Finally a truly cool looking zombie film

[Guest El Satanico]

It's called Worst Case Scenario and is being produced by a film company in the Netherlands.

 

There's also a cool promotional video for it, so click here for the rest of the story and a link to the promotional video.

Looks good to me.

Plot?

Here's a quick recap of the overall plot, from the official site. It doesn't reveal a whole lot.

 

The original screenplay of the horrormovie centers on the friction between neighboring countries. It's a global phenomenon, and even in peaceful Western Europe you will find old grudges. If you dig deep enough.

 

In the final of the World Championship Soccer Games Holland and Germany are going to war. A group of friends tries to get away from the nationwide frenzy, but traveling to a North Sea island they wind up in situations far, far worse.

That's the site for the movie.

Indeed sounds awesome.

It almost looks like the zombies are the dead risen from WWII or something. Which I think would be sweet-ass, if really fucking disturbing.

 

That's just a guess based on the preview, though.

It almost looks like the zombies are the dead risen from WWII or something.

Yeah that's also what I'm figuring. Both from the description and from the nazi looking gear the zombies are wearing.

 

It reminded me of the zombie movie Shock Waves.

side thought: Why aren't there any zombie movies where the heros hold up in a school?

there's another Zombie movie coming out which looks pretty good and funny, "Shaun of the Dead"

 

here's some info:

 

 

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this before. Simon Pegg, of the UK comedy series Spaced, is currently working on a zombie spoof called Shaun Of The Dead. He will play the titular Shaun who will have to face off against an army of the undead in a movie that will be part spoof/part homage to the zombie genre. Here's what i've managed to find out by scouring the net.

 

THE ZOMBIE MOVIE: SHAUN OF THE DEAD

Spaced's Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright are the masterminds behind the latest FilmFour production. Conceived as early as late 1999/early 2002, and announced at the Cannes Festival in May 2002, the film is written by Simon and directed by Edgar. It is, according to FilmFour, "a naturalistic character comedy about our zombified couch potato culture, into which crashes a real zombie action movie" - or, as Edgar puts it: "It's Richard Curtis shot through the head by George Romero." According to Simon: "[it] will probably feature a few of Spaced faces... Resident Evil are main competition in the Zombie business. Our film will be better. It has to be damn it!!" He adds: "The film will be similar in tone to Spaced, although there will be no referencing other moments in popular culture. Having said that the whole film is one big reference to the movies of George Romero so I'm lying. Edgar is responsible for all the whooshing and the whipping that goes on in Spaced. He may or may not bring some of that to 'Shaun of the Dead'."

The project is being developed by Michael Winterbottom's Revolution Films, and despite recent upheavals at FilmFour, Simon says it is going "well". The collapse "put a slight wrinkle in our plans, " he adds, "putting everything back a month or two but we're back on track." Production should begin early 2003. In October 2002 he described the projects as "On the Horizon", which is good news.

 

The above article is quite old and the movie hit a few stumbling block but filming has now begun and a 2004 release is looking very likely. Anyone who has seen the UK comedy show Spaced should be excited about this. Spaced was littered with references and mini-homages to genre movies many of which were very funny indeed.

 

The trailer is in this site, go to the Archive section and look for "Shaun of the Dead"

Shaun of The Dead was brought up about a month ago. It's a spoof, so I'd have to take some points off for that, but it does look good.

and I just had the idea of a Zombie movie that would use "Alive" (POD) during one part of it.

 

Just imagine it.
