ICYMI, Nick Carter has given boy-band lovers and zombie-lovers a reason to celebrate, as he produces and stars in the sci-fi/zombie/western film "Dead 7." Not only does this film star Carter, it also stars several other 90's boyband favorites: AJ McLean and Howie Dorough from Backstreet Boys, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick from *NSYNC, four out of the five original members of O-Town, including Dan Miller, Jacob Underwood, Eric Michael Estrada, and Trevor Penick, and Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees.
The film centers around Jack, played by Carter, and a group of people who join forces to take down a zombie plague in a post-apocalypse small town out in the west. Interestingly enough, the good guys are not necessarily good, as the group Jack (Carter) puts together is a group of the local outlaws... I don't know about you, but I cannot imagine Chris Kirkpatrick as an outlaw.
Carter has been hoping to make a full length film for a while, with a successful run in short films behind him. He came up with the idea for "Dead 7," and took the idea to The Asylum, the production company responsible for the "Sharknado" franchise (in case you're wondering, "Sharknado 4" just wrapped). Like "Sharknado", "Dead 7" will air on SYFY, this Friday, April 1 at 8 P.M.
Either this movie is real, or it's a very elaborate April Fool's joke... but all I know is I can't wait to watch Joey Fatone fight some zombies.
