There’s a lot of zombie movie news coming out of Hollywood this week so I’ve compiled these all into a small, bite size portions for your reading enjoyment…

Principal cast for a new zombie film, named Gatekeeper , was announced last week. The project has a few big names attached to, such as Judge Reinhold and Ron Perlman – wait, are those really big names? In the famously low budget genre of most zombie movies, I’d say that they count.

The filmmakers behind the I Spit on Your Rave are looking for participants in yet another “world’s largest zombie gathering” record. The gathering will be used in a scene for the movie, which is a mockumentary about the world’s largest post-zombie-apocalypse music festival (try saying that 5 times fast).

A release date has been set for Resident Evil: Afterlife of September 17th, 2010.

The World War Z movie adaption is apparently still happening with the recent addition of screenwriter Matthew Michael Carnahan to the project. It’s unclear whether he is just tweaking the script or doing a whole re-write, although author Max Brooks is optimistic, saying “He’s one of Hollywood’s hot A-list writers, so if they went after him and paid him a mountain of gold, it definitely shows their confidence in this project.” I concur, Mr. Brooks.
