The Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse

A daily roundup of all the undead news that shambles into view… Got news tips? E-mail me at cory.casciato[AT]gmail.com.

The march of new zombie movies continues unabated as Condition Dead 3D emerges. The zombie action flick will be directed by Patrick Lussier (director of the recent My Bloody Valentine 3D remake) and produced by Joel Soisson (The Prophecy, Pulse). (Bloody Disgusting)

If Craigslist postings selling props from Zombieland are to be believed (and personally, I believe everything on Craigslist is 100 percent true), Bill Murray is in the upcoming Zombieland. (Bloody Disgusting)

The sequel to the awesome Spanish first-person zombie flick REC (cleverly titled REC 2) will be out October 9, 2009 according to the countdown on the official site. If you are in Spain, this is good news; the rest of us will have to wait until it gets exported to wherever we are. (Horror-Movies.ca)

More zombie comedy in the shape of Zombie Ed. This one is about a loser who becomes a zombie, told from said zombie’s point of view. The poster sucks, the synopsis is poorly written and my faith in this movie is hovering between slim and nonexistent. Yet I will, without a doubt, watch it anyway once it is out. I am sick that way. (Dread Central)

It’s kind of old news (hey, I wasn’t doing a daily news post then…) but word is Nazi-zombie snoozefest Outpost is slated for a sequel. Color me not particularly excited. (Quiet Earth)
