We here at AndyErupts first saw Howard Ford’s The Dead at Grimmfest 2011 and reviewed it shortly thereafter (review here).
To say that we were impressed is an understatement. I loved it. Milton lost his mind over it and since then, we have heard whispers of a sequel. Whispers, that we can now reveal, are based entirely in fact.
The Ford Brothers have also revealed that the much awaited sequel The Dead 2 will be shot in India, and at the Frightfest All-nighter, Howard J Ford unveiled a teaser trailer shot on a recent location recce and announced that the film, for which the screenplay is now completed, is anticipated to start production in February/March 2013.
Howard went on to say: “We have been receiving so much enthusiasm and demand for a sequel we owe it to the fans of ‘The Dead 1′ to deliver something that goes way beyond what we could achieve first time around and the starting point was to find the most stunning and varied landscapes where we have not seen the dead walk before! This teaser trailer is just to give people a little flavour of where we’re heading and to find out if the fans are behind it…’
Jon Ford added, ‘We want part 2 to do something few sequels can rarely achieve by surpassing the first film in every way! We want to give the fans unique and stunning locations, more intense story and action, while maintaining the emotional heart that runs through the whole film. It’s still a journey movie which will have a controversial edge and a lot more scares!”.
More as soon as it comes…
