“Zombie Town,” a family-friendly, action-packed adventure based on acclaimed author R.L. Stine’s book of the same name, is now in production in Ontario, Canada. Blending teen romance, humor, and mystery while providing a new twist on traditional zombie movies.
The film stars stars legendary Oscar-nominated actor/comedian Dan Aykroyd (“Ghostbusters”), Henry Czerny (“Mission Impossible”), and comedic legend Chevy Chase (“Vacation”).
Rounding out the cast is rising star Marlon Kazadi (“Supergirl”), who was recognized as Best Young Actor at the 2020 New York International Film Awards. Joining Marlon as co-teen lead is social media phenom Madi Monroe (“Around the World in 80 Days”). Also joining the cast are Scott Thompson and Bruce McCulloch from the seminal Canadian comedy show “Kids in the Hall.”
In Stine’s “Zombie Town,” two teens go to see a horror movie called “Zombie Town,” but this fantastical film turns into more than they expected when the zombies from the film come down off the screen and take over their town. Now it’s up to the two of them to save the day before bands of zombies turn every last citizen into a ravenous flesh-eater.
John Gillespie, Trimuse Entertainment Founder, and Executive Producer, noted, “We are delighted to bring the pages of R.L. Stine’s Zombie Town to the screen and equally thrilled to be working with such an exceptional cast and crew on this production. A three-time Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award winner with book sales of over $500 million, R.L. Stine has a phenomenal track record of crafting stories that engage and entertain audiences.”
“Zombie Town” is being directed by renowned Canadian animator Peter Lepeniotis (“Nut Job”) and will premiere in U.S. theaters this December. It will stream on various services early next year, including Hulu in the U.S.
Executive Producers are Trimuse Entertainment, Toonz Media Group, Lookout Entertainment, Viva Pictures, and Kim Coates (“Sons of Anarchy”).
