‘Zombie Apocalypse’ Coming to a Theatre, Bookshelf & Console Near You
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman and Carlos Gallardo, who produced Robert Rodriguez’s Mexico Trilogy, are executive producing Chee Keong Cheung’s Zombie Apocalypse. UK-based Intense Prods will produce the flick, which will add mixed martial arts to differentiate the film from the traditional zombie tale.The project was developed to kickstart a trilogy, which will also include a graphic novel – published by Eastman’s Heavy Metal Publishing – and a video game.
Mark Strange and Steve Horvath co-wrote zombie pic. Cheung, a British-Chinese writer, director, most recently produced Bodyguard: A New Beginning, which Lionsgate will distribute in North America.
When zombies start to take control of the world they turn into malevolent versions of their former selves with any previous physical combat skills enhanced to almost superhuman level, making eradication near impossible. A squad of eight Special Forces soldiers are assigned a suicide mission to rescue a scientist from a city ruled by the undead.
One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.
With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.
Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…
“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”
If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.
Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.
Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”
Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.
Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
