Zombie Apocalypse 2012! The film is brain child of Carlos Gallardo and Kevin Eastman which dead fetus crawling from the womb of zombie horror will slither and squirm its way into audiences through both big screen and graphic novel dual media damnation to invade and infest our minds and devour our eyes like a chubby kid attacking a pumpkin filled with Halloween candy. Doesn’t that sound disgustingly yummy. YES- it does! Production is expected to begin later this year and the end result should bleed its way into the horror culture sometimes in 2012- if we are all still here that is. I mean there is 2 apocalypses already scheduled for November 2011 all the way till December 2012.
“Zombie Apocalypse is a unique combination of the action, zombie horror and war genres with the added element of mixed martial arts and will be produced by UK based Intense Productions. The first ever Zombie film to feature mixed martial arts, based on an original screenplay written by Chee Keong Cheung, and lined up as the first in a new trilogy, Zombie Apocalypse will be a multi platform project, which will include graphic novel and merchandise tie ins. Heavy Metal Publishing headed by Kevin Eastman will be the first to exploit the rights with the graphic novel featuring world class Heavy Metal writers and artists to coincide with the film’s intended 2012 release. The production will also team up with Heavy Metal as a promotional and merchandising partner on the picture. A computer game is also envisaged.
In Zombie Apocalypse, when zombies start to take control of the world they turn into malevolent versions of their former selves with any previous physical combat skills enhanced to almost superhuman level, making eradication near impossible. Into this seething hell a squad of eight Special Forces soldiers are assigned a suicide mission to rescue a scientist from a city ruled by the undead.” (The Blood Sprayer)
