Worst case scenario?

Last Updated on July 28, 2021

Quite awhile back we keyed you into a teaser trailer for zombie flick WORST CASE SCENARIO. It was artistic, tightly shot and flat out awesome. Unfortunately the production has continued to live up to its title throughout the development process.

We got a link to the new CGI-promo they put together, and it’s pretty damn cool. But before we get to that, here’s a bit of what these folks have been through so far:

Last autumn things were looking up for the movie. Our American partners had attached British sales agent IAC/Sequence and looked set to sell WORST CASE SCENARIO at the November American Film Market. The financial structure was complicated as Hell and WCS was set up as a Dutch/UK/Belgium coproduction. Due to a British formality, we’d have to start shooting before April 2006, so the pressure was definitely on. But as we’ve experienced too often already, our optimism was slowly squashed. As time crept by and the November deadline loomed larger and larger, draft agreements came and went, but nothing was signed. It became clear that we would not be able to sell WCS at the AFM, let alone start preproduction in time to meet the April shooting date.

We had to face the fact: this was a dead end. The AMF more or less coincided with the expiration of our contract with the American producers, so we decided to start looking for another way to get WCS off the ground.
We are now trying to get WCS financed in Holland – bringing it home, as it were. We’ll have to bring the budget down, but we’re pretty confident that regardless we can still get our dark, shocking, apocalyptic vision to the screen. We plan to have the cameras rolling later this year.

So before you decide to pursue those big screen dreams, ask yourself, are you willing to put up with all that shite? I certainly respect the hell out of those who are. Now click on that pic above to check out the clip!
