Sometimes I love living in Chicago. This just happens to be one of them as we’re apparently creating an online series with zombies that Michael Rooker is going to be a part of. By we, I literally mean we as the Illinois Department of Transportation is making this short series of all places so it wouldn’t surprise me if some of our tax money was going towards this. Money well spent if you ask me! Though, you couldn’t have asked a certain resident zombie fanatic to be a part of it? Pfft! 😉
“The Driving Dead,†a new Web series starring actor Michael Rooker, announces it will debut with an extended-length pilot episode on August 25, 2014. Rooker fans will be able to view the pilot and subsequent installments online, exclusively at www.TheDrivingDeadSeries.com.
