When you can have zombies?
It appears that Flight of the Dead (a film which I always thought should be called Flight of the Living Dead) is now called Plane Dead. And that's a pretty awful title, as far as I'm concerned. I do wonder how well this is going to go down after Snakes on a Plane has made an appearance – surely that will steal most of Plane Dead's in-flight thunder? Maybe they should rename Plane Dead to Zombies on a Plane? I still want to see it, despite the crappy name. Although I suspect I might have to pick the DVD up as that's probably where this one's headed first.
Fango have also posted a nice piece on some upcoming zombie movies, which I'll summarise here for your reading pleasure:
- Day of the Dead Remake – Steve Miner is directing and Jeffrey Reddick is writing. Reddick wrote the decent looking horror film Tamara. Apparently, the zombie outbreak is the result of bioterrorists.
- Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things – Bob Clark remakes his own film, which should ensure a certain level of quality.
- Zombies – The reanimated corpses of children return. So Children of the Living Dead then, which is apparently awful.
- Zombie Town – Just as it sounds, I guess. Parasites are to blame this time.
- Zombie Island – Norman Reedus and Terence Stamp star in a reality TV take on the zombie outbreak. Apparently the plot here is humans vs zombies on an isolated island as tv entertainment.
- Raiders of the damned – Commandos enter zombie quarantine zone to rescue scientist.
- Oh! My Zombie Mermaid – Japanese, as if you needed telling with that title. Apparently, a legendary wrestler fights zombies in a castle. Could this be the best film ever? I doubt it…
