Pro Wrestler Nic Nemeth Channels Kurt Russell and Slays Zombies in Awesome “Wanted Man” Short Film
The professional wrestler formerly known as WWE’s Dolph Ziggler, Nic Nemeth is back and making waves this week after an appearance in New Japan Pro Wrestling, and he’s also starring in a horror short that serves as a unique promo for the next phase of his career.
The 3-minute short is titled “Wanted Man,” and it was directed by genre filmmaker Maggie Levin (Into the Dark: My Valentine, V/H/S/99). Nic Nemeth plays the titular “Wanted Man” in the bloody short, a Kurt Russell/Ash Williams type dealing with the zombie apocalypse.
The short film starts with Nemeth locked up in the back of a police car, and his day gets worse when a Sam Raimi-style Deadite invasion shows up to the party. From there, Nemeth heads into a bar where the fight gets really bloody, ending with one hell of a gory finishing move.
Watch “Wanted Man” below and stay tuned for more from Nic Nemeth in NJPW.
“Wanted Man” is written by Ryan Nemeth & Maggie Levin, and produced by Anna Lore. Nic Nemeth stars alongside Ryan Nemeth, Rio Magelano, and Olivia Castanho.
The real-life canine who portrayed Daryl Dixon’s (Norman Reedus) pet “Dog” on “The Walking Dead,” a Belgian Shepherd whose real name was Seven, has sadly passed away this week.
Variety notes that Seven “appeared in 26 episodes, including the series finale.”
Norman Reedus has shared a handful of behind the scenes photos to his Instagram (@bigbaldhead), paying tribute to the canine companion that he calls the “best TV buddy ever.”
Seven’s stint on “The Walking Dead” began in Season 9, originally the pet of the character Leah Shaw. In the wake of the character’s disappearance, Daryl adopts the dog as his own.
It was Reedus who reportedly pushed for his character to have a canine pal on the show.
You were a very good boy, Seven. May you rest in peace.
