So successful was the first Dead Rising movie, Watchtower, that Crackle has greenlit a follow-up titled Dead Rising Endgame, Variety reports.
The sequel is set in the zombie-infested quarantined zone of East Mission City, and will once again star Jesse Metcalfe as investigative reporter Chase Carter who must stop a secret government conspiracy that, while ending the zombie threat, will also kill millions of innocent people.
“With last year’s success of Dead Rising: Watchtower, there was no question that Crackle viewers had an insatiable appetite for this popular and entertaining franchise,” said Eric Berger, GM of Crackle and exec VP, Sony Pictures Television Digital Networks. “We can’t wait to deliver another great feature for this ‘rabid’ and loyal audience.”
Cast members also returning are Keegan Connor Tracy as camera operator and producer Jordan Blair, Dennis Haysbert as General Lyons, and Patrick Sabongui in a new role as a zombie killer and video-game aficionado.
Billy Zane is a new member of the cast, playing Rand, a handsome but cruel scientist.
Look out for Dead Rising: Endgame this summer.
