Fans of Shaun of the Dead won’t want to miss this new trailer for Matthias Hoene’s zombie comedy, Cockneys vs. Zombies. The film is set to have its world premier this August at Film4Frightfest and is written by James Moran who is behind the extremely underrated horror comedy Severance. Hoene looks to have struck gold with his upcoming feature film which is a mix between Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Shaun of the Dead.
Cockneys vs. Zombies is the story of Andy (Harry Treadaway) and Terry (Rasmus Hardiker): two hapless cockney brothers who try to save their grandad’s (Alan Ford) care home by robbing a bank. At the same time a virus sweeps across East London, turning all the inhabitants into flesh-eating zombies. Faced with hordes of undead zombies, the challenge is to rescue a home full of tough old folks, escape with the loot, and get out of London alive!
Check out the trailer below.
Hahaha, that looks pretty funny actually. Special effects look to be pretty impressive, too.
This was me, didn’t realize I wasn’t logged in.
Haha! It has a B-movie style with a really high production value. The old man with the walker was absolutely hilarious.
This actually looks funnier than Shaun of the Dead.
It certainly has the potential to dethrone Shaun of the Dead!
Any word on a release date?
Its releasing on the 31st of this month in the UK. Currently I don’t think there is any US distribution. Maybe VOD at some point?
