Fango got the news that actor/musician Tyrese Gibson, whose credits include WAIST DEEP, 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS and the upcoming TRANSFORMERS movie, will turn producer for a new zombie movie called CONDITION DEAD, described as an undead version of ALIENS.
Scripted by newcomer Dave Davis, it’s about a government-backed team of ghoul hunters who run afoul of a particularly nasty new breed of flesheaters, and will be directed by Patrick Lussier, whose credits include DRACULA 2000, its direct-to-video sequels and the upcoming WHITE NOISE: THE LIGHT. Joining Gibson on the producing side are Clint Morris and Rock Shaink, director of the upcoming THE HIDDEN remake THE SEED, who says, “Being a big fan of [zombie films], I’m extremely excited to have found a project that brings something new to the world, and that gives us one hell of a great ride doing so.” Casting is about to begin for CONDITION DEAD, which will roll later this year.
