Otto; or, Up With Dead People
Zombie culture seems to quite popular in Germany with the release of Die Nact der Lebenden Loser (aka Night of the Living Dorks). Heck one of our contest winners from last month was from Germany! As filmmakers around the world try to re-interpret the zombie genre, the latest entry from Germany is Otto, or Up With Dead People.
There’s not much info about this movie, but you can check out some stills on their website as well as follow along with the production on the blog. To me, it looks like a German Expressionist take on a Fido type story; but hey who knows until we actually see it. It is currently slated for a 2009 release.
Wow! Thanks for the heads up! Looks like… well, *beautiful* anyway! Will definitely check it out.
I think this one might actually be a Canadian picture. The writer/director is Canadian, anyways.
