Shout! Factory have finally made use of their North American distribution rights for that of Matthias Hoene’s British comedy horror flick ‘Cockneys vs Zombies’. The amusing little zomedy is set to hit a select number of theatres across the US from 2 August, almost a year after it originally arrived in UK cinemas last Summer. The flick revolves around two cockney brothers who bring together a group of criminals in order to carry out a bank robbery for money to help save their Grandad’s retirement home. Only an ancient virus has been unleashed making the task all the more hilarious. ‘Cockneys vs Zombies’ stars Rasmus Hardiker (‘You Highness’), Harry Treadaway (‘City of Ember’), Ashley Thomas, Jack Doolan (‘Cemetery Junction’), Honor Blackman (‘Goldfinger’), Alan Ford (‘Snatch’), Richard Briers (‘The Good Life’), Dudley Sutton (‘The Football Factory’) and hottie Michelle Ryan -below (‘Bionic Woman’).

“Cockneys vs Zombies is the story of Andy (Harry Treadaway) and Terry (Rasmus Hardiker): two hapless cockney brothers who try to save their grandad’s (Alan Ford) care home by robbing a bank. At the same time, a virus sweeps across East London turning all the inhabitants into flesh eating zombies. Faced with hordes of undead zombies, the challenge is to rescue a home full of tough old folks, escape with the loot, and get out of London alive!”
