MARILYN
MONROE: ZOMBIE HUNTER
A Church Hill Production & Apothecary Entertainment press release
After winning two awards (Best Horror Film & Best
Make-Up) for Lazarus: Day of The Living Dead at
the New York City International Film Festival, writer/producer/director Thomas
J. Churchill (Lazarus, EP: The Emerging Past,
Syfy’s Monster Man and Mr. Hush)
and his producing partner David M. Parks (Lazarus, EP: The Emerging Past)
are releasing the first teasers of their next project the
horror/thriller/action film Marilyn Monroe: Zombie Hunter.
Marilyn Monroe: Zombie Hunter will be directed
by Churchill from a script he is writing with horror author Joe Knetter and
will star model, actress and scream queen Sarah French as the iconic blonde
bomb-shell turned zombie slayer. David M. Parks will produce.
The positive response to the film announcement in
March created an internet frenzy around this unique concept. Principal
photography is slated to take place in Hollywood, California late 2014 under
the Church Hill Productions/Apothecary Entertainment banner. After
writing Lazarus: Day of the Living Dead,
which will have its worldwide VOD release September 9th (DVD/Blu-Ray
release December 9), Churchill stated that his inspiration for Marilyn
Monroe: Zombie Hunter was “the concept of this incredible Hollywood
icon as a cool samurai sword-wielding, kick-ass assassin summoned by our
President to be humanities' last hope against zombie domination just toyed with
me, and I needed to get it out of my head, onto paper and on the screen.
The film is going to be a straight-up horror-thriller,” he expounded,
“with no room for “cheese.” Horror and Marilyn fans will be proud of the vision
I have in store.”
Churchill adds the film will be “very much an
old-school summer event movie…Kill Bill meets Buffy
the Vampire Slayer.” They will be very surprised and very pleased
with the story we are planning to tell.
