If you dug ZOMBIELAND and you can’t wait to get your hands on the next great zom-com, then have I got a treat for you! There’s a new web-series called WOKE UP DEAD that should be right up your alley, starring NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE’s John Heder!
Produced by Sony Pictures, WOKE UP DEAD goes a bit like this: Heder stars as Drex Greene, a regular recent college grad who finds himself undergoing an inexplicable transformation that begins when he wakes up at the bottom of a water-filled bathtub. Drex’s roommate Matt, who has been eagerly filming his demise, informs him that he’s easily (and inhumanly) been underwater for more than a half-hour. As he starts to develop zombie-like tendencies, Drex finds it increasingly difficult to focus on his new job and his love life, so he enlists the help of two friends, Cassie and Matt, to help him uncover the truth about the peculiar changes he is experiencing. In the process, Drex meets his match – an exotic beauty named Aurora – who may hold the answers to Drex’s many questions. Drex must decipher whether he really IS a zombie, like Matt is convinced he is, or whether he’s something entirely different.
Nothing like not knowing whether your a zombie or not. Some days, before coffee, I ask myself the same question. Co-starring Josh Gad, Krysten Ritter, Jean Smart, and Wayne Knight, WOKE UP DEAD is directed by veteran TV director, writer and producer Tim O’Donnell (CLUELESS).
There’s a new episode of the series out now that you can check out below. The title? PILL OF THE DEAD. Check it: On today’s Woke up Dead, the mystery pill man is revealed. Drex takes Matt and Cassie to see the man who gave him the little blue pill. One answer in this undead puzzle only leads to another though. Plus, another strange IM message shows that Drex can be tracked down anywhere.
Very nice, and the perfect little jaunt for a crisp October morning. Or day. Or whenever. Head THIS WAY to check it out, or have a blast with it below, and keep your eye this way for more WOKE UP DEAD goodies as we hear it!
