Due out this year, here’s the trailer of the zombedy ‘Zombie Hamlet’ about a director so desperate to make his film that he ends up adding zombies into the mix.

ZOMBIE HAMLET tells the story of first-time film director, Osric Taylor (Travis Wester), as he finally manages to get his dream movie financed, Shakespeare’s HAMLET, set against the epic backdrop of the American Civil War.  Osric heads to a small Louisiana town to start filming when his production funding unexpectedly dries up.  With no other options, he agrees to accept southern matron Hester Beauchamp’s offer to finance his movie, as long as he throws some zombies into the film to attract a wider audience.  When Hester suddenly dies mid-shoot — and with the local sheriff and ambitious news reporter Shine Reynolds (Shelley Long) hot on his trail — Osric is thrust into one precarious and hilarious situation after another in a desperate attempt to keep ZOMBIE HAMLET alive.
