Writer/Director Jonathan King’s 2006 wacky zombie comedy Black Sheep is finally getting a sequel, and we’ve got the official title along with a first look image from the upcoming film.
It’s titled Black Sheeps, and it’s set to World Premiere at the Sitges Film Festival in October!
20 years after the original movie, director Jonathan King revisits the world of his New Zealand cult classic with Black Sheeps, a brand new tale of genetically modified animal horror.
The filmmaker isn’t the only one back for this sequel to New Zealand’s most successful horror movie; lead actor Nathan Meister returns to the role of Henry Oldfield.
The upcoming Black Sheeps follows a young scientist who is convinced that a dangerous new pathogen threatens the population and tracks it back to her hometown – which is located in the shadow of the remote sheep station where the macabre events of the original Black Sheep unfolded.
King and Meister will also reunite with Richard Taylor’s award-winning special effects company Wētā Workshop, who provided the gnarly creature effects in the first film.
The movie is produced by King and Grainger, alongside James Partridge and Samantha Braun of Terror-Fi Films, with executive producers Richard Fletcher of Libertine Pictures, Philippa Campbell, Ari Harrison, and Jasmin McSweeney from Umbrella Entertainment.
Watch the trailer for 2006’s original movie below.
