Official Trailer- A Cure For Dead – Surviving The Zombie Apocalypse (Web Series)
“A Cure for Dead” looks like a new web series coming out. Looks like they have something of a budget and the production values don’t look half bad. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one.
A tweet on their site revealed that the first episode is in post production so hopefully we don’t have too long to wait.
You can check out their site here for more news.
Here’s some details about what this is all about.
It’s True Blood meets Zombieland. A sexy, fun and exciting show.
Synopsis: A scientist has developed a cure for a looming zombie sickness. After a zombie attack on his lab a single vial is all that remains of the cure. Now he has to get the last vial to a fortified research laboratory hundreds of miles away so it can be mass produced. Unable to survive the trip alone he enlists the help of three other survivors in an attempt to save what’s left of humanity.
Why are the survivors always in their early twenties. Old people can fight zombies too you know! I’m thirty-six and I’m not going down without taking a bunch of them with me.
That guys a quack, it’s a vial of boomer bile.
Prime demographic groups don’t want to watch guys our age on screen. We look like their dads.
That makes me sad as I ain’t getting any younger. I’m working with this kid who’s sixteen… I’m horrified to realize that I’m old enough to be his father.
This is madness. I want to stay twenty-one forever.
30-somethings aren’t interesting; in zombie stories, everyone needs to be in their 20’s, their 40’s or their 60’s (the wise old fart with the squirrel rifle), with the necessary burdens of people in their 80’s in wheelchairs/hospital beds, kids under 12, and teenaged nerds who don’t have enough upper body strength to be able to lift an axe, let alone swing one effectively in battle.
It’s all a formula, you see.
So I’ve got four years to go before I can be the “Wise Old Fart with the squirrel riffle” Bummer.
Sadly according to the formula I will not survive till the end of the movie. That’s always reserved for the two prettiest people. That’s why its my standing rule that if I ever find myself in a horror movie I’m going to quietly kill off anyone better looking than I am. It’s self defense at that point.
First episode is out. Take a look. Who likes movies that completely follow a formula anyway.
Cool! I’ll check it out. I’m a big fan of anyone trying to do something different with the zombie genre.
