Eagle One Media and iFN have announced a limited theatrical release for the Spanish horror film Zombie Dawn. We've also have details on a free prequel comic, along with the latest trailer release:
"Eagle One Media and iFN are proud to announce the upcoming nationwide theatrical release of the horror action film ZOMBIE DAWN. The feature film roll-out will begin April 20th in select cities with additional locations added over the coming months. In a special arrangement with theaters, cinema ticket buyers shall receive a free limited edition copy of the ZOMBIE DAWN: Safehouse comic book that contains a prequel tie-in story to the feature film.
ZOMBIE DAWN is an action horror Spanish language film that has won praise for its presentation and kudos for the film makers in assembling such a feature while working with only a micro budget. ZOMBIE DAWN recently won awards at the Zixion Sars film festival in Chile for directors Cristian Toledo and Lucio A. Rojas, and art direction. Along with ZOMBIE DAWN, the award winning computer animated horror short Hambuster from Paul Alexandre will be played before the main feature.
The complimentary 24 page comic book was specifically commissioned for the film and created by comic industry veterans David A. Rodriguez and Dheeraj Verma and will be bilingual in English and Spanish."
Synopsis: "In 2006 a mysterious incident at a remote mining facility unleashes a zombie horde with an appetite for human flesh. It decimates large portions of the cities and countryside. The only course of action is to rapidly enclose the infected areas and seal them off from the rest of the remaining, living population. Now, 15 years later the tattered remains of the government and the mining corporation responsible where the initial event took place commit themselves to finding out what may have happened at the mining complex. The solution is to covertly send in a group of mercenaries led by a cynical but no-nonsense Colonel and investigative scientists into the quarantined zone to find answers."
At this time, the list of participating theaters has not been finalized, but we'll provide an update as soon as we receive it. We've included the official trailer below and you can learn more at: http://www.zombiedawnmovie.com/
