The principle cast for feature length movie Dead Rising: Watchtower has been announced by Legendary’s Digital Media division and Crackle.
Rob Riggle of Let’s Be Cops and 22 Jump Street will play Frank West, the photo-journalist who happens to be skilled in surviving zombie attacks. Joining Riggle are Harley Morenstein (Epic Meal Time), Keegan Connor Tracey (Bates Motel, Once Upon A Time) and Aleks Paunovic (THIS MEANS WAR). The new additions to the cast join previously announced cast members Jesse Metcalfe, Meghan Ory, Virginia Madsen and Dennis Haysbert.
Much like the game, the movie takes place during a massive zombie outbreak. When a mandatory government vaccine fails to work, West and company must evade infection and discover the root of the epidemic.
Crackle will debut the project in feature-length form in the US, followed by launches on video on demand and TV platforms. Content Media Corporation will distribute Dead Rising: Watchtower in feature-length and episodic formats for international markets.
