The West is about to get wilder. Zombie Western Bullets for the Dead is primed to start principal photography 17^th November.

From the Australian producers of Iron Sky and The Time Guardian, this is a film about a hardened bounty hunter James Dalton (Christopher Sommers), a gang of outlaws in his trust led by Annie Blake (Vanessa Moltzen), and a preacher who are forced to work together and battle their way across the American west of the 1870s when the zombie apocalypse begins.

The film is based on an original 3 minute short from the Griffith Film School (GFS) grad films of 2011, overseen by artist in residence and Spanish director Alberto Sciamma (The Killer Tongue/La Lengua Asesina). Seeing its feature film potential, Alberto pitched to friend and sales agent Michael Cowan, Visionquest Entertainment picked it up to produce and GFS pitched in with a facilities deal.

Bullets for the Dead blends the guilt and redemption of the traditional western with all you would expect of a rollicking zombie film. It will be shot in and around South East Queensland across November/December.

Producers are Cathy Rodda and Norm Wilkinson, Creative Director/Producer Alberto Sciamma, Executive Producers Alan Latham, Pat Laughren and Michael Cowan, Written and Directed by Joshua C Birch and Michael Du-Shane.
