Really, what more could you want: Dolph Lundgren leads a “ragtag” group of robots against a horde of zombies in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. If that doesn’t make your ears tingle (as well as other parts of your anatomy), then I don’t know what else I can do for you.
The rest of you will be pleased as bloody punch to learn about BATTLE OF THE DAMNED, which just surfaced on our radar. Not a moment too soon, because this thing sounds like a real winner. Here’s the official synopsis:
On the outskirts of civilization, a remote test facility lays ruin following a catastrophic security breach. All that remains is a handful of survivors, their small armory of weapons, and a fleet of the infected. The breach lead to a viral outbreak that left hundreds dead or mutated. Now the infected walk the land, stalking the few that stayed alive.
Led by private military operative Max Gatling (Dolph Lundgren, “The Expendables,” “Universal Soldier”), our heroes have learned to fight against the infected, in hopes that rescue will soon come from the outside world. What they weren’t expecting, though, was the emergence of another deadly threat.
The breach also gave way to the escape of a band of malfunctioning prototype robots. Armed and incredibly dangerous, the robots could either be an indomitable force… or an unexpected ally in their battle against the infected masses.
This insanity is being directed by Christopher Hatton (ironically enough, the writer-director of ROBOTROPOLIS, which we just told you about); Lundgren is the only castmember attached at the moment, though we can only hope that the mind-bending plot alone will attract an array of top tier names.
