Dolph Lundgren Vs. Zombies In Anchor Bay’s ‘Battle of the Damned’!

Published

on

Anchor Bay Films has acquired U.S., Australia and New Zealand rights to the sci-fi action film Battle of the Damned from Bleiberg Entertainment’s Compound B.

The Expendables’ Dolph Lundgren stars with David Field (The Rover), Matt Doran and newcomer Melanie Zanetti. Says Anchor Bay, “There truly is no other film like this on the market, it’s got zombies and robots and spectacle. The visual effects are fantastic and this is one of the best roles Dolph has ever had.”

In the near future on the outskirts of civilization a remote test facility lays in ruin following a catastrophic security breach. All that remains is a handful of survivors, their small armory of weapons and a fleet of the infected. The breach led to a viral outbreak that left thousands dead or mutated. Now the infected walk the land, stalking the few that still live. Led by private military operative Max Gatling (Lundgren), they fight the infected and soon learn there are band of malfunctioning prototype robots also on the march and they are armed and incredibly dangerous.

Christopher Hatton directed from his own script, and also produced with Ehud Bleiberg and Leon Tong.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
