Just last week I told you that Lightning Entertainment had picked up the international sales rights to THE REVENANT. They’ll be representing the film at Cannes beginning this week. While we wait for a new trailer to pop up, the sales art has surfaced. Check it out below.
The zombie horror/comedy received positive feedback from its festival run and has been awaiting release since 2009. The film is written and directed by D. Kerry Prior (special effects on A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3, THE LOST BOYS). It stars David Anders and Chris Wylde.
The film tells the story of a soldier (Anders) who is killed in Iraq and then finds himself resurrected as a “revenant,” or one who has returned from the dead. He turns to his slacker best friend (Wylde) to help him manage his newfound thirst for blood, and the duo quickly realize that this zombie-fied state is a perfect opportunity to become vigilante crime fighters. Their adventure quickly becomes more complicated and bloody than they expected, however.
