Wrexham Afc, the Welsh soccer club recently taken over by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, is to be the subject of “A League Apart,” a British romantic comedy from Mad As Birds, producers of “The Vanishing,” starring Gerard Butler.

To be directed by S.J. Evans (“Hiraeth”), the film will follow Phil, a lovable yet down-on-his-luck man obsessed with his failing Wrexham Afc soccer team. His American girlfriend, Christina, wants more out of life and love and Phil must prove that she is more important to him than his soccer team winning.

While “A League Apart” is a work of fiction, its climax is centered around the real-life 1992 Fa Cup clash between bottom of the league underdogs Wrexham and reigning Division One champions, Arsenal.

The project is in the final stages of development, with plans to begin filming in the summer of 2021.

In 2012,the deceased have risen from their graves with only one instinct-to feed on the living. Academics speculate on the scientific cause of the phenomena and theologians point to the Armageddon foretold in the Book of Revelation. But as the cities are over run and civilization crumbles, four generations of one family take refuge from the undead army in an isolated farmhouse in West Wales.

Based on the 1968 zombie classic, Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection is not a direct remake of George Romero’s original, instead it takes inspiration from the original movie, often playing with the audiences expectations and subverting the events that you would expect, given the trend of “remakes”, to take place.

Very much an amateur production, and...

First, there was a warning: you won’t stay dead! Now, we should better watch out, because when the sun goes down – the terror will begin! Spooky stuff, but here we go! A completely new trailer and one new poster for the upcoming Night Of The Living Dead: Resurrection have arrived and we’re here to share it with you! Hope you’ll like it!

In case you’re not so familiar with this independent horror movie, I will first inform you that it comes from director James Plumb, who also co-wrote the script together with Andrew Jones. The film is a British version of the 1968 zombie classic and stars Sabrina Dickens, Kathy Saxondale, Sarah Louise Madison, Richard Goss, Sule Rimi and S.J. Evans.

Based on George Romero’s 1968 zombie classic, Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection focuses on four generations of a British family trapped in a farmhouse in Wales during a zombie apocalypse. The film stars Richard Goss, Johnathon Farrell, Sabrina Dickens, S.J. Evans and Sule Rimi as Ben; and comes from director James Plumb who makes his feature-film debut from a script by Andrew Jones (The Feral Generation).

In 2012,the deceased have risen from their graves with only one instinct-to feed on the living. As the cities are over run and civilization crumbles, a family take refuge from the undead army in an isolated farmhouse in West Wales.

Plumb and Jones are next set to work together on a remake of Silent Night, Bloody Night which will shoot in Wales later this month.

Not be confused with Lucio Fulci’s “City of the Living Dead” (aka “The Gates of Hell” in the Us) or Umberto Lenzi’s similarly sounding “Nightmare City” (aka “City of the Walking Dead” in the Us), this is actually the 1960 supernatural thriller “The City of the Dead” by John Llewellyn Moxey. Got that? Good. Now, moving on… Pillay-Evans Productions has announced today that they’ve teamed up with producer Adam Stephen Kelly to develop a remake of the Moxey film, which is also known as “Horror Hotel” in the States. The remake will be directed by S.J. Evans (“Dead of the Nite”), who promises: The remake of The City Of The Dead will stay true to the original and concentrate on atmosphere and good old fashioned storytelling, instead of relying on gore or CGI to move the plot along. I grew up watching the classic Universal horrors and was...

Pillay-Evans Productions and producer Adam Stephe Kelly are pairing up to remake the 1960s British horror film, The City of the Dead, or, as it was known in the U.S., Horror Hotel.

S.J. Evans (Tattoos: A Scarred History) is on board to write and direct.

“The remake of The City of the Dead will stay true to the original and concentrate on atmosphere and good old fashioned storytelling, instead of relying on gore or CGI to move the plot along," says Evans. "I grew up watching the classic Universal horrors and was inspired by how the likes of James Whale created this sense of dread and unease with just a look. I want to bring that style of filmmaking back to the big screen instead of another music video, quick-cut horror film. We are all very excited by the prospect of bringing one of the greatest witchcraft films ever...
