Ever since the arrival of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright’s zombie horror comedy ‘Shaun of the Dead’ all those years back it appears most filmmakers seem to think that zombie comedies are a safe bet! It’s certainly a good crossover but man it has to be done right. So I wonder how new British zombie comedy ‘Cockneys vs Zombies’ will fare? Well it’s increasing it’s cast list, which previously included ‘Lead Balloon’s Rasmus Hardiker, Ashley Thomas and Brick Top himself Alan Ford (‘Snatch’), with the likes of veteran Brit actress Honor Blackman (‘Goldfinger’s Pussy Galore), Jack Doolan (‘Cemetery Junction’) and Harry Treadaway (‘City of Ember’). And not to mention ex-Eastender, and all round gorgeous hottie, Michelle Ryan – below (‘Doctor Who’, ‘Bionic Woman’). Matthias Hoene, whose previous genre effort was the straight to video ‘Beyond the Rave’ (the first new Hammer Film production), is helming the project from a script by James Moran (‘Severance’) and ‘Beyond the Rave’ editor Lucas Roche.
“A group of bank robbers who unlock a 350-year old vault only end up unleashing an army of zombies.”
‘Cockneys vs Zombies’ will kick off shooting later this month in London (of course!).
