The first few images for the upcoming Zombie film Fido have surfaced. Not sure about what Fido is? Here’s a synopsis from the folks at Movieweb:
Years ago, the earth passed through a cloud of space dust, causing the dead to rise with a craving for human flesh. A war began, pitting the living against the dead. In the ensuing revolution, a corporation was born: ZomCon, who defeated the legions of undead, and domesticated the zombies, making them our industrial workers, our domestic servants – a productive part of society. ZomCon would like the people of Willard to believe they have everything under control… but do they?
Timmy Robinson doesn’t think so. At eleven, Timmy already knows the world is phony baloney – Mom and Dad just won’t admit it. Now ZomCon’s head of security has moved in across the street, and Timmy’s Mom refuses to be the only housewife on the block who doesn’t have a zombie of her own. When she brings a zombie servant home, Timmy discovers a new best friend, and names him Fido. And even though Dad has a bad case of zombie-phobia, Timmy is determined to keep Fido, even if he does eat the odd person.
Now, I’ve said before that I’m getting a little bored of Zombie movies… but at least this one feels like a fresh take on the genre (much like Shaun of the Dead was). It also has a killer cast (I think Billy Connolly as Fido will be amazing).
