Fido news and release dates
7th Apr 07
 This has to be one of the most original ideas for a zombie movie I've ever heard off. First off, it's set in a 50s USA where zombies are domestic servants. Secondly, it stars Billy Connolly as the zombie of the title and Carrie Anne Moss (yes, that lady from the Matrix) as a frustrated housewife.
And, in a strange twist, this Canadian made flick is already out in it's native Canada, but won't be out in the US until June, with the UK following soon after.
Check out this press release with a couple of pics, and head over to the official site to see the trailer.
Welcome to Willard, a small town lost in the idyllic world of the 50's, where the sun shines every day, everybody knows their neighbor, and rotting zombies deliver the mail.
Years ago, the earth passed through a cloud of space dust, causing the dead to rise with a craving for human flesh. A war began, pitting the living against the dead. In the ensuing revolution, a corporation was born: ZomCon, who defeated the legions of undead, and domesticated the zombies, making them our industrial workers, our domestic servants - a productive part of society. ZomCon would like the people of Willard to believe they have everything under control… but do they?
Timmy Robinson doesn’t think so. At eleven, Timmy already knows the world is phony baloney - Mom and Dad just won’t admit it. Now ZomCon’s head of security has moved in across the street, and Timmy’s Mom refuses to be the only housewife on the block who doesn't have a zombie of her own. When she brings a zombie servant home, Timmy discovers a new best friend, and names him Fido. And even though Dad has a bad case of zombie-phobia, Timmy is determined to keep Fido, even if he does eat the odd person...
