A couple weeks ago I told you how WORST CASE SCENERIO was just about dead but that ARMY OF FRANKENSTEIN was just coming to life, no pun intended. Well at the time all we knew about ARMY OF FRANKENSTEIN came from that groovy promo image above… and by that I mean we knew nothing at all!
Well the guys over at Dutch site Horror.nl dropped us an email giving us a heads up on some ARMY OF FRANKENSTEIN updates. They recently talked to WORST CASE SCENERIO/ARMY OF FRANKENSTEIN director Richard Raaphorst and asked him what’s going on with WORST CASE SCENERIO? Here’s the translated answer we were sent:
“The market for zombie movies is saturated and no distributor is buying them anymore: chances for financing WCS became very small. Also there are two other nazi-zombie flicks out there and as a result of that ours would look like a rip-off… When it became clear last year that WCS was as good as dead I came up with the idea of a WSC-prequel with al really low-budget of half a million Euro. That project almost came to fruitaton, but I can’t use the name Worst Case Scenario due to some rights-issues. The only way to get it on track was a different story and new title: Army of Frankenstein. This is still a working title but I think it covers the story nicely. The visual style will be the same as I will direct AoF! WCS can stay what is is, two kick-ass trailers and a great and promising story that never saw the light of day. Mabye someday we’ll dig it up, but than the Army of Frankstein will e roaming the Earth! This time we don’t want to rush things, we’re talking with a producer and are still writing the script with Miguel Tejada Flores.”
So if you were a fan of those WORST CASE SCENERIO promos this should be great news for you! Hell this sounds like great news for genre fans. There’s still a possiblity of a WORST CASE flick in the future but until then we’ll be treated to it’s prequel: ARMY OF FRANKENSTEIN. Works for me! Go ahead and scope out the newest promo image below and be sure to keep it here for updates.
