Zombies To Infect The Olympics?
Apparently Severn Screen and Warp Films are coming together to make a film that takes place at the 2012 Olympics, where a zombie outbreak occurs. The film is being shot in September in Whales and while we don’t have a lot of information (they are apparently keeping the script top secret at this time) we do know that Crowther of Severn Screens had the following to say:
Crowther said: “This is the first project in a proposed collaboration between ourselves and critically acclaimed Warp Films. As a newly established company, an alliance such as this gives us greater visibility in the international market, as well as allowing us to expand the talent base we are working with. By backing a project such as this, the Film Agency for Wales are supporting our ambition to work with exciting new talents such as Chris Boyle, whilst remaining in, and working from Wales.”
Film Agency for Wales Chief Executive Pauline Burt added: “This is a great opportunity for Severn Screen to build on their growing partnership with Warp, whose business model has enabled it to become one of the strongest UK production outfits, which in turn should assist Severn Screen in building their own market profile and gain momentum for other productions on their diverse slate. There is additional Welsh benefit with the involvement of post-production house, Dragon DI who also worked on Warp’s Wales-based feature Submarine, as well as crew and the majority of the locations being Wales based. We are delighted to be on board.”
