I guess the reason why this was not yet announced to english community is because all news were tied strictly to events that only people who live in Moscow are capable to attend. So it would be pointless to spread it across the globe. Anyway, I did a rough translation of updates from IPL's official VK group to sate your curiosity. But it really not much, so don't feel left out - all the actual news are usually announced properly.
Update 1 (26. 11. 13)
Code:
Friends.
We are starting to reanimate Pathologic.
It will be very difficult to create this game. The scale of the task that lies before us is far bigger than amount of resources available. So we will seek out your help at any opportunity presented.
First task that we have to complete is to prepare for Kickstarter campaign.
We will need to film several videos for introduction.
- 1 -
For the first one we will need to film a short scene: big hall (out of use machinery room), people will lie on the floor in rows, covered with sheets. We need around 40-50 people for this. Each one will need have to bring a white sheet (without any patterns on it), better if it has been in use, tears are allowed to have. Don't pick your best clothes: you will need to lay down for around 10 min on dirty floor, no mattresses will be provided.
Location: Moscow, Tverskaya Street, 7 (Central Telegraph Building). We will announce time later: event will probably occur on this weekend, but schedule is flexible. Please, anyone who wants to help us, check out in this tread's comments about the time when you will be able to join in. If we wont find 20 people we will cancel the shooting.

For second video we need to chose several most prominent fan works: including art, cosplay and fan-video. This fanart (only the most impressive examples of it!) needs to be gathered in one place (this album http://vk.com/album-33165854_183058885) and in good quality. A lot of things that we have seen on net are not uploaded to this group and many of those that are here are presented in awful quality.
Nikita, maybe you have some ideas how to organize all this?

Beside that we need people who speak English fluently and who are ready to tell about the game on camera: it will be better if we could gather at least ten people, the more the merrier. Such people we ask not to write in comments, but send emails straight to Nikolai on nord@ice-pick.com
We are counting on you!
Update 2 (27. 11. 13)
Code:
And so, friends, people who are ready to help out in shooting - we are welcome you to join us in this event: please, join this special event group only if you have serious intent to go, we will not count joined people as "potential" participants: https://vk.com/ice_pick_teaser_1
Update 3 (27. 11. 13)
Code:
Dear friends! Attention please! If someone checked out in comments to these treads that he will join up but did not send his name to nord@ice-pick.com - he will not be able to pass into the building! Just like a Barlog, it is.
Please, don't check out in comments to this tread, instead joint the event group from previous update post: all details of shooting on this Saturday are discussed there!
We will repost link here, just in case: https://vk.com/ice_pick_teaser_1
TL;DR: IPL started Pathologic remake and on this Saturday, November 30th they will be shooting live action promo for Kickstarter campaign.
