and Ian, along with all the filmmakers and cast of Cooties, have created a project that we found ourselves laughing out loud throughout, and we cannot wait to share it with moviegoers!"
"I couldn’t be more excited that Cooties has found a home with Lionsgate, a decade after they beautifully handled the release of Saw," said Leigh Whannell. "I’m thrilled to be working with them again and can’t wait to introduce Cooties to the world with their help." Ian Brennan added, "Glee and SAW just had a baby! And its name is Cooties."
Producer/star Elijah Wood said: "Even before we set forth on the production of Cooties, we’ve always seen the ideal home for this film to be at Lionsgate. We could not be more thrilled!"
