Back in July we told you that Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter developed Dead 7, described as “a zombie Western futuristic horror” film.
Dead 7 was produced by The Asylum, the same company behind films like Sharknado and Transmorphers, which means we have some idea of what to expect. Oh, and it stars some interesting people: Nick Carter, A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough (Backstreet Boys), Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick (*NSYNC), Jeff Timmons (98 Degrees), O-Town, and more.
Now, a trailer has been released
The film is described as being about, “…ragtag band of gunslingers operating during a post-apocalyptic zombie plague.”
The tentative name and description led Jon Barkan to ponder if the movie is essentially a retelling of The Seven Samurai, which has been remake into several different films, such as The Magnificent Seven. Those movies were about seven warriors who were hired by a village to protect it from ravaging marauders.
If you’re a Sharknado fan, Dead 7 premieres on Syfy Friday, 4/1 at 8PM ET.
