So whats the webseries that the director would like to see as a TV show be about? “Acting Dead is a deathly funny dark comedy about the world of Hollywood zombies. And not just the ones leaving their Botox appointments in Beverly Hills. What if your acting career had taken a turn for the worse and your only option to get a role, to be cast in any number of the ever-growing popular zombie-based TV shows and movies was to.. actually become one?
The show takes you into the afterlife of Tate and Alex, both struggling to get by living in their new skin, or what’s left of it. But life doesn’t slow down just because your heart stopped. There are bills to be paid, auditions, dating, personal trainers, part-time jobs, Hollywood agents and meddling friends. Couple all that with keeping their decomposer as they fight the occasional urge for biting, and your everyday zombies are shambling themselves ragged.
Funny, quirky, weird, and surprisingly lighthearted, this series has brains and an appetite for sarcasm and satire. Arrested Development meets Shaun of the Dead, with an occasional shout out to Romero. It’s a fast -paced ridiculous ride that’ll prove to be the time of your afterlife.”
The series was due to begin in April so hopefully we’ll be seeing more soon.
You can follow the series on The Acting Dead Website and The Acting Dead’s Facebook.
