Late last week we shared the very first look at Johnathon Schaech in the Day of the Dead remake, which is currently filming under the direction of The Corpse of Anna Fritz‘s Hèctor Hernández Vicens.
Bloody Disgusting learned exclusively that Schaech is playing the character MAX, a modern take on the hero zombie known as BUB in George A. Romero’s 1985 classic. Bub, who was played by Sherman Howard, was Dr. Logan’s domesticated zombie experiment in the film.
We have yet another closeup shot of Schaech coming face-to-face with Zoe Parker (played by Sophie Skelton)!
Day of the Dead follows a former medical student tormented by a dark figure from her past, who happens to be a half-human, half-zombie hell-bent on destroying her.
The full cast includes Marcus Vanco, Jeff Gum (Exeter, The Vault), Lorina Kamburova (Nightworld, Leatherface Death Race 4), Nick Loeb, Rachel O’Meara, Debbie Sherman, Luke Cousins, Nathan Cooper, and Cristina Serafini.
Campbell Grobman Films produces, coming off of the upcoming Texas Chainsaw Massacreprequel, Leatherface, with Jeff Rice.
