Indie producer Kevin Woods gave us a heads up on his next project today, and I think it’s one to keep an eye… especially if you’re looking for a new ‘twist’ in the zombie genre. It’s called DEAD MONEY, and it involves hitmen, drug dealers, and zombies… oh my!
Directed by DeMar Richardson, DEAD MONEY goes a little something like this: A group of thieves rip off a drug dealer, stealing a quarter of a million dollars and 4 kilos of cocaine. They rendezvous with another drug kingpin, Castillo, in an isolated meeting spot out in the country to sell the drugs unaware that they have a team of highly skilled professional hitmen hot on their trail. With no contact with the outside world – no cell phone reception, no television – things take a turn for the worse when the thieves, the drug dealers, and the assassins have to team up to stay alive and fight off an onslaught of the living dead. As the zombies pick off the eclectic group of undesirables, the remaining living gangsters hole up inside an old home, trying to survive this zombie Armageddon all the while trying to be the last man standing with the money.
DEAD MONEY is being escribed as a mix between FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, DAWN OF THE DEAD, SMOKIN’ ACES, and VERSUS, wrapped into one tasty morsel. Hell, if they can pull of just a fraction of each of those flicks I’d be happier than a pig in shit!
Filming hasn’t begun yet, and casting has just gone under way (landing Lem Collins and James Furey) with more casting to follow. For more information on this flick, check out the South Carolina Film Group’s OFFICIAL MYSPACE PAGE and get ready for DEAD MONEY, which begins filming sometime early next year.
