If I'm honest, I read about this whenever it was announced and forgot about it the next day.
The Dead Rising movie, called Dead Rising: Watchtower will be released on Crackle, Sony's streaming service, on March 27th this year. And, it has a surprisingly good cast!
The four leads are Dennis Haysbert (yeah the AllState guy), Jesse Metcalfe, Virginia Madsen, Meghan Ory, and, hilariously, Rob Riggle as Frank West. All of these actors have a solid track record of movies that aren't based on video games, so looks like this movie actually has some real potential. Plus the fact that Rob Riggle is just perfectly cast.
The movie is also being produced by the TV and Digital Media division of Legendary Entertainment, the studio that produced last year's Godzilla and will produce the World of Warcraft movie, whenever that finally comes out.
So yeah, I'll watch it.
