With the final scenes now shot, “Zombie Plane” will hit screens later this year, with release dates to be announced shortly. U.S. distribution will be headed up by Entertainment Squad, with its Australian theatrical release through Radioactive Pictures.
With strong musical themes, the film’s soundtrack includes tracks produced by Vanilla Ice, Ice-T and many other members of the key cast, who are also musicians.
“I am excited to see this high-octane thrill ride of laughs and action come to life, and I know the audience will be just as excited.” said producer Jess Butland of Radioactive Pictures.
This film marks the first collaboration between Australia’s Radioactive Pictures and U.S.-based Entertainment Squad which was founded by veteran producer Shaked Berenson (“Slaxx,” “Big Ass Spider!,” “Turbo Kid,” “The Man Who Killed Hitler,” “Then the Bigfoot”).
“As a genre, horror has always been a powerful way to blend social commentary with outrageous entertainment,” Berenson said. “’Zombie Plane’ carries that torch with its absurd premise and sharp satire. We embrace the weird, the wild, and the unexpected!”
