Nineties boy band lovers the world over rejoice! Some of your old favourites are coming back together to fight off a horde of flesh eating ghouls in a brand new film, and you thought the Boyzlife news was exciting.
The film, Dead7, is a zombie movie written and starring Nick Carter, best known as a member of the Backstreet Boys, and tells the story of a group of ex-boy band members who team up to fight off a zombie menace in the post-apocalyptic west.
The AsylumJoining Nick are fellow Backstreet Boys, A.J. McLean and Howie Dorough, ‘N Sync’s own Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick, 98 Degrees legend Jeff Timmons, and O-Town’s Erik-Michael Estrada, Jacob Underwood, Trevor Penick, and Dan Miller. Shockingly Justin Timberlake appears to have declined an appearance.
I’m not going to lie, the trailer looks like the usual hot mess we’ve come to expect from from the SyFy Channels original movies. And I’m not sure if it’s the 90s music reminding me of my youth but the film has a distinct Power Rangers feel about it. So obviously I’m super excited to see it.
The AsylumIt’s pretty obvious that the film makers were going for a ‘so good it’s bad’ vibe which is unsurprising since the film’s produced by The Asylum, the studio that brought us such gems as Transmorphers, Titanic 2 and of course their biggest franchise The Sharknado films.
Dead7 premiers in the U.S. on Aril 1 which makes me wonder if this could all be an elaborate prank…
More of a concept than a journalist, Tom Percival was forged in the bowels of Salford University from which he emerged grasping a Masters in journalism.
Since then his rise has been described by himself as ‘meteoric’ rising to the esteemed rank of Social Editor at UNILAD as well as working at the BBC, Manchester Evening News, and ITV.
He credits his success to three core techniques, name repetition, personality mirroring, and never breaking off a handshake.
