PROJECT DETAILS
  • Filmed in Vancouver, Canada.
  • Rob Riggle will join the cast as "Frank West, a weathered photo-journalist skilled in surviving Zombie attacks."
  • Harley Morenstein will play "Pyro, a menacing biker and Logan’s (Aleks Paunovic) second-in-command."
  • Aleks Paunovic portrays "Logan, a hard criminal and the head of a biker gang."
  • Keegan Connor Tracey will take on the role of "Jordan, a straight-laced journalist."
  • Directed by Zach Lipovsky (Leprechaun: Origins).
  • One of the producers was quoted saying: "Dead Rising has a built-in fan base and rich characters and plotlines that are ideal for digital storytelling and on target for Legendary’s brand. Crackle and Content are adept at distributing cutting-edge digital content and we look forward to delivering a highly engaging and cool series for a global audience."
  • Apparently the streaming service/site Crackle will be first to release the film then sometime after it will get the standard on-demand and DVD release.
  • The film will reportedly be released in both full length and episodic formats, much like they did with the recent Mortal Kombat adaptation.
  • Produced by Contradiction Films (Mortal Kombat: Legacy).
  • Based on the hit video game with the same name.
