Zombie News

To answer a question that was posed to me...are there any movies with cowboys and zombies?

Well, there is the indie production The Quick and the Undead. And back in May of last year, there was this announcement at CHUD.com:

Speaking of the Man with No Name and Old West archetypes, Chow will also strap on the six-shooters to play an undead-destroying gunslinger named Rellik in director Andrew Goth’s The Wretched, which will finally satisfy the demand for an entry in the elusive “zombie western” genre. I recently caught Goth’s debut, the cop-horror flick Cold & Dark (I should have a DVD Rack review of it some time soon), but I’ll say that his new flick should look great at the very least. Chow was long attached to a western about a vengeful Chinese rail worker (possibly reuniting him with John Woo), but that seems to have vanished. Personally, I’d rather see him blasting zombies to pieces anyway.

Synopsis:

The name of a young Bounty-Hunter is spreading across the West. That name is Twenty-One. It comes from a left hand that bears six fingers. His deadly reputation comes from his right hand that wields a gun. Twenty-One is bringing his latest quarry to justice when he meets the enigmatic Rellik. It seems the men have two things in common; both are Bounty-Hunters and both are stupendously fast with a gun.

While it's also mentioned here, here, and here, I don't know where it is in regards to its production, if it is at all.

(Thanks Nate).

I was informed of an update regarding Zombie Queen: A Postmodern Post-Apocalyptic Romantic Comedy Horror Film by William Weird:

Respected NEPA-area stage actress Molly McPhearson has left the fledgling independent horror/comedy feature due to an exhaustive work schedule. The role she's vacated is that of the female lead. Filmmakers William Weird and William Berkowitz, however, are currently hard at work at filling her role and are confident that they'll be able to find a replacement soon. The abrupt last-minute departure, unfortunately, will further stall the already vastly pushed back shooting schedule though.

Lots of luck to these folks in filling this role, and hey, if you happen to live near the Nanticoke, Pa area, you might want to audition!

Got seven minutes? Watch this zombie short, Zombies Ate my Neighborhood.

"Zombies in My Neighborhood" is both a dark comedy and a mockumentary about a zombie film production gone bad.

The lead actor is fresh out of prison, the intern has no clue who these people are, the zombie choreographer hasn't worked in 30 years, and the director may soon responsible for the worst movie of all time.

Watch it here!
