"Dead Rising" Film Finds A Director

"Leprechaun: Origins" and "Tasmanian Devils" helmer Zach Lipovsky is set to direct the upcoming film based on Capcom's popular "Dead Rising" video game  says The Wrap.


The game series followed a freelance photojournalist during a zombie outbreak. Trapped in a shopping mall, he can't get out but he has the entire mall at his disposal to craft weapons to fight off the flesh-hungry mob.

Tim Carter ("Mortal Kombat: Legacy") wrote the script for the 90-minute digital feature which Lorenzo di Bonaventura will produce.

The pic will premiere exclusively on Crackle in the US and will be distributed internationally in both episodic and feature format. After its run on Crackle, it will be released on SVOD, DVD, VOD and TV.
