Check out the synopsis for this badboy:
THE WRETCHED begins as a classic tale of Master and Apprentice, with slices of black humour reminiscent of “J” and “K” in MEN IN BLACK. But events twist into horror as a wagon train of misguided travelers stumble upon the Monastery and unwittingly release the Undead locked within. When Rellik and Twenty-One return from the boy’s first demonic bounty-hunt, they find themselves facing a jail-break like no other.
An original fusion of gothic western and classic horror, THE WRETCHED is A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS meets DAWN OF THE DEAD.
Now prepared to be excited. It looks like international action star Chow Yun Fat (THE KILLER, HARD BOILED) is set to star as ‘Rellik’, the older but more badass zombie gunslingin’ bounty hunter. Here that? I just ’bout pooped my pants!
In the director’s spot we have Andrew Goth (COLD&DARK), who’s whole idea for this film is as a homage to the age of ‘spaghetti westerns’ that we all know and love.
You can head on over to the Sheer Films home page and check out the killer Official Site which has everything from storyboard sequences, to production art, to a downloadable script of the film. Super sweet stuff here folks!
Doesn’t look like there’s a date yet, but any zombie western starring Chow Yun Fat is pratically guaranteed to be… well, phat! I don’t know if they could have picked a better gun-totting hero than him. Stay tuned as we find more about who else plans on being apart of this epic film in the making.
