First Platoon is an upcoming post-apocalyptic zombie comedy film which is in pre-production. It was written and directed by Chris Gabriel, and Produced by First Earth Films and Laughing Jack Entertainment.

Synopsis

First Platoon centers around Rock Brannigan (Scott Gibson) and his ragtag squad of ex-military zombie hunters trying to make a living in the desert Southwest two years after the zombie apocalypse. Along the way, they encounter the grizzled Pa Jericho (Sid Haig), and the eccentric Rex Necro (Malcolm McDowell).

Cast

Production

Writer/Director Chris Gabriel created First Platoon with the goal of staying true to classic zombie movies, such as the Living Dead films of George A. Romero in a way that traditional fans will revere, while still offering plenty of hilarity and action.[1] Originally slated to shoot in New Mexico, First Platoon will now be filmed on location in Southern Nevada,[1][2] with leading man Scott Gibson playing the role of Rock Brannigan (originally cast as Alan Tudyk[3]). In order to prepare for their roles, actors Scott Gibson,[4] Jennifer Skyler, and Arron Shiver will undergo military style training under the supervision of Capt. Dale Dye USMC (Ret.), who is the military adviser for the film.[5]

Release

First Platoon was scheduled for release in 2013.[6]
