Director Craig Singer dropped us a line to let us know about his new video entitled Shit Zombies Say, which isn't quite a short film... more like part of a bigger event. Read on for the details (scarce though they might be) and to see it for yourself.
While it’s not Alan Smithee this time, Singer has taken the pseudonym “Jonah” for this project, which is a reference to the masked villain in his 2006 horror-thriller Dark Ride.
What we have here is a comedic look at the Hollywood undead featuring what looks to be a zombie Howard Stern portrayed by Ron Brawer — certainly an old-school zombie who doesn’t “work fast” and prefers to be shot (not in the head of course) in black and white.
Sources close to the production are saying to stay tuned, which you know we'll do. In the meantime feast on Shit Zombies Say.
Some pretty interesting details concerning the upcoming Season 3 of AMC's "The Walking Dead" hit the Internet today along with a bit of news clarifying who won't be playing the Governor on the show.
According to the folks at Lilja's Library, the small town of Senoia, Georgia, in Coweta County is about to become "zombie central" with the show scheduled to shoot in the town in May. Construction of zombie sets will begin next week and will involve 60 local carpenters. Scott Tigchelaar of Raleigh Studios Atlanta says people can expect to see the town a little dirtier than normal to fit the look of the show.
In addition, according to the IMDb, Marvin Duerkholz (The Devil Inside, "Teen Wolf") is set to appear in "The Walking Dead"'s Season 3 premiere episode as Phillip Eagle, a new character who does not appear in the comics.
Now, as for that Governor clarification, the rumor was that John Hawkes was under consideration to play Philip Blake, the psychotic zombie killer who declares himself the Governor of Woodbury. Sadly, Hawkes' publicist has stated that "John is NOT appearing on 'The Walking Dead'." Maybe the part will go to Tom Savini after all!

Ford and Jon Ford, The Dead has stunned audiences at such prestigious film festivals as Fantastic Fest, FrightFest and the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival.

In Sega's new trailer for Yakuza: Dead Souls, they remind you that, "It's good to have friends with shotguns." However, I'd take the guy with the gatling gun for an arm over a shotgun toting friend any day.
Yakuza: Dead Souls will task players with not only taking on the Japanese underground in Tokyo, but they will have to take on an invading zombie force as well. The game will be a new take on the Yakuza series as the classic combat system has been replaced with a whole new shooting system with a variety of weapons composing the game's arsenal. The game will feature four iconic characters from Yakuza's past as well. Did I forget to mention the zombies? Everything is better with zombies.

In all of horror literature there are few villains as despicable as The Walking Dead's Governor. Speculation has been running rampant as to who should play him in the TV version of the graphic novel on AMC, and one person has gone so far as to suggest himself. Curious? Read on!
While out and about doing press for The Theatre Bizarre, effects maestro turned director turned actor Tom Savini dropped the following on MovieWeb:
MW: We want to know when you are going to show up on "The Walking Dead".
Tom Savini: When am I going to be on "The Walking Dead"? I should be the Governor on that damn thing!
MW: You should be!
Tom Savini: Listen, I have been campaigning to be the Governor on that damn thing with Greg Nicotero for over a year. Every time I see the graphic novel and I see a picture of the Governor, who looks just like me, I send Greg a picture. I just won't give up. Last time I talked to him about it, when I was in Los Angeles, he said they were going after a name for that part. I said, "Who?" He said John Hawkes. Well, I never heard of John Hawkes. But then he reminds me that we were in From Dusk Till Dawn together. He is the guy at the beginning in the store that fires on them. Apparently he was up for an Academy Award; he was up for something called Winter's Bone. That's whom they are going after for the Governor. But everyone I talk to, the people that read the graphic novels...They've all said that I would be the perfect Governor. Because he is tough and brutal. And...I look just like the graphic depiction of him!
MW: Isn't that character based on your likeness?
Tom Savini: I've never heard it confirmed that it was based on me. I wish the writers and the producers would remember that if [it] was. Because I'm available, and I want to do it. Tell everyone to vote: Tom Savini for Governor on "The Walking Dead"!
We'd love to see it; how about you? Check out this image of Savini, Hawkes, and the Governor compiled by Lilja's Library, and cast your vote below.
