So, with the upcoming release of our little film. We here at TBOZ central thought it might be cool to make a movie poster. And, we thought it might be even cooler if we got a fan to design the thing. So that’s exactly what we’re doing! We want to see what you, the zombie fans, are capable of creating about The Book of Zombie. It’s a creative carte blanche if you will. Impress us, wow us, make us laugh. It’s totally up to you! But we want to see what you’ve got.

Here’s what you need to know:

1)All Submissions must be received by May 5th 2009

2)All entries become property of The Book of Zombie (DMZ Entertainment)upon entry. However, the poster entry may be used in the artist’s portfolio.

We also suggest you add a tagline as well. for example:

We also encourage you to look at the still shots in our gallery and watch the trailer for inspiration regarding the look of the film. You have our permission to use those images in your creation.

Voting will take place in early May via the website. At the end of voting on May 19th there will be two winners, The Producer’s Favorite and the Fan’s favorite. From there we go to press with one of them….We hope. So get out your paintbrushes and charcoal pencils and get to work already! GO!

Greetings from the undead! Just a quick update on where your favorite zombie film stands…or as the case may have it, happens to be lumbering….Reel #3 of 7 is now officially locked, again, meaning there will no longer be any further video edits made, (that is until someone decides to re-cut this beast in 20 years for an extra ridiculous DVD release just to make extra money, NO I’M NOT BITTER ABOUT THAT!). Just a few more of these suckers to go and we’ve got ourselves a pretty slick and sick little flick on our hands. I can almost smell the charred flesh and brains now!

Post production audio is also coming along nicely. Our man Zoltan is slaving away night and day to come up with some of the most disgusting, stomach turning sounds you’ve ever heard. And, get this, some of our audio post production will be performed in Mumbai India. Not only are we local zombies, we’re now international baby!

More exciting than being international, We’ll officially be finished shooting everything we need for the film in a few weeks. We’re planning to shoot a bunch of special effects, things exploding, arrows flying, bullet head shots, you name it…we’re doing it. Now, I know what you’re saying “Dude, I thought you guys finished shooting everything two years ago, what gives?” Well you’re sort of right, we did, but we also discovered that some things would look even better if we re-created and re-shot some of our gore, thumbs into eyeballs and what not, you’ll just have to wait and see. It will be tasty!

In other news, one of our video wizards and men of many talents, Dave, is currently putting together our very special intro and credit sequence, think amazing animation. In fact, here’s a tiny sneak peek at one of the preliminary shots.  By no means is this anywhere near finished, but it’ll look totally awesome by the time he’s done!

Finally, I also know you’re wondering “Dude, when the hell is this thing going to be done?” Short answer, mark your calendar for June 5th. We’re hoping to screen this thing at this year’s Crypticon Seattle!  Now, some of us here at Zombie Central are calling this a “test screening.” Personally, I’d like to believe it’ll be a finished product. Time will tell.

So, how’s that for an update? That’s a lot to wade through….I know. It was worth it though right? I thought so!

Stay tuned and stay undead for more updates soon!
