Upcoming Film ‘Zombiesaurus’ Appeals to Bad Movie Lovers
There is only one thing worse than zombies on the loose: Z-REX.
Whether they’re intentionally or accidentally made poorly, I’ve always said that bad movies have their own little place in the world. Granted, I would 9 times out of 10 prefer to watch a good horror movie over a bad one, but there are those times when I just want to call up a friend, kick back with a couple beers, and spend 90-minutes with the kind of movie made for being made fun of.
Zombiesaurus, well, I can be pretty damn sure it’s one of those movies. Formerly titled Z/Rex: The Jurassic Undead, the schlocky B-movie is headed to UK DVD on June 26th, with a Stateside date not yet announced. If you’re into this sort of thing, you’ll find the trailer below.
In Zombiesaurus…
A cracked scientist aligns with the Axis of Evil to bring down the US of A with EMP blasts, toxic zombification gas and an unleashing of the ultimate undead killing monstrosity — the Z-REX. When a hot-wired militia squad and a crew of college hipsters are thrown together to do something about it, chaotic Predator-Thunder action runs amok.
Milko Davis and Thomas Martwick directed the film from a script penned with Michele Pacitto. Ben Johnson, Adam Singer, Raquel Pennington and Ruselis Aumeen Perry star.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
