From the Press Release
Movie star ...Marilyn assassinating zombies? That’s the premise of Marilyn: Zombie Hunter, the upcoming horror/thriller/action film from the producing team behind the award winning film Lazarus: Day of The Living Dead (now available OnDemand, PPV, streaming. With DVD/BluRay in December).
With a seriously monstrous crowd funding campaign kicking off _10/1/2014__, Writer/Director Thomas J. Churchill (The Emerging Past Director's Cut, Syfy’s Monster Man, Church's Hollywood Moments Radio Show) and producing partner David M. Parks (Lazarus:DOTLD, The Emerging Past Director's Cut) plan to satisfy the appetite of all serious action/horror fans who contribute. Cool perks such as one-of-a-kind merchandise, roles in the film, and even ownership at some levels, are sure to get an audience heavily behind this film.
Directed by Churchill from a script he penned with horror author Joe Knetter, the film has also secured model/actress Sarah French to play Marilyn - the iconic blonde bomb-shell movie star turned assassin. Parks will produce this project along with Ignazio Panepinto (Once Upon a Time in Queens, The Emerging Past Director's Cut) and David Rodriguez (American Bully, Once Upon Time in Queens).
Special FX will be created and handled by Roy Knyrim and his Sota FX company. This will mark the third time Knyrim & Churchill has worked together.
When discussing his inspiration for Marilyn: Zombie Hunter, Churchill toyed with the concept of featuring this Hollywood icon as a cool samurai sword-weilding, kick-ass assassin summoned by our President as humanities' last hope against zombie domination. “I needed to get it out of my head, onto paper and on the screen. The film will be a straight-up horror-thriller with no room for ‘cheese’." While on the set of Lazarus, Churchill and Parks had a conversation in which the concept was fleshed out. From that point, Parks created concept art which Churchill leaked to his websites and soon lead to an internet frenzy. Reactions to this unique idea were incredibly positive. “Horror and Marilyn fans will be proud of the vision we have in store. Think Kill Bill meets Buffy The Vampire Slayer," Churchill explained. "They will be very surprised and very pleased with the story we plan to tell." Aside from French being attached to the project, Churchill is tight lipped on the rest of the cast, speculating that the cast could include many A-list celebrities.
