The upcoming comedic zombie film, “First Platoon”, is starting to show promise after their recent casting of actor Alan Tudyk.
Tudyk has had roles in many films, including iRobot, Knocked Up, Dodgeball but most notably to his geek fans from Joss Whedon’s Firefly and Dollhouse.
Like his fellow cast members Arron Shiver and Jennifer Skyle, he’ll undergo military-style training with Captain Dale Dye, who’s worked as a military advisor for films like Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan.
Other cast members include Malcolm McDowell as Rex Necro, Sid Haig as Pa Jericho, John Kassir as Burke, while Arron Shiver and Jennifer Skyler round out the rest of the zombie hunting team as Rock Brannigan, Molly Mcguire, and Pete Davis.
Although there’s little information about the film, we know that it’s set in a post apocalyptic setting in the Southwest, and the crew is a team of ragtag zombie hunters. The film is also scheduled for release in spring or early summer of 2011.
