I’m sure that you’ve never heard that zombie films are often (well at least they were once upon a time) used as social commentary. So it should be no surprise that this one is being described as “The film builds on the real-world history of chemically-induced slavery widely practiced by plantation owners around the Haitian Revolution of 1803. Set against the modern day backdrop of undocumented workers laboring in the Louisiana sugarcane fields, the story is a terrifying look at the systematic exploitation of the labor force by large corporate entities, as well as a portrait of the plight of undocumented workers in the United States.”
There isn’t a lot of details quite yet but we do know that Elijah Wood and his production company SpectreVision will be making the film by director Jorge Michel Grau (‘We Are What We Are’) and writer Brandon Maurice Williams. With the film being shot this Fall we most likely won’t be seeing much in the way of trailer or more details until that time, or most likely next year.
We’ll keep you updated as we find out more!
