I’ve been a huge fan of Dennis Haysbert ever since his role as President David Palmer on ’24’. From his voice, his stature, and everything inbetween so I’m stoked to be able to announce that he has been cast as one of the leads in Legendary Digital and Crackle’s upcoming take on a film version of Capcom’s ‘Dead Rising’!
Sony’s Crackle will give “Dead Rising†an exclusive digital release in the U.S. before the film receives a multi-platform release on SVOD, VOD, DVD and TV, while Content Media Corp. (“Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawnâ€) will distribute both feature-length and episodic formats on international platforms. Sadly there is no news of a theatrical release but I think I can live with that.
Will the film end up good? It’s far too early to tell as we don’t even have plot details yet on which aspect of the ‘Dead Rising’ world that they plan to focus on but with Haysbert on board I’m curious to see what we hear next!
