Recently we had a chance to show you the first three preview images from ‘Goal of the Dead‘ and now the first official trailer has arrived. While I’m not a huge fan of soccer (I vaguely remember playing it as a childhood sport) I do have to say a soccer movie with zombies? Now that I can get behind! (Of course just about anything with zombies falls into that category.) As the film has been progressing it has now been acquired by Metrodome (U.K.), Core Media Group (Germany), Korea (Line Tree), Hong Kong (Sundream), Turkey (Bir Film), Belgium (Cineart), as well as the Netherlands and Austria. It was previously acquired by Nikkatsu for Japan. Still no US distribution announcement.
Synopsis:
The two-part film centers around a French Olympic football team who visits a small village in Northern France to play a crucial game in the run-up to the World Cup. But as the Apocalypse looms, an epidemic quickly spreads and transforms the players, spectators and inhabitants into strange and enraged creatures.
