Evil Dead (1981)
This is an upcoming UK zombie flick by Shaun Robert Smith that is supposed to begin shooting in Spring 2010.
The movie is based on Smith’s short film The Soldier and is supposed to be in 3D. It looks pretty promising and we definitely could use another Nazi zombie movie. Not to mention it looks like there is going to be a cameo of Tom Savini, which is nice.
I Walked With a Zombie (1943)
This classic voodoo style zombie produced by Val Lewton was one of the greats, right up there with the likes of Cat People and The Body Snatcher.
Though there isn’t a whole lot of action and cheap thrills, the movie does have a nice story and provides an almost eerily quite atmosphere. If I had to pick between this and White Zombie, I take this any day.
There’s been a lot of speculation about JJ Abrams next project called 500 Rads, which a lot of bloggers are guessing will be some kind of post-apocalyptic zombie film, but really it’s all very hush hush, top secret and no one knows for sure.
I hope it’s either a cool zombish type film or even better, a sequal to the 1986 BMX movie - Rad :P
Grove’s Chill Tonic 1890. It’s not zombie related, I don’t think, but it’s probably one of the creepiest vintage ads I’ve seen. o_O
The Light of Daigh Trailer - new indie zombie trailer by Ritual Pictures.
The full movie hasn’t actually been completed yet as the production company is still seeking funding. However, from the trailer it looks decent so far and the plot seems somewhat similar to 28 Days Later.
It doesn’t look official yet, but the rumors of a spin-off tv series of Romero’s Dawn of the Dead have been flying around the blogoshpere all day. According to the article, it will feature both fast and slow zombies… hmmm interesting.
I’ll work on trying to get more details for you guys, hopefully this thing happens.
