Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in Bonnie And Clyde…Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in Titanic…Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga in A Star Is Born…Redford and Newman in Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid…Clint Eastwood and Clyde in Every Which Way But Loose…Hanks and Wilson in Cast Away…Sophie Monk and Vanilla Ice in Zombie Plane. Yep, that’s right…joining a long, long list of great cinematic team-ups, Australia’s very own small-screen-omnipresent Sophie “I’ll do anything” Monk and the one-time world’s best white rapper Vanilla Ice will bring their own very particular skill sets to the new horror comedy Zombie Plane, which is currently shooting in Brisbane.
Who came up with this truly and ingeniously bizarre piece of casting? That would be co-directors Lav Bodnaruk and Michael Mier, film set regulars who make their big screen debut here, working from a script from fellow first timer William Strong. Set largely on a Brisbane-bound-for-LA plane that becomes infected with a zombie virus, the airborne horror comedy sees Sophie Monk and Vanilla Ice (playing…this seriously gets even better…themselves!) teaming up to beat down the dead before the gung-ho US Air Force blows the plane out of the air. Also on board are SAS Australia veteran, Home And Away alum and Occupation genre star Dan Ewing, Ann Truong (The Reef: Stalked, Cowboy Bebop), Teressa Liane (The Vampire Diaries) and welcome US import and now Australian based Joey Vieira (Young Rock, Spiderhead, We Will Be Monsters).
Drop the zero, get with the hero, and get on board Zombie Plane…
Zombie Plane will be released in 2024.
