YES!!! Oh glorious day! Any morning that I get to wake up and find out that there is ANOTHER video game getting made into a movie is a day worth waking up to! Joy! Did you buy any of that? No? Yeah me neither. But the part of that fake rant of bliss that is actually true is the fact that yet another video game is getting the big screen treatment. This time, it’s Dead Rising.
To be fair, the game looks like a hell of a lot of fun. It’s a zombie game (oh joy, not only is it a video game movie… but it’s yet another zombie movie. Originality abounds) that looks to have a ton of environment interactivity. You can check out a 3 minute game play trailer here). The good folks over at MoviesOnine give us this:
Dead Rising follows the harrowing tale of Frank West, an overly zealous freelance photojournalist on a hunt for the scoopof a lifetime. In pursuit of a juicy lead, he makes his way to a small suburban town only to find that it has become overrun by zombies. He escapes to the local shopping mall, thinking it will be a bastion of safety but it turns out to be anything but. It will be a true struggle to survive the endless stream of enemies, but players will have full reign of a realistic shopping center, utilizing anything they find to fight off the flesh-hungry mob and search for the truth behind the horrendous epidemic.
Yup… it’s a zombie movie. OH oh oh oh… let me guess. I betcha in the movie the only way to kill a zombie is to smash or cut off its head. Think I’m right? Oh I can’t wait to find out. Oh, and I bet if they bite you, then you turn into a zombie too! Wow… my predictions are just flying!
