On Thursday, Sony’s movie streaming site Crackle showcased the first trailer for Dead Rising: Watchtower, a film that is based on Capcom’s zombie action series.
Just like in the game, the movie too takes place during a zombie outbreak. After a government-produced vaccine fails in stopping the infection from spreading, four survivors are on a quest to find the root cause of the epidemic while fending off the undead to try and stay alive.
The four leads are:
- Jesse Metcalfe — (John Tucker Must Die, Desperate Housewives, Dallas)
- Meghan Ory — (Once Upon A Time, Intelligence)
- Virginia Madsen — (Sideways, Candyman, The Number 23)
- Dennis Haysbert — (24, The Unit)
Rob Riggle too makes an appearance in the movie, playing the role of Frank West. And as you’d expect he gives a pretty hilarious line in the trailer. Man, he never disappoints!
Watchtower was directed by Leprechaun: Origins director Zach Lipovsky. It is produced by Godzilla and Warcraft studio Legendary Entertainment’s TV and Digital Media division.
