[Comic-Con ’13] Hyundai Built A Car To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse! #SDCC
Erin La Rosa at Buzzfeed reports on an insanely cool concept car – a 3-Door Hyundai Veloster: Zombie Killer Edition – that was on the San Diego Comic-Con floor.
A spokesperson at Hyundai had this to say: “The Veloster Turbo is perfect for the zombie apocalypse— a couple of reasons: speed, obviously, being a turbo, lightweight. it’s a 3 door car, so the third door actually gives easy in easy out access for all the weaponry we’ve got on this thing.”
The concept car carries ankle level blades, spikes, and chainsaws, as well as a fully articulated turret that turns in 360 degrees on top of the car. There’s also electrified barbed wire over the windows!
The car isn’t street legal in any form, and it can’t be driven off the floor of SDCC.

Julia Garner Joins Horror Movie ‘Weapons’ from the Director of ‘Barbarian’
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
