Dead Rising: Watchtower — dubbed “Indiana Jones with Zombies” — gets a sequel expected to stream on Crackle in the Spring of 2016. Based on the hit video game, the action/horror flick is about a massive zombie outbreak after a mandatory government vaccine from FEZA (Federal Emergency Zombie Authority) fails to stop the infection from spreading. Who’s left to kill zombies? Jesse Metcalfe (Dallas, Desperate Housewives) — who reportedly did all his own stunts — Meghan Ory (Intelligence, Once Upon a Time) and Dennis Haysbert (Backstrom, 24).
Crackle announced the sequel at its April 14th Upfront. Dead Rising: Watchtower filmed in and around BC Place and out at the old Watchmen set in south Burnaby, so hopefully the sequel will too.
