French Zombie The Horde Begins Filming

Posted by dominie in Films, News on October 13th, 2008

A first look at Yannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher’s The Horde is now available. Production was initially set to begin in September, but the short delay seems like it may have been well worth the wait.  Executive producer Xavier Gens (Frontier(s)) first told Twitch films that the movie would be a cross between something like Die Hard and REC back in July and from the looks of the image, this may be a new zombie film worth watching.

“North of Paris. In order to avenge the murder of one of their own by a group of ruthless gangsters, four corrupt cops go on a rampage in a condemned building serving as the mobster’s hideout. Now trapped, the officers are about to be executed when the unimaginable occurs: hordes of bloodthirsty, cannibalistic creatures invade the building, savagely attacking everyone. Unexpected alliances are made when their lives are threatened by the unthinkable.”

Currently filming in Paris, the French zombie film stars Eriq Ebouaney, Jean-Pierre Martins, Aurélien Recoing, Claude Perron and Alain Fig as the four corrupt officers.  Filming will take place over seven weeks according to CineEuropa.
