Doppelgänger Releasing has acquired North American rights from FilmSharks International to the Greek zombie horror EVIL: IN THE TIME OF HEROES, according to Screen Daily.
Bill Schopf from Doppelgänger parent company Music Box Films negotiated the deal at the weekend with Guido Rud of Argentina’s FilmSharks in Buenos Aires. The deal includes all theatrical, VoD, television and home video rights. Doppelgänger Releasing plans to distribute the film towards the end of the year.
The film, originally released in Greece in 2009, is described as a bloodbath in the vein of SHAUN OF THE DEAD and 28 DAYS LATER and features a cameo appearance from genre fave Billy Zane. The synopsis reads…
EVIL was defeated three days ago and everything has changed. An ancient force transformed people to blood-thirsty zombies.That wasn't the first time as 2800 years ago the situation was similar. Will they do the same today? Will they revive THE TIME OF HEROES?
A horror-splatter-comedy-adventure filled with zombies, gore, hilarity and hijinks? Ok, count me in and color me curious. We'll keep you posted as to when you can check out EVIL: IN THE TIME OF HEROES as we hear it.
