Frank West Gets Frank in Latest ‘Dead Rising: Watchtower’ Clip
Sony has released another clip from the upcoming live-action adaptation of Capcom’s wacky zombie series, Dead Rising: Watchtower, in which photojournalist Frank West gives some advice to the poor, soon-to-be-dead souls who are trapped in the quarantine zone with the undead. Turn off your televisions and run for your goddamn life is sound advice.
If the last clip is any indication, it doesn’t look like enough folks heeded it.
Written by Tim Carter (Sleeping Dogs), Dead Rising: Watchtower follows a group of survivors who must try and escape from a city that’s been decimated by a zombie apocalypse.
The film stars Rob Riggle (“The Daily Show”) as Frank West, Jesse Metcalfe (John Tucker Must Die), Virginia Madsen (Sideways), Dennis Haysbert (Wreck it Ralph) and Meghan Ory (Vampire High).
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
